30 December 2011 Such rental will be taxable under the head 'Income from House Property'.

If you receive the lease rental in lump sum, the whole amount will be taxable in the year of receipt.

If you receive monthly rental, then the rental will be taxable on accrual basis.

You will be allowed a deduction of 30% of the gross annual value.

Also, deduction of interest paid on loan availed for construction of such building is also allowed as deduction.

The answer to the second question depends on the nature of the investment.

If you invest in shares/mutual funds, then the income will be taxable under the head Capital Gains.

If you invest in debentures/bonds/fixed deposit, then the income will be taxable under the head 'Income from Other Sources'.
