Yes,It is Permissible under Section 71. . . Where in respect of any A.Y. the net result of the computation under the head "Profit and gains of Business or profession" is a loss and the assesse has income assessable under the head "Salaries", the assesse shall not be entitled to have such loss setoff against such income. . . However , it shall be allowed to set off from income under any other head . . . .
Note:However we need to note that where intra head adjustment was not permitted,,there inter head adjustment will also be not permitted..like (speculation business loss,35AD business,owing and maintaing race horse loss...,lotter..etc.)
