Dear Sir / Madam,
For the present financial year, annual income above Rs. 2,00,000/- for individuals is liable to Income Tax. If your lease income is above this limit, you become liable to pay income tax on the amount leased.
The rate of Income Tax is as prescribed by the Income Tax Act.
For Income Tax purpose, it is immaterial whether your leased flat is on loan or not.
