Loss under the head house property can be set- off against any heads of income even after due date. As per Section 139(3) read with section 80 the loss can be set off and carry forward only if return should be filled under section 139(1).
But loss under the head house property can be set - off in later years as well, there is no restriction to file the return on time under section 139(1).
Therefore, loss under the head house property can be set-off with business income even after the due date.
