Ans: Loss from house property can be set off in the same year against Income from Salaries.

But Depreciation loss is a kind of business loss and business loss can not be set off against same year's Salary Income.

Reply- The exception is again Depreciation Loss. It never becomes old. It is treated as fresh as if it is of current year or of the same year's depreciation.
As it becomes loss of the same year by the above virtue, it can be set off against any income except salary income.

21 July 2011 means sir ,
unabsorbed depriciation of any of the p.y. can be set off against current year's income except salary?

21 July 2011 Yes. In case there is no b/fd business loss,and only unabsorbed depreciation is there, we can add it with the current year's depreciation.
As such it become the part of the current year's expenditure and eligible for set off against the profit of the current year.

Further, Current year's depreciation can be set off against any other income except salary.
