Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to set off losses from a house property against other income sources like salary and long-term capital gains (LTCG). Losses from house property can be set off against income from any head, up to a maximum of £2 lakh per financial year. Any remaining loss beyond this limit can be carried forward for up to 8 years, but can only be set off against future house property income. The order of setting off losses is not relevant.

Applicable from 2018-19 onwards  .... The loss from house property can  be set off against Income from Other Heads .... upto  limits of Rs 2 lakhs for each financial year.

The sequence  of heads is irrelevant.

You can carry forward the remaining loss amount to the next fiscal year to set off.

@ Honourable Dhirajlal sir ,loss from house property can be setoff any head of income .. exceeding 2 lakh or within 2 lakh??? which limit above or below

Upto Rs. 2 lakhs means maximum upto Rs. 2 lakhs, not above that...

If loss from head IFHP is Rs. 3 lakhs... One can set off  loss of Rs. 2 lakhs against any other head in same financial year, and remaining loss of Rs. 1 lakh is carried forward (max 8 years) that  can be adjusted only against IFHP.

Thanks 😊 for your Kind explanation Dhirajlal sir...

My Pleasure..
