In view of this, Ld. CIT(A) has rightly held that income from warehouse has to be assessed under the head income from house property not under the head income from business and profession. The computation made by AO under the head income from house property determining the net loss of ₹ 1,51,524/- was, therefore, rightly upheld and confirmed by Ld. CIT(A), which does not need any interference on my part, hence, I uphold the action of the Ld. CIT(A) on the issue in dispute and reject the grounds raised by the Assessee. - ITA No. .....

CIT(A) and stated he has passed a well reasoned order, which does not need any interference on our part. 5. I have heard both the parties and perused the records especially the impugned order. I note that AO has discussed the facts in detail and the relevant clauses of the lease deed and also mentioned that the said warehouse was already rented to present tenant (Tupperware) by earlier owner from whom assessee has purchased this building in this year.

It has been further held by Hon'ble Court that merely because there is an entry in the objects clause of the business showing a particular object that would not be the determinative factor to arrive at a conclusion that the income is to be treated as income from business. In the case of the assesseee, after purchasing the warehouse from earlier owner, it has become the sole owner of the property. Though the ownership has been changed on record but the nature of usage of the warehouse remains the same. Before purchasing the warehouse by assessee, the earlier owner was receiving the income from warehouse as rental income and after change of ownership, the nature of payments made by occupie .....
