as per circular no. 667, dated 18-10-1993 exemptn u/s 54f is allowd....

@ Raunak Chawla  i need more clarification :::  

it is written in section 54F that  " Income from Such property shall be chargeable under head Income from house property "   

 

"section 22 provides that definition of house property as any building or land appurtenant to building  is house property "     and only plot cannot generate income from property .....hence plot cannot be be house property  or residential property .

 

and section 54F provides "condition" that Income of such residential property should be charged under head " Income of house property "
