Regarding Interest Income set off

Dear Members



Please clarify whether a person having interest income from Fixed deposit can set off the interest income with that of Interest payment on Term loan which he had taken on security of the same Fixed deposit?

Only losses can be set off against permissible income.

ur q is not clear

NO INTEREST INCOME WILL BE SHOWN AS INCOME 

 

IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE LOAN THAN THAT INTEREST WILL BE TAKEN AS EXPENSE

ON THE OTHER HAND IF LOAN IS TAKEN FOR HOUSE PROPERTY THAN IT WILL BE ALLOWABLE UNDER THE HEAD HOUSE PROPERTY

no he can not set off. however if he took term loan for the purpose of business or house property then he can claim interest as expenses or loss from house property respectively and can set off against interest income under other sources.

security does not matter and can not be set off

No it is not allowed,

only those expenses are allowed which are incurred for earning that income.

in u r  case, 

income is from fixed deposit

expense is for term loan 

both are independent to each other 

so only interest income on FD  is considered 

Interest expense on TL is not allowed for deduction on income from other source
