Pf withdrawal set off against business loss

184 views 2 replies

I am salaried person with salary income of Rs5L in FY 16-17. In the FY 16-17, I withdrawn the PF from my previous organization for Rs 2Lakhs. Also in part time I do business and incurred a loss of Rs3 Lakhs. For the salary income Tax is deducted at source. Is it possible to set off loss against the PF withdrawal fund . Pls suggest whether it is applicable

Loss of business cannot be set off against Salary Income. The loss can be carried forward though for a period of 8 Assessment Years.

if  the  PF  account  has  been  completed  5  years  before  withdrawal,  then  whole  the  amount  is  tax  free. otherwise  it  would  get  taxable 

taxable PF  amount  can  not  be  adjusted in  any other  head.
