(ii) Loss under the head capital gains can be carried forward u/s 74 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and set-off for maximum period of 8 assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment year for which the loss was first computed. (iii) Loss under the head Income from Other Sources which is not set-off in the year in which it is incurred cannot be carried forward and set-off in the subsequent assessment years.
