Real Estate Developers - House property held as stock in trade – No Notional income (Section 23(5)) –Budget 2017



Section 23 of the Act provides for the manner of determination of annual value of house property.

Considering the business exigencies in case of real estate developers , it is proposed to amend the said section so as to provide that where the house property consisting of any building and land appurtenant thereto is held as stock-in-trade and the property or any part of the property is not let during the whole or any part of the previous year, the annual value of such property or part of the property, for the period upto one year from the end of the financial year in which the certificate of completion of construction of the property is obtained from the competent authority, shall be taken to be nil.

New subsection (5) under section 23 is proposed to be inserted.

The amendment will be effective from the previous year 2017-18 and subsequent years.
