Carrying on professional activities from residential premises
Arunkumar Mehta
(Querist) 10 March 2008
This query is : Resolved
Whether a C.A. using computers can carry out his professional activities from residential premises. Whether BMC or Electric utility can levy commercial taxes and whether society can object to such user. I belief that there is supreme Court judgement on this point that professional carrying out professional activities from residence is not commercial activities. Give citation of the s.c. judgement.

Dear Mr. Mehta,
The issue is still pending before the S.C. for giving due consideration over the issue, so it will be decided by the court and we can not give any opinion regarding the same.
