Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a partner can offset remuneration received from a partnership firm against losses incurred in their sole proprietorship business. While initial thoughts suggested this wasn't possible due to profit/loss exemptions from partnerships, the consensus reached is that remuneration from a partnership and losses from a proprietorship can indeed be set off. This is because both are considered business income under income tax laws.

As per my opinion, no, he can't.

since any share of profit or loss from partnership firm to partner is exempt u/s 10(2A). Since exempt income can't be allowed to be set off and carry forward partner can't set off his share of loss of firm against any income whether it be a remuneration or whatever
Remuneration to partner is not exempt in the hands of partner
I am not saying that remuneration is exempt. share of profit or loss from partnership firm is exempt in the hands of partner
Yeah but my question is that remuneration can be set off against business loss or not!?
Remuneration from Partnership firm can be used to setoff loss of Proprietoship firm since both are business income of income tax purposes.
