If ground is given on rent than it will be treated as other sources or PGBD but not as house property because there is no building

Any income, arising out of vacant land, is not covered under the head house property even though it may be received as rent, ground rent or lease rent. Such income would be assessable as income from other sources. Even rent, arising out of open spaces, or quarry rent, is taxed as income from other sources.
