29 October 2010 Agree with shailesh that business loss can be set off against property income. Since this is a very straight query, no need to give any case law etc.

However to add s new dimension to this query, since there is no revenue during the year, the expenditure under the head business and profession shall not be allowed as a deduction and loss will not be available for set off against the property income.
