Query regarding taxability of forfeited rent security

1200 views 3 replies

Dear All,

Please someone solve my query.

If an Assessee forfeited the security amount deposited by the tenant for his default in payment of rent, whether the amount so forfeited is taxable in hands of landlord ?

In case it is taxable, under which head it will be taxable?

Thanks in advance

                    Yes it is taxable as pre Income Tax Act & it is Taxable Under the Head Income from House Property.
