As we all know that we get standard deduction of 30 % on rent income along with other exps. like municipal corporation tax etc.
I want know that whether it is applicable to individuals (property buyers) ? or applicable to builder of the same property also ? i.e. if i am engaged in construction business, I have built up 50 flats, among the 50 flats I have given 5 flats on rent to Reliance Inds.or to any other individual... So, as a builder of the property can i claim 30 % of standard deduction or it will be considered as my business income ??
