Due to insertion of sub-section 3A under Sec 71, limit of interest on housing loan is restricted to Rs. 2 Lakhs in case of SOP

Also, in case LOP, loss from income from house property can be set-off upto Rs. 2 Lakhs only.

In case of SOP the limit is RS 2 Lakhs. However , in case of LOP the entire amount can be claimed.

Yes it says that loss of RS 2 lakhs can be setoff against any other heads of income the remaining amount can be carried forward to the subsequent years. It is just limiting the set off of loss and not the interest amount that can be claimed under lop.

Yes... The 2 lakhs limit is only for setting off and not in respect of interest amount in case of lop. If you have rental income of 10 lakhs and your interest on borrowed capital also 10 lakhs, then the entire 10 lakhs can be adjusted against rental income and the balance, if any, can be set-off to a maximum of 2 lakhs. In case of sop, interest itself can be claimed only up to 2 lakhs
