The ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal, holding that section 71(2) of the Income Tax Act permits the set-off of business losses against income from other sources, including capital gains, without prescribing a sequence for such set-off.

The tribunal clarified that the assessee's method of setting off losses against income under different heads constituted legitimate tax planning within the statutory framework. Consequently, the deduction under Chapter VI-A disallowed by the Assessing Officer was directed to be granted as claimed by the assessee.
