https://www.taxtmi.com/forum/issue?id=2563 A joint owner should be assessed only on his proportionate share of rental income; gross rent must be allocated among co-owners, with TDS credit claimed only for the taxpayer's share. There is no separate deduction for amounts paid to a co-owner; correct tax treatment is to show rental income net by allocating the gross receipts and claiming proportionate TDS. If the assessing officer includes the entire rent in one co-owner's income and denies corresponding TDS credit, the taxpayer should establish joint undivided ownership and may appeal the disallowance. en-us Wed, 29 Dec 2010 12:24:48 +0530 Thu, 23 Jan 2025 15:58:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/forum/issue?id=2563 A joint owner should be assessed only on his proportionate share of rental income; gross rent must be allocated among co-owners, with TDS credit claimed only for the taxpayer's share.
