20 June 2013 No. here as per query lease has been taken in the name of employee`s wife and cheque also given to employee`s wife name, so it is income from HP for employee`s wife not employee`s income

20 June 2013 Thank you for your reply sir. As per the Organisation policy in the case of Self lease 70% of the Actual rent will be treated as Income from house property of the employee. In that case if the rent is paid to the Employee Wife, what are the tax compliances...?
