Although I dont remember the name of the case , but in that case a car was displayed in the mall. The court held that-
WHEN THE ASSESSEE DISPLAYED THE CAR IN THE MALL, HE USED THE SPACE IN THE MALL. AND HENCE THE PAYMENT MADE TO THE MALL SHALL BE IN THE FORM OF RENT.
Applying the same ruling of the court in your case also, it can be said that , by displaying the hoarding in the mall, you have used the space and thus amount paid shall be in the form of rent.
