	mr. dhirajlal, could you please provide the proviso under which it is mentioned that only 2 lakhs can be claimed for let out property?

Did I mean that? May be wrongly interpreted.

1. While computing income chargeable to tax under the head “Income from house property” in case of a let-out property, the taxpayer can claim deduction under section 24(b) on account of interest on loan taken for the purpose of purchase, construction, repair, renewal or reconstruction of the property. In case of a let-out property, there is no limit on the quantum of interest which can be claimed as deduction under section 24(b). However, in case of a self occupied property, limit is Rs. 2,00,000 or Rs. 30,000, as the case may be.

2.  As per Finance bill, 2017..........

Restriction on set off of loss from House Property

If the net result of computation of income under the head “House Property” is loss then such loss can be set-off against any other income upto Rs. 2 Lakh in any assessment year.

However, the loss which couldn’t be set off can be carried forward for set-off in subsequent years. It can be carried forward for 8 Assessment years for set-off.
