Problem No.8
Computation of total income of Mr. Ashok for the A.Y.2015-16
Notes:
1. On computation of Income from house property:
a) The annual value of the house property which is used for business would not fall under the
head “Income from house property”. Therefore, the annual value of the first block is not
chargeable to tax under the head “Income from house property”. However, depreciation there
on at 10% has been claimed while computing the income from business.
b) As regards the second block, the sum for which the property may be reasonably expected to be
let is Rs.15,000 per month. The Gross Annual Value (GAV) of the block is the higher of fair rent
(i.e., Rs.15,000 p.m.) or the actual rent received (Rs.10,000 p.m.) Hence, the GAV of the
second block is Rs.1,80,000 (i.e. Rs.15,000 p.m.)
c) Under section 24(b), interest on bank loan for construction of house is deductible. However,
penal interest is not deductible. Interest due during the year in respect of the second block is
Rs.50,000 (i.e. 10% of Rs.5 lakhs), which is allowable as deduction under section 24(b).
2. On computation of Profits and gains of business or profession: Mr. Ashok can claim
depreciation @ 10% on the building used by him for business purposes. The depreciation on the
first block is Rs.50,000 (being 10% of Rs.5,00,000) and depreciation on equipments used for
business is Rs.30,000. Hence the depreciation allowable during the year is Rs.80,000.

3. On set off of business loss: As per section 72, business loss relating to discontinued business is
eligible for set off.
4. On treatment of short-term capital gains (STCG): The listed shares have been sold and
securities transaction tax is paid, hence it is taxable at 15% as per section 111A. For the purpose of
providing deduction under Chapter VI-A, the gross total income should be reduced by the STCG on
listed shares.
5. On computation of deductions under sections 80C and 80D: Deduction under section 80C can
be claimed in respect of life insurance premium paid for major son, even though he is not
dependent on the assessee. It is assumed Block 2 let out to cousin was used for residential
purpose and accordingly principal repayment was considered for deduction under section 80C.
However, deduction under section 80D cannot be claimed in respect of mediclaim premium paid for
non-dependant son. Mediclaim premium paid for self of Rs.6,000 is eligible for deduction.
