Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how income from house property is taxed, specifically addressing why tax is calculated on expected rent even if it's not fully realised. The rule is that the taxable value is based on the higher of the expected rent or the actual rent receivable. This prevents income suppression. The discussion also notes that rent not received due to vacancy in a financial year is not subject to tax.

Adjust in loss due to vacancy or unrealised rent
A house in the same locality would fetch a rent higher (expected rent) than what the assessee has declared ( actual rent) . A prudent man wouldn't receive rent lower when a higher one can be received. If it happens so, it might be because assessee is suppressing his income by way of not being prudent. To avoid this, the taxable value ( gross annual value) is expected rent or actual rent whichever is higher
If the house is vacant for few months in a FY then annual rent need not be declared which is unrealised due to vacancy
