1. Residential property under construction can not be regarded as Building. Hence not be taxable. HOWEVER LAND WILL ATTRACT WEALTH TAX IF FALL UNDER URBAN LAND.

2. Residential property be regarded as assets and hence be taxable. since it is not let out for period more than 300 days.

3. Residential property will be chargeable to wealth tax. However Rs 35 lakhs deductible from value of assets.
