to note the following:
"...income from property let out to the employees of the sister concern by the assessee cannot be assessed as income from business and depreciation allowed on such properties, but instead should be treated as income from property under section 22 - CIT v. T.V. Sundaram Iyengar & Sons Ltd. [2004] 271 ITR 79 (Mad.)."
