25 April 2015 If the income has been earned by mere exploiting of the ownership of the property, then the same is assessable as income from house property. However exception to this rule is that if the immovable property has been temporarily let out with the primary object to exploit the same by way of complex commercial activity then the income is assessable as income from business.
