We know that there are 5 heads of Income under Income tax
- Income from Salaries- [Salary from job]
- Income from House Property -[Income from house like Rent]
- Profits and Gains of Business and Profession -[Business Income]
- Income from Capital Gains- [Income from sale of Assets]
- Income from Other Sources- [All other type of Income like Interest or Dividend]

Winning from Lotteries/Cross world puzles/Game Shows etc
