  1. House Property This is the only head where Income is taxed on Notional Basis. The taxability may not necessarily be of actual rent or income received but the potential income, which the property is capable of yielding. Accordingly, if a person owns a property which is lying vacant, notional income with respect to such property may be liable to tax even though the owner may not have received any income from such property. According to Chapter 4, Section 22 - 27 of Income Tax Act, 1961 there is a provision of income under head of house property. In every section from 22-27 there are detail specification of house property income. It is defined as income earned by a person through his house or land.

  2. Income Comes Under Head of House Property: Annual value of building or land owned by assessee. There is a charge on the potential of property to generate income not on the rent received. But if property is used for making profit in business then it will be taxable not under this head but will be taxable under head of profit in business/ profession.

  3. BASIS OF CHARGE For an Income to be assessed under this head following condition need to be fulfilled: • The property should consist of any Buildings or any land attached to such building may be in the form of roads, garden, garage, cattle shed etc. •   The assessee should be owner / deemed owner of the property; wherein Deemed owner includes the following: • Transfer of Property by an Individual to his/ her Spouse/ Minor child without adequate monetary consideration. • Holder of an indivisible estate shall be the owner of properties in that estate.  

  4. Property held by a member of Co-operative society/ Company/ Association of Persons.   • Person who has acquired a property under a Power of Attorney Transaction.  •  Person who has acquired a property under a Lease of 12 years or more, (excluding any rights by way of a lease from month to month or for a period not exceeding one year). • The Property is not used for his Business/ Profession the profits whereof are chargeable to Income Tax.

  5. Properties chargeable to tax • Rental income from letting out of residential and commercial buildings is covered under this head of income. • Letting out of buildings or land attached thereto covered is taxable under this head; if only land attached to a building is let out then chargeable under Income from Other Sources else under Business Income if it is a regular business of letting out. • Taxability also depends on letting out of equipments along with the House Property, dealt below under Composite Rent.

  6. How to calculate annual value of property According to annual value, house property is calculated as • Annual value of a house is zero if property is in the occupation of the owner for his residence for the whole year & if no other benefit is availed by owner from his property. There will be no deductions as given under section 24 except deduction interest on borrowed capital • If the owner lets out the house or a part thereof for any period of time during the previous year the annual value of the property or part has to be calculated for the whole year and the proportionate annual value of the period for which the house or any part thereof was in the occupation of the owner for his own residence shall be deducted from the gross annual value. The assessee in such cases cannot claim deduction under section 24 in excess of the annual value so determined.

  7. The assessee occupies more than one house for his residence, the above exemption is applicable only to one such house at the option of the assessee. The annual value of the other house or houses shall be computed as if the house or houses are let • In case where the assessee has only one residential house but it cannot be occupied by the owner by reason of that owing to his employment, business or profession carried out on at any other place, he has to reside at that other place in a building not belonging to him, the annual value of such house shall be taken to be nil if the house is not actually let and no other benefit is derived by the owner from such house. The assessee cannot claim any deduction in such case as allowable under section 24 of the Act except for interest on borrowed capital subject to a maximum of Rs. 15,000/-

  8. HOW COMPUTATION IS MADE?

  9.   SELF OCCUPIED PROPERTY Income Tax Act allows an Individual to claim negative House Property income to be set off against other heads of income. This is possible only in cas e of a self occupied property, basic factors affecting it being: • Interest on Borrowed Capital: If Capital is borrowed by an assessee for funds utilization towards Self Occupied Property then following situations come into picture:

  10. A House Property owned by the assessee which is neither actually occupied by the assessee nor any benefit is derived from such property owing to employment or Business/ Profession carried on at any other place, wherein the assessee during the previous year stays at any other leased accommodation elsewhere, then in that case the assessee is allowed to claim such property as Self Occupied. • Even if assessee is the owner of two or more House properties, he can claim only one of them as Self Occupied, at his discretion and the rest will be treated as DEEMED TO BE LET OUT PROPERTIES and calculation of Income from House property will be done accordingly. • Any House Property if it is to be claimed as Self Occupied in a Previous year is Let Out for even One day of a year it will be taken as Let Out for the whole of the year and computation will be done accordingly.
