Monthly Maintenance charges in Flats

804 views 7 replies
in respect of Flat rented out, the Tenant is paying the monthly Maintenance charges to RWA. But the RWA is issuing the receipt in the name of Flat owner instead of Tenant who is paying the amount. Is it correct practice? What are the income tax implications for Owner & Tenant?

Yes,

Owner has to consider it as part of rent income.

Yes I agreed 👍.
Monthly maintainance charges to rwa
If the receipt for monthly maintenance payment is issued in the name of Tenant ( who pays the same to RWA) what will be the tax implications for Owner?

RWA cannot change the name of the owner. It is just who pays / for on behalf of / are recorded in the receipt.  That doesn't change its status.

Thank you very much Rambhia ji.

You are welcome.
