18 February 2015 My ans is in response to this query whereby law is clear.refer section 2(ea) of Wealth Tax Act, 1957 and the exception to this clause whereby it says that any house let out for more then 300 days is not within definition of "asset" hence not taxable so in your case it is let out for less then 300 days hence it is an asset and hence taxable.
