28 April 2012 In case the property is in your name you are
the undisputed owner of the property. You may show the property in your Balance Sheet by Crediting your Capital Account and debiting the House Property A/c.
.
You can show the income under the head Income from House Property.
You have to Follow these steps-
.
A . Gross Annual Value(GAV) :
You may compute the income by selecting higher of the two-
1. RER (Reasonable Expected Rent)
2. Actual Rent
If Fair Rent or Municipal valuation (higher of the 2 is RER) is higher than the actual rent , you have to take RER. Otherwise you may take Actual rent as
Gross Annual Value of the Property.
.
B. Net Annual value :
If Municipal Taxes are borne by you , you may deduct from GAV to arrive NAV. In case not paid by you GAV=NAV
.
C. Claiming Deductions
From NAV you can deduct 30% of NAV as Standard Deduction and interest on loan (if it is still being paid by you like your father)
.
The resultant will be Income from House Property.
.
