Thank you for sharing the details about the houses registered under your father's name and the occupancy arrangements. I can provide you with some information regarding the rental income and its treatment for tax purposes.
In the scenario you described, where one house is occupied by your father, one house is occupied by your grandmother, and the third house is rented out, the tax implications can be as follows:
-
House occupied by your father: This would be considered a self-occupied property, and no rental income needs to be shown for this house.
-
House occupied by your grandmother: If your grandmother is a dependent and not earning any income, this house can also be considered self-occupied. In such cases, no rental income needs to be shown for the house where your grandmother resides.
-
House given on rent: The house that is rented out will generate rental income, and it is necessary to show this income while filing the tax returns. The rental income will be subject to tax as per the applicable tax slab after deducting any allowable expenses related to the property, such as property taxes, maintenance costs, or home loan interest.
It's important to note that tax laws and regulations can vary, so it's advisable to consult with a qualified tax professional or chartered accountant who can provide personalized advice based on the specific details of your situation and the prevailing tax laws in your jurisdiction.
