No,
Expenditure on maintenance of building will not be included in the national income as it is a part of intermediate consumption expenditure.
Explanation:-
The cost of expenditure on maintenance of the building is included in the final productive services derived from the building.
The national income only counts the value of final goods and services.
Thus adding the expenditure on maintenance of the building will lead to double counting.
