Rental income earned from properties you own is taxed as income from house property. However, if you sub-let a property that you don’t own, the income isn’t considered house property income. It depends on how the property was sub-letted. If it was for business purposes, it would be taxed as income from business or profession. Otherwise, it will fall under income from other sources.
