Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a personal house can be considered an asset. From an accounting perspective, it's an asset if you have sole control. Financially, it's often a 'waste asset' as it doesn't generate income unless rented or sold. However, capital appreciation means it's recognised as a capital asset.

Yes. if registry is on ur own name
From accounting perspective :- yes it would be an asset if only you have control over it (there can be joint control with family members)

From a financial perspective :- it would be a waste asset because it does not give you cash inflow unless you rent it or sell it
