An assessee (Individual) has purchased two adjacent flats in a building and combined the two flats into one. Now the question is whether this combined flat will be treated as one house property or two house properties under Income Tax?
If treated as one house property, it will become SOP and no tax on same. However if treated as two properties, one property will be SOP and another will become DLOP which will attract income tax.
