Do the provisions pertaining to set-off and carry forward of losses confuse you too?
If yes, then you have arrived at the right place that will clear most of your confusion as I have here tried to summarise the sections in the simplest way possible.
Few points to understand before you start going through the table.
The losses are to be set-off in the sequence mentioned:
- first the losses are set-off under the same head of income
- second from any other head of income
- residual to be carried forward to further assessment years
