I filled the correct particulars but getting warning of something that is not clear in House rent

Hi, I am getting monthly rent from my let out property to which I am paying the local tax. I have calculated the income, less tax paid , and 30% of the annual value, and arrived at some amount. I have given this in the house income fields.

But i got an alert that the income chargeable under house rent is more than....something, The alert I got only once and once I clicked it has gone. Again, at the end of the filling of house income, I got one more alert and it has also gone once I okayed.

I am getting house rent of 8000 per month and I paid tax for the year concerned and also some for the previous years in the year 2022 totaling to 14000 Rs.

Should I show only the tax paid to the current year Ie, for the financial year 2022-23 ? and claim the previous years in some other forms or could i show the total in the same year

please clarfiy , as normally you pay only this years taxes and not arrears of taxes.

I remember about section 89 and I do not know if that is to be used

Quick Summary
A user is seeking clarification on how to report house rent income and claim deductions for local taxes paid. They are unsure whether to include only the current year's municipal taxes or previous years' arrears, and if water tax can be claimed. The user also mentions receiving unclear alerts during the filing process and is looking for guidance on using Section 89. They found a helpful article that suggests excluding outstanding taxes when claiming deductions.

To make my query clear,

Can one claim the water tax, that is levied by the local authorities under the Taxes Paid ?

Secondly, Is the property tax due for that year alone has to be claimed or can I add the total taxes paid during that year, which may be inclusive of previous years local bodies revision dues .

I need the advice, as I am going to file the income tax for the assessment year 2023-224

Nobody seem to give reply to my query. Normally this do not happen in this forum. All the websites do not have clear cut explanation, except, a word municipal taxes paid.

But interestingly, I have just searched forum, and I got a useful article, which helped me in knowing the details I queried.

Thanks to the author of the article.
