It is assumend that the Property is vacant for the part year. Where the let out Property is vacant for part of the year, then the actual rent is lower than ALV, then the actual rent received or receivable will be the Gross Annual Value of the Property.
For Eg: If the monthly rent is Rs. 5000, then the annual value of the Property will be Rs. 60000, but if it is vacant for 3 months, then the rent received / receivable will be Rs. Rs. 45000. Municiapl Tax paid Rs. 2000.
Therefore,
GAV 45000
Less : Municipal Taxes 2000
Net Annual value 43000
Less : Stanadard Deduction @ 30% as per sec 24 12900
(30% of Rs. 43000)
Income from House property 30100
Note:
