(i) renting of immovable property by a religious body or to a religious body; or
(ii) renting of immovable property to an educational body, imparting skill or knowledge or lessons on any subject or field, other than a commercial training or coaching centre.
Explanation [1]. — For the purposes of this clause, “for use in the course or furtherance of business or commerce” includes use of immovable property as factories, office buildings, warehouses, theatres, exhibition halls and multiple-use buildings;]
[Explanation 2. — For the removal of doubts, it is hereby declared that for the purposes of this clause “renting of immovable property” includes allowing or permitting the use of space in an immovable property, irrespective of the transfer of possession or control of the said immovable property;]
If rent is not received from the immovable property for use in the course of furtherance of business and commerce, it is not taxable. The status of plot whether commercial or residential etc is not relevant for any further clarification you may contact CA suresh jain at sureshjain.nj@gmail.com
