ok.but suppose XYZ LIMITED let out some portion of its office building to another company,whether income from rent will be taxable under income from HP in the hands of XYZ LIMITED?

Friends, income is taxable under the head "income from house property" only if the assessee is the owner of a house property. Income from sub letting is not taxable u/s 22 but is taxable u/s 56 under the head "Income from other sources" The owner may be an individual, firm, company, co-op. society, or Aop.

Dear Shakuntala, I think in the query nowhere it is mentioned that XYZ LIMITED is not the owner of the property or that it is a case of Subletting.

My dear, i can also see that. I just gave the provision so that the queriest can understand that the change in the status of owner (from Mr. X to XYZ Ltd.) will not change chargeabiiity part of income from house property.
