14 September 2014 Actually Rent received shall be treated as income from house property . If Rent income with other facility are not separable then it can be treated as business income or income from other source.

Assumption 1 :

So I assumed that you provide the rent along with some furniture and other facility which were not separable from your composite rent.

If you want to claim the rent received under the business income to income from house property you required to separate / split the rent component into building rent and other facility rent.

There by rent received on let out taxed under the income from house property and other facility rent charged under the head income from other source or business income as your wish.

Assumption 2:

If you receive the rent from letting out property only there will be no other facility then

earlier year you claimed wrong head this years onward you can change from business income to house property.
