Quick Summary
This discussion examines whether a director can offset a loss incurred from interest payments on loans taken to invest in their company against their salary income. The consensus is that losses from 'other sources' can generally only be set off against income from the same source in the same tax year and cannot be carried forward. Losses against salary income are typically restricted to specific scenarios, such as losses from self-occupied property.

Yes he can but in current year means same year when the loss occurred
as it is not carry forward
No.....

He can not set off loss from salary invome
Loss from other sources can only be set off in the same year and cannot be carried forward except loss arising from maintainance of race horses
@ Jatinder Kumar
Is there any specific section or case law for not setting of loss against salary income

Income from Salary can be set off only with loss on self occupied property. ( loss due to interest on loan for purchase/construction) and not other losses.

Loan to a company by a director by taking loan from others is offence under companies Act.

Pl see rule 2(1)(c)(viii) in Companies (Acceptance of Deposit) Rules 2014.
