CA Final Nov 2000 – 3 Mark Question
.
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.
– Mukherjee Estate Pvt. Ltd. v. CIT [2000] 244 ITR 1 (Cal.)
It will be assessed under income from other sources.
