On the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the Assessee submits that the income (Loss) is to be computed under the head Income from House Property". 3. The Department has taken the following sole ground of appeal:- "On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the ld. CIT(A) erred in allowing carry forward of losses u/s 71B of the I.T. Act without appreciating the fact that the ld.
