An assessee, who was deriving income from house property, realised a sum of ` 52,000 on

account of display of advertisement hoardings of various concerns on the roof of the building. He

claims that this amount should be considered under the head “Income from house property” and

not “Income from other sources”. How do you deal with the following issue under the provisions

of the Income-tax Act, 1961

Rent on account of display of advertisement hoarding of various concerns on the roof of the building cannot be taxed as ‘Income from House Property’ but will be taxed as ‘Income from Other Sources’ because hoarding on roof of building cannot be treated as part of the building.
