Hi Karan...
There is no restriction in the Income tax act..
Theoretically, you can set off,
But practically no one can do it because such a set off provision is not there in the income tax return.
(Electronic or manual - both do not have the provision to set off - see the schedule CYLA)
For an exam purpose, the answer is no, since it is a better view and it is practically adopted.
And salary income can be reduced by CURRENT YEAR LOSS from the follwing heads
a) House property,
b) Other sources.
