since the house is not given for rent for the FY 2018-19,can I take the Mtce amount paid as exemption for tax apart from municipal taxes paid while calculating Income from house on rent purpose?
since no rent received for the last FY,the calculation amt will come as loss only under the head "income from house ".is it correct?
