Set off unabsorbed depreciation if 1 return is not filed in between

Hello,

FY 2016-17 contains unabsorbed depreciation of Previous year (FY 2015-16).
Now ITR not filed for FY 2017-18.

Can unabsorbed depreciation be set off against profits of FY 2018-19?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around setting off unabsorbed depreciation from a previous financial year (FY 2015-16) against profits in a later year (FY 2018-19), even if the intervening year's return (FY 2017-18) was not filed. While generally permissible, it's advised to ensure no taxable income existed in the unfiled year. If there was taxable income, it must be set off against that year's income first, with only the balance eligible for carry forward.

It's ok. Setoff against 2018-19 income. In rare cases, a notice will be given by Income tax department asking to file 17-18 return. Then u can file. But it's very rare. So don't worry. Adjust ur 16-17 losses with 18-19 income
Okay thank you
But make sure there will be no taxable income in 17-18. Because if there income in 17-18, u must set it off against 17-18 income and balance only in 18-19.
