Set Off and Carry forward of Losses haven't made any provisions of Salary LOSSES being Set off against some other income...so i guess under Tax Law Negative Salary not possible.
Moreover if we think Logically we can't pay salary to our own Emlpoyer and claim it as an expense under the Head Salaries. So for me Negative Not possible.

One should apply his mind while studying course like CA.

( The major mistakes are committed by the most of the students that they study too much but don't apply their own mind about applicability of a particular point ).

Co-relation of various chapters should be kept in mind while reading a subject.

Refer the set off and carry forward of loss chapter to decide.

Apply logic :

Have you heard someone saying : This year I have made losses from Salary ?

( one more point : is it possible when no deductions from Salary are allowed )?

How much professional tax is likely to paid over and above Salary ?

Apply logic : If taxes are paid more than the Salary earned; who would be interested to do such type of service ?

What I meant to convey was :

Due to vast syllabus; students tend to read it very fast and ultimately not knowing what they read just after the end of the day !

At initial level; If you read slowly with perfect understanding of a point, para and topic; soon your speed would be high and this way you would overcome the problem of the vast syllabus.

( But I warn again here : First reading should be very fast ).

It should be just towards having one idea ( scope ) about the topics and the subject ). For fast track; even one may resort to index of the subject given in a book. ( Please read my articles ).

For example; if you can start the subject with any of the topic randomly; it means you can tackle it well. But if you are not able to do such in a particular subject; then definitely it requires more concentration since its beginning.

You may refer my articles published at caclub for proper understanding of the CA Curriculum.

Some of them are :

1. Why brilliant students underperform as average students

.

2. Average students are actually not average students

After reading this article EVERY STUDENT ( Yes, everyone ) can assure himself that he is not an ordinary student. The problem is due to applying ordinary ways. Influenced by others; one is confused what to do despite he is good enough in a particular stream ).

.

3. Tips to get success in CA exams after continuos failure

.

4. MAKING SUBJECTS INTERESTING IN PROFESSIONAL CAREER

5. Easy solution for loss of memory during exam days

6. Revision of whole syllabus in day one at the time of exam

( Due to some "harsh" words; if you become "HIGH ALERT;" surely it will pay for your own benefit ).

HUMOUR :

Since there can't be a NEGATIVE income from the HEAD Salary;

hence one should not keep NEGATIVE thoughts in his HEAD (mind) while studying.

Please don't mind and be happy.

I do understand that sir..

I know logically it can never happen .. but i had heard many cases from people who have been teaching tax for 25 yrs+ that it is possible to get a negative income ( atleast mathematically )...

Me , being a maths student just wanted to confirm and prove a point , thats it..
