• Query on House Property Schedule of ITR2

I am an NRI and I have a question on the House Property Schedule of ITR2. I have two properties (flats) in India, one of which is rented-out and the other one is self-occupied (with my parents residing in it). I have already put the details of my let-out property with its rental income in the House Property (HP) Schedule of ITR2 but have a couple of questions on self-occupied property:
1) Is it also mandatory to put the details of my self-occupied property in the House Property (HP) Schedule of ITR2, even though I have zero income from it? 
2) I believe a self-owned property shall always have no income generated from it and so I don’t understand in which cases is it required to put the details of the self-occupied property in the House Property Schedule of ITR2?
Asked 3 years ago in Income Tax

Hi Sir/Mam,

1) There is no requirement to fill the details of self owned property in ITR.

2) you are right, a self occupied house property always has zero income but it is filled generally in those cases where we have loan running on that house property so that we can claim deduction of interest under section 24 of Income Tax Act,1956 and the loss arising from that house property will then be set off from the income from any other source.

Hope you like the consultation

Hello,

 

1. Not mandatory.

2. Cases, when you have interest deduction to be claimed under the house property head, and when an assessee has more than two self-occupied properties where the remaining houses are to be declared as deemed let out for Income tax purposes.

I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.

1) Yes you have to disclose self occupied property. The annual value will be taken as zero hence no income will be taxable.

This is the requirement as per Income Tax act. Act mentions that the value of property is to be reported as NIL.

Hi

 

Yes, you need to disclose the details of the self occupied property as well. Although there would be no income under this property, but disclosure needs to be made.
