One of our client filed income tax return with out claiming loss from House property, but the same is considered in the Form 16 and TDS was dedcuted.
Now In the Assessment The assessing officer is saying that as the loss is not claimed in the Return, this can not be considered and need to pay the balance tax.

Claim will not be considered if not supported by a properly filled in and verified return. You have two choices now. i) try revised return if the original is filed with in the due date and the assessment year is not barred by limitation. ii) try revision, before the commissioner of income tax , after the completion of assessemt.

It may be possible that you might have filed belated return and at this stage, it may not be possible to do so.
You may informally accept your mistake and requestthe ITO to consider the loss also, as it is apparent from the records available to him.
He can arrive the Salary Amount by Form 16 only, where deduction U/s 24 has been show. Even if he does not accept , it can be get rectified at a later stage also.

In this case, looking to the genuineness of the claim, ITO will allow the claim for loss as it directly emerges from the point, from where addition in income starts.
