12 August 2012 As per the case of CIT V VIDYA PRAKASH TALWAR (1981) 132 ITR 661 (DEL).... it was held that while analysing the meaning of house property, emphasis should not be on the type of property, but, on the head under which the rental income is assessed.

And as the income of farm house is taxable under head house property, therefore it should be considered as a house property.
