08 October 2013 Dear Sanket,

The taxability of such property (even if it is not generating any income as of now) shall depend on the intent of the assessee - whether he bought it for business purpose or otherwise.

Refer to Allahabad high court judgment in the case of goel builder for detailed discussion on the same.
