net wealth computation

This query is : Resolved 

03 March 2010 whether an apartment which is under the possession of the assessee is considered for net wealth when further investment is made on that asset for renovation and repairs? if it is considered what is the position of such asset for net wealth taxation?
please give the source for further reference

04 March 2010 Nilesh Shah Writes:'

House is included in the definition of assets under section 2(ea) of the Wealth Tax Act.

However one house or a part of the house is exempted from payment of wealth tax under section 5(vi) of the Act.

Therefore the appartment in your case, if that be the only appartment owned by the assessee, will be exempt.

Consequently expenditure on renovation of that only house will also be exempt.

Sincerely,

Nilesh Shah
