can we set off unabsorbed dep  or  current  year  dep against salary? site any case law if possible

Replies (5)

I am quoting certain case laws for you:-

CIT v. Virmani Industries (P) Ltd.

CIT v. Haryana Hotels Ltd.,

In my view, unabsorbed depreciation can be set-off against any head of income. But, current year depreciation forms part of curretn year Business Income. As we know, business loss cannot be set-off against salary income, hence, current year depreciation cannot be set-off against salary income. 

Also, we could take a stand that unabsorbed depreciation of previous years forms part of the current year depreciation and subsequently not getting set-off with salary, but the views of various courts have made it clear that the law has distinguished the provisions of set-off and carry forward of business losses and unabsorbed depreciation losses.

As such, current year depreciation cannot be adjusted whereas unabsorbed depreciation can be adjusted with salary income for an indefinite period.

Hope this helped.
