Ancestral properties were assessed to income tax as HUF of the succeeding brothers with the eldest brother as Karta of the HUF and local authority Khata (Muncipal document) of the properties was held in the name of the Karta of HUF and one Property Khata (Muncipal document) was held in the name of the brother (Coparcener) of the Karta.
After the registered partition of the HUF properties between the brothers (Coparceners), the respective successors to the properties as allotted in the partition deed, the Khata of the properties were transferred to their respective names.
Whether the house property income (Rents) arising from the properties so acquired/allotted tothe brothers (coparceners) out of this partition be treated as Income of the new smaller HUFs of the brothers (Coparceners) and assessed to income tax or should the same be treated as Rental income of the Individual in whose name the property was allotted in the registered partition deed.
