One of my clients has received income from business trust (powergrid investment infrastructure trust) and tds is also deducted under section 194LBA. He has shown this income in his ITR under the head of income from other sources at normal rate.

Now the income tax department has sent notice that income from business trust is not shown in your ITR. Kindly show this income under income from other sources at the specified rate.

Please help me in this regard
