Loss from house property head

as per my knowledge loss from house property can be setoff only against income from salary only

as per sec 71 loss from house property can be set off against income from other heads including capital gains

Yes.. loss from house property can be adjusted with in limit of 2,00,000 balance should be carry forward

as per my knowledge we can set off HP loss against other heads in any order which is beneficial to assessee...there is no such rule that it should be first set off against salary income only

set off of losses should be in order to the head income from sources as per IT Act
sources.... Income from Salary, House property capital gains, business loss
If an A' have adequate salary income, HP loss should be set off with salary income.
Now come to the Capital gains, If afore said condition not following to the A' , HP losses can be set off with any source of capital gains .

1. There is no specific provision explaining the order in which the current year loss should be set off in case of inter-head adjustments.  
2. Therefore, it shows that it can be set off in a way which is beneficial to the assessee. 
3. Those sections which merely acts as machinery for collection of tax should be construed liberally and it should not be interpreted strictly. Refer case law - Gursahai Saigal vs. CIT, the point is not to burden the assessee but to curb tax evasion or tax avoidance. 
4. This view can be used as a point of argument while replying to A.O.
Please correct me if the above interpretation has an alternative view.
