If its not his own house, then it is always IFOS...

 

 

If it is his own house.... then see what the agreement is.

a) If it is to let/lease out the part or whole of the roof, it will be income from HP.

b) If the agreement provides the "rent" for just giving permission for setting up the tower, then it will be IFOS

If income is derived by rent of any house property then it must be chargeable under house properrty head as there is seperate head of income and not in B/P head. See in case of developers of buildings income fronm rent is taken in house property of the properties treated as stock-in-trade

i think this will be assumed as income from other source

Why to charge under other sources

Specify.

 It shall be charged under income from house property.

 It will be charged under Income from House Property because "Roof of building" is a part of the building itself! We are letting out the "roof" viz. the building & hence income to be charged as Income from House Property.

 Income from house property.  (Section 22 - Income tax act)

 
The annual value of property consisting of any buildings or lands appurtenant thereto of which the assessee is the owner, other than such portions of such property as he may occupyfor the purposes of any business or profession carried on by him the profits of which are chargeable to income-tax, shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head Income from house property.

According to above definition such income should be taxable under the head income from house property, there is no reason that it could be charged under IFOS.

 

 

rent income is taxable under the head "income from other sources"

if  the communication company take whole room with roof on rent than income is taxable under the head " income from house property"

Kindly go through the file attached which is High court Decision on the same issue

yes it should be chargeable income under head income from house property ...

and the assess must be the owner ..

of land and building as per charging section of house property

heu dude

it is the commercial use of roof of the building so, it is not to be accounted in the IFHP, it should be treat in IFOS

 

So, According to the judgement given by the Hon. High Court (attached by Robin) it is clear that if roof of any building is building is provided on rent to set up a mobile tower the income must be taxed under the head House Property and not unedr IFOS.

The decision further states that if roof or any part is provided for advertising then

(i). If only roof is provided for setting up hoarding etc

taxable under House Property.

(ii) Hoardings on roof are let out

under IFOS.

roof is a part of house property so it is taxable under the head  income from house property

roof is the part of house so it is treated as rent received from house & deduction allowed 30% u/s 24(a) & company should deduct tds @ 10 %
