Sir Income includes NEGATIVE INCOME aslo. So Income from House Property shall be read as Loss from House Property.

Yes it can be done.

Sir he/she was referring to the HEAD on Income and not a particular income under that head.
sanjay is not wrong.. actually the question is wrongly drafted...the question is "whether income from house property can be set off against salary" ... there is no need to set off any income.... losses are set off alright.... and yes house property loss can be set off against salary income.
