Calculate the Gross annual value based on the valuation under Income from House property and deduct the Municipal taxes paid and Standard deduction and Interest on housing loan (fully because Let out property) balance is Income or loss from House property

Perfect! Thanks!
Just trying to understand a little more....
Less: Deduction u/s 24(a) @ 30% 150,000 (Is this common for all assessees irrespective of loan amt?)
Deduction on borrowed capital u/s 24(b) 240,000 (Is there any limit of interest amt under this sec)

My answer was perfectly incorrect.
I had replied taking into account that rent received was Rs. 5L p. a. and not Rs. 5k p. m.
Now the reply has been modified suitably.
Also as Ramesh has pointed out the actual rent being received is a meager sum of Rs. 60,000/- as against interest payment of Rs. 240,000/-.
So u will have to find out the municipal valuation i. e. the rateable value of rent for the property and the higher of both will be liable to tax as rent income. However the same will be restricted to the standard rent as computed by the rent control act of state of residence.
