Set-off and carry-forward are concepts that help us grasp the tax system's flexibility.


Losses incurred in a particular financial year need to be declared while filing an ITR so as to be able to carry forward them to the next financial year and set them off against the future income.


You add your brought-forward losses on Quicko in 2 ways:
