110 ITD 158 · 2008 · ITAT

377 ITR 165 · 2015 · High Court
38

Rental income from unsold property held by a real-estate developer is assessable under the head 'Income from House Property' and not as 'Business Income'. The treatment in books of account as stock-in-trade does not alter the income's character for tax purposes.
