Whether Municipal Tax paid in advance can be claimed as a deduction from Gross Annual Value for a let out property?

15 April 2009 as per the provision
muncipal tax LEVIED ( i.e. actually accrues to assessee and not paid in advance) and paid( i.e. actually paid not remaining outstanding) by owner( i.e. not by tenant or any other person) is deductible from GAV.

So , Muncipal tax paid in advance is not deductible.

If muncipal tax > GAV, then
GAv will be negative and income from house property will come negative(loss).
but remember in case Muncipal tax > GAV, you can not claim standard deduction u/s 24(a)
