It is not Self Acclaimed Property - It is Self-acquired / Self-earned property.

Section 4 of the HSA, very specifically states that classical hindu law will have no application in respect of those aspects which have been dealt with in the HSA. This Section is only a declaratory provision and it does not deal either with ancestral property or self-acquired property.

Section 6 of the HSA deals only with ancestral property and not self-acquired/self-earned property.

Sec.4 of HSA has no relevance with self acquired or ancestral property, as it makes clarification about non-applicability of any previous act prior to the introduction of the HSA 1956.

Sec.6 deals with ancestral property.

Moreover, HSA is of 1956 and not of 2005. In 2005 amendments to some sections of the original Act were issued, so that is only HS (AMENDMENT) Act 2005.
