Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether brought forward losses from a previous financial year can be set off against current income when the tax return for that previous year was filed after the due date. The consensus is that losses from House Property can be carried forward and set off even with a late filing. However, for losses under the head 'Business' or 'Capital Gains', filing the return after the due date in the year the loss occurred prevents them from being carried forward and set off.

Loss under the head "Income from House Property" can be carried forward even if last year ITR was filed after due date. But, if the P.Y. loss is from Business or Capital gain, it can not be brought forward if ITR was filed after due date
I want to know abt set off of b/f loss from P.Y., not abt current year losses...
if i have b/f loss of P.Y.19-20 then whether it can be set off in P.Y.20-21 if i filed the return after due date
If loss is from house property or unabsorbed depreciation then you can set off even if you file return after due date

In my view, the requirement of filing tax return within the due date is applicable to current year's losses and not past year's losses. Hence, if there is a delay in filing tax return for PY 2020-21, the losses brought forward from PY 2019-20 should be permitted to be set off.

Ok thank
