07 September 2010 Sec. 22 of the Act provides that the annual value of property consistig of any building or lands appurtenant thereto of which the assessee is the owner shall be subject to Income Tax under the head "Income from House Property" provide such property or any portion of property is ot used by the asseee for the purposes of any business or profession carried on by him, the profits of which are chargeable to Income Tax.

Hence, the Income from rent would not be taxed under the head Income from House property.

Futher, the capital gain arises on the sale would be STCG. Opening WDV less sale price would be STCG.
