Most important to remember is that for carry forward of losses , you will have to file return of income within due date as per section 80 of the I T Act. If you file the return late , you miss great opportunity of adjustment of loss in subsequent years’ income. Here is a chart to give you a ready reckoner for laws related to carry forward of losses and adjustment with income of subsequent years.

Sir
I am of the opinion that unabsorbed depreciation could be set off against any income (including salaries).
whereas the business loss cannot be set off against salary income.
Can you pls tell us why you have mentioned that unabsorbed depreciation cannot be set off against salary?
Is there a decided case law or a legal bar in interpreting the section. If so, pls explain?

I am really surprised to see that my earlier post on this article is not published.
Its about carry forward of depreciation and set off against salary income.
Law dont make any difference between the current and unabsorbed depreciation.
Nothing in the law stops in setting off the depreciation against salary income.
So unabsorbed depreciation can also be set off against salary.
Can you pls clarify your posting?
