This query is : Resolved
1. Is it true one is not liable to pay income tax on rent if one owns only one house property.
2. Whose responsibility, i.e. tenant or landlord, is it to get the rent lease deed registered.

1. That is not true.
2. There is no such fixed responsibility. Unless both visit the office of registrar and get the lease deed registered it will never get registered. Further, who will suffer in case there is an unregistered deed will dictate as to who will take the interest.

Rental income is duly taxable and responsibility for the registration of leave and license is upon both parties jointly as it shall serve the interest of both, however, the expenses are to be borne by tenant.
