How? that means your income from salary is negative which is not possible any way.

Loss from House Property can be set-off against salary.

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

yes can be set off.

@ Rohit first read the question carefully then answer it and Ruben how can I assume a income as a loss. However, it is true that "Loss from House Property"  can be set off against " Income from Salary"..

@ sanjay. Lol i guess you are the one who couldnt understand the question properly and making the simple issue complicated.

Yes it can be done.

Sir he/she was referring to the HEAD on Income and not a particular income under that head.

@ Rohit it is true that I am not genius like you who can understand the inner meaning of a word.

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.
