How to compute income from a property, when part of the property is self-occupied and part is let-out?

Ans. A house property may consist of two or more independent units, one of which is self-occupied and the remaining are/are used for any other purpose (i.e., let-out or used for own business). Income from such property will be computed in the following manner:

a) Part/unit which is occupied by the taxpayer for his residence throughout the year will be treated as an independent property and income from such a part/unit will be computed in the manner as discussed in case of a self-occupied property.

b) Part/unit which is let out will be treated as an independent property and income from such a part/unit will be computed in the manner as discussed in case of let out property.
