"Set Off and Carry Forward of Losses from House Property
A loss from house property can be set off against income from any other head in the same year.
Any remaining loss can be carried forward for upto 8 years. In these subsequent years, this loss can be set off only against income from house property.
A loss for a particular year can be carried forward even if the income tax return for that year is not filed by the due date."
