18 February 2012 1)If I have only one house but could not occupy it because of my job at some other city and the property is remained vacant. Then will this property be treated as let out or Self occupied.

2) Will there be any difference if I am not occupying the property because of my own convenience ( not because of my Employment Purpose at other city).

3) If my self occupied property ( inseparable) is given on rent for 4 month. Then will I have to pay Tax on only 4 months rent. Can I claim 8 months vacency.
