If the amount is rent -- then it will be listed as your earning and would be calculated according to the salaried slab.

for eg: for people with earnings 1.10 lakh / year don't have any tax etc; etc;

If this amount is because of selling a property then 30% must be payed as tax.

Service Tax on Commercial Renting, has come into force with effect from 1st June 2007 vide Notification No 23/2007-Service Tax dated 22nd May 2007.
