The assessee had appealed against the order passed by the CIT(A) confirming the addition of deemed rent on unsold flats shown as stock in trade.
The assessee was a Builder which declared five flats in its closing stock. The Assessing Officer (AO) applying the provisions of section 23 of the Income tax Act, 1961 (the Act), computed the notional income under the head `Income from house property’ at the rate of Rs. 4,000/- per month per flat.
No relief was allowed to the assessee in the first appeal
The Tribunal following its earlier judgment held that no rental income can be computed when flats are held as stock in trade. Accordingly the impugned order was reversed and Assessing Officer (AO) was directed to delete the addition.
