Net wealth of RAJAN will b 2750000 (840000+350000+1560000)

House in delhi is used for business so, it will not include in net wealth. and in case of plot he is not owner on 31st march so, it will not include. Further, one house or urban plot of 500 sq. mt. is exempt in case of individual and HUF.

Dear Kashvi,

the gross wealth will be Rs.3504000(840000+450000+354000+1560000+300000(cash-350000-50000))

Motor car does not include car alone. it even includes van and jeep. The house is taxable because the power to revoke arises on the assessee on 14 th march itself.However, the same is exempt in the case of individual
