It was found that the assessee was the tenant of the said premises which has been let out to different parties. Since the assessee was not owner in view of the section 22 of the Act, therefore the income was not counted as income from house property and was taxed income from other sources and no deduction u/s.24(a) of the Act was allowed.

The appellant has furnished copies of lease agreements and rent receipts in support of its claim. On perusal of the documents placed on record, I observed that the assessee though not an owner of the property but is a deemed owner of the property in view of the provisions of section 27(iiib) r.w.s269UA(f) of the I.T.Act, 1961 as the assessee is holding the aforesaid properties on lease for a period of more than 12 years. 8.3 I also find that the judgment given by Mumbai ITAT in the case of DCIT Vs. D.B.S. Financial Services Limited strongly supports the contention of the appellant. In this case hon'ble ITAT has held that "under s.27(iib), for the purposes of ss.22 to 26 "owner of house property" is defined. The aforesaid provision stipulates that a person who acquires any rights by virtue of any transaction referred to in cl.(f) of s.269UA, shall be deemed to be the owner and accordingly the relevant income has to be taxed as income from house property. Irrespective of whether the rights have been acquired under a lease or a sub-lease, s.27(iiib) shall....
