Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of rental income earned by a tenant from sub-letting a property. While rental income from a primary residence is typically taxed under 'Income from house property', income derived from sub-letting is not. Instead, such income is generally taxable as either business income or income from other sources, depending on the specific circumstances.

Rental income in the hands of owner is charged to tax under the head “Income from house property”.
Rental income received by a tenant from sub-letting cannot be charged to tax under the head “Income from house property”. Such income is taxable under the head “Income from other sources” or profits and gains from business or profession, as the case may be.​
