subletting means to again let out the leased property to another person (2nd tenant) in return of a monthly rent however this is possible only if legal agreement exist between the landlord & 1st tenant. The 1st tenant cannot himself give away the property on rent to any third party else the landlord can evict you from the property. **Taxation of Subletting :** Rental income in the hands of landlord ( or say owner) from 1st tenant is charged to tax under the head “Income from house property”. However rental income received by 1st tenant from sub-letting it to 2nd tenant is taxable under the head “Income from other sources” or profits and gains from business or profession, as the case may be. **Disclosure of Subletting Income in books of Account** : Income from subletting needs to be disclosed in books of account of company if it is out of proper agreements.

Subletting means leasing out of property by original lessee to another person. Yes, sub letting is legal if original lease agreement provides a clause wherein lessee is allowed to sub let. Yes, these subletting can be shown in books of accounts of company provided it is supported by proper agreements.
