CIT v. Hariparsad Bhojnagarwala (2012 – Guj. HC)

Issue: Can benefit of self occupation of house property u/s 23(2) be denied to a HUF on the ground that it, being a fictional entity, cannot occupy a house property?

Decision: HC observed that singular includes plural, the word owner would include owners. This is correct that HUF or firm cannot reside in a house, but HUF comprises of members of family and family comprises of natural persons. Hence HUF cannot be said to be a fictional entity. Held that HUF is entitle to claim such benefit u/s 23((2).
