It cannot be charged as business income b'coz its not a business
As per sec 2(13) to regard an activity as business , there must be a course of dealings , either actually continued or contemplated to be continued with a profit motive not for sport or pleasure. hence not a businee n cannot be taxed under business profession. i hope u got this point.

hi, ofcourse such income shall be taxable under IFOS and not under any other heads. A free lance pastor (church priest) income should be taxed under which head of income. He is not getting any fixed salary. There is no where employer and employee relationship He is receiving gifts form lay men. Should I charge under business and profession or Other Sources? |

Dear Trapti,
I don't know what the correct answer is, but if I have to pick one then I wanna go with ur answer just becos its explanation is quite justified.
But this has given rise to another doubt ...........:(
Say an assesee practices something like CA, CS, CWA doctor, lawyer or anything.
Now, can he contend that he does this out of passion /hobby /pleasure & profit earning is never a motive & it is just an incidental thing that happens on its own. {Say this assesee accepts whatever fee his clients pay to him just like the priest in the above example}
