Question and options
An owner occupies his whole building as the office of his own business, whose profits are taxable, and lets no part of it. The building could be let for ₹1,20,000 a year, and he pays ₹10,000 of municipal taxes. What is his income from house property from the building?
₹84,000
Nil
₹1,10,000
₹77,000
Answer and explanation
Section 20(2) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 excludes from the house-property charge any part of a property the assessee occupies for his own business or profession whose profits are chargeable to tax. The annual value is therefore not computed at all; ₹77,000 would be the result only if the building were let (₹1,20,000 less ₹10,000, less 30%).
