Hi What is the basic difference between arrears of rent as covered by sec 25B and unrealised rent reffered to in sec 25AA of income tax act Further when sec 25A is applicable and when sec 25AA.i have read both but both sounds akin Thanks in advance

I think this question has been answered already by me. 25B refers to delayed receipt of rent from existing tenant.
25AA contemplates collection of rent which was not to be on account of the refusal of the tenant to pay and subsequently accepted by him or rent that could not be realised owing to the tenant leaving the tenancy without paying, but subsequently accepted and paid.

25A is coming into operation when unrealised rent is realised and how to treat is as income when the property is continued to be owned by the assessee. 25AA is inoperation even when the assessee ceased to be owner of the property in question.

Thanks Sir But if that was the case why in Sec 25A it is given 'whether the assessee is the owner of that property in that year or not'
