Income tax attachment

Hi Kritica,

I cant recall any name of the case which can be refer to your case.But I can mention one case i.e. Janatha Textiles held The Income Tax department is well within its right to attach the defaulter’s property and put it up for auction sale to recover the dues.

Although this case dos not have similar facts with your case but from this I can conclude that a property attached under the income tax can not be rented cz it will be in the possession of IT Department till they don't recover their dues.Hence you cant rent it out!

I hope this will be helpful to you!

Hi Manish,

Thanks for your reply. But the property is attached and not in the possession of the income tax authorities. As far as I know the same cannot be sold but can be rented. The attached property is a flat and the society is objecting for renting the same.

Hi Kritica,

Agree with you.But i believe till the property is attached by department we cant have access of property.Although I did not face any such case till now,this is completely my opinion.

Specifically in your case, society or no other person can object for letting out of property except Income Tax Department.

Thanks!!!
