This discussion clarifies whether losses from a house property can be set off against current year Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG). The consensus is that while house property losses can generally be set off against other income heads in the same year, there's a specific restriction when it comes to capital gains. Brought forward house property losses cannot be offset against LTCG, and current year house property losses also cannot be set off against LTCG.

Mam, I have read this, "The Loss from House Property is allowed to be set-off against any other Income arising during the same year. Therefore, if there is a loss under head House Property, and there is Income under any of the other 5 heads of Income i.e. Salary/ House Property/ Business or Profession/ Capital Gains/ Other Sources, this loss from House Property can be adjusted against such income. The net income so computed after set-off of Loss under head House Property would be taxable as per the Income Tax Slabs"
