Union Budget 2024-25 (Full) + FINANCE (No.2) Bill, 2024
Section 28 of the Act specifies kinds of income that shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head ‘Profits and gains of business or profession’.
2. It has been observed that some taxpayers are reporting their rental income generated by letting out of the house property, under the head ‘Profits and gains of business or profession’ in place of the head ‘Income from house property’. Accordingly, they are reducing their tax liability substantially by showing house property income under the wrong head of income.
3. In view of the same, it is proposed to amend the section 28 of the Act so as to clarify that any income from letting out of a residential house or a part of the house by the owner shall not be chargeable under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession” and shall be chargeable under the head “Income from house property”.
4. This amendment will take effect from the 1st day of April, 2025 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to assessment year 2025-26 and subsequent assessment years.
[Clause 11]

Amendment clarifies that income from letting out a residential house or part thereof shall be chargeable under Income from House Property and not under Profits and Gains of Business or Profession, to prevent misclassification of rental receipts and tighten the tax base. of Press 'Enter' after typing page number.
