The HUF owns a residential property which has three identical residential units. Unit 1 and Unit 2
are self occupied by the members of the HUF for residential purpose. Municipal tax paid @ Rs.
5,000 per annum for each residential unit. Unit 3 is let out for a rent of Rs. 8,000 per month. The
tenant paid the Municipal tax in respect of Unit 3 as per agreement. The Assessee realised Rs.
1,20,000 on 16.4.2009 as per court order towards arrear rent for the period from 1/1/2007 to
31/12/2008.Interest on housing loan 36000(actual paid 25000)

Good Question.....

As i know house property means a unit.....

So in ur question u said that in the house is containing 3 units, from this i can say that - only one unit will be treated as self occupied and the other units will be treated as let-out .

no....each unit if specifically identified is a separate house property....so the assessee can have only 1 unit of the house as SOP....nd other 2 will be taxable under H.P.........

 

i am 100% sure on this as i got this same question in my test nd i did the same mistake....

Yes u r right Sneha.......

Each unit will be treated as seperate house property....

thanks for ur replies..:-)but d sir who came for crash course told me that unit is not a property and the same question was asked in may 2010 and  im totally confused .. pls do check out the solved papers of income tax may 2010 i found two answers in this site ..  i don want to repeat the same mistake this nov plzzzz

gud ques..

look dear in case of hp each floor is to b treated as a diff. unit ..nw in ques there r three units 1 unit is let out 4 sure rit???ques is between the other 2 units...in such case v go with the concept of deemed let out.....1 self occupied hp ie 1 section of house will b treated as self occupied and the other section will b treated as "deemed let out" and will b taxable under hp...nw ques arrises as to which part is to b treated as deemed let out....so my dear the ans is solve the ques both ways that is 1c take ground floor as deemed let out and then solve the ques by taking 1st floor as deemed let out...the alternative through which taxable income from hp is less will b the rit option...this is called tax planning....dont get confused.....hope it will help u
