The Loss from House Property is allowed to be set-off against any other Income arising during the same year. Therefore, if there is a loss under head House Property, and there is Income under any of the other 5 heads of Income i.e. Salary/ House Property/ Business or Profession/ Capital Gains/ Other Sources, this loss from House Property can be adjusted against such income.


The Loss under head House Property which is allowed to be set-off against Income from Other Sources is restricted to Rs. 2 Lakhs for each assessment year. The balance unabsorbed loss would be allowed to be carried forward to the next assessment year and set-off accordingly. This amendment is applicable from Assessment Year 2018-19 onwards.
