An individual sets up a budget Hotel in Dehradun (Uttarakhand) in a building previously used for residential purposes by the individual. The building is ancestral, previously in the name of his father in municipal records, which he got transferred in his name in Jan 2005. Hotel Licence taken in May 2005 and the hotel is started in April 2006 after some renovation to the building. The value of old building is taken in his books through capital introduction which is more than the cost of renovation.
Kindly guide me whether he can avail deduction u/c 80 -IC (schedule fourteenth part C subclass under NIC classification 1998 - 55101)
