Thanks in Advance

19 February 2009 The law does not permit for such a set off. Pl refer section 71(2A) of the income-tax act,1961.

19 February 2009 Where income from a particular source is exempt from tax loss from such a source cannot be setoff against income chargeable from tax. since agricultural income is exempt under section 10 agricultural loss can not be set off against salary income.
