I live in heavy deposit(lease) of 10L for 3years which would be returned to me after 3 years without deducting anything and the landlord pays everything including maintenance. When declaring investment proof do I have to declare it as rent or I should not declare anything?

if it should be declared as rent, how should I calculate it?

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a heavy deposit arrangement, where a large sum is paid upfront for a 3-year lease and the landlord covers all costs, should be declared as rent for investment proof. The user seeks clarification on how to calculate and declare this if it's considered a rental income, given the deposit is fully refundable.

When you live in a property on a heavy deposit basis, it is considered as a form of rental arrangement. The heavy deposit is essentially a security deposit for the rental property, which is returned to you at the end of the tenancy period.
