11 April 2014 tell me when can any1 sublet...when already the orignal person have let out so when letting out is considered as income from hoiuse property then subletting is automatically taken as income from house property since the basic income is from renting and even subletting is a part of renting of original renting....

11 April 2014 agreed with Tushar...you may also refer Smarts (P.) Ltd. v. CIT [2008] 166 Taxman 53 (Delhi).

also, given that you have rights to reside in excess of 12 years, it anyways get covered under house property by virtue of section 27(iiib)

14 April 2014 Mr.Tushar Generally subletting of property is taxed under Income from house property.

but i agree with Mr. Nikhil. i was also thinking that this section overrides section of Income from other Sources.
