Index
Basis of Charge
The basis of charge of income under the head
‘income from house property’ is the Annual Value of
the property. Annual Value is inherent capacity of the
property to earn an income. It is the amount for which
the property might reasonably be expected to let
from year to year.
Income from house property is charged to tax on

Notional Basis, as generally tax is not on receipt of
income but on the inherent potential of the house
property to generate income.

Conditions to be Satisfied
1. The property must consist of buildings or lands
appurtenant to such buildings.
2. The assessee must be the owner of such house
property.
3. The property should not be used by the owner
thereof for the purpose of any business or
profession carried on by him, the profits of which
are chargeable to tax.

Computation of Gross Annual Value
(GAV)
Step 1 : Calculate Expected Rent as follows:-
Particulars Amount Amount
(a) Fair Rent of the House xxx
(b) Municipal Value of House xxx
(c) Whichever is more of (a) and (b) XXX
(d) Standard Rent xxx
Expected Rent [whichever is less of (c) and (d)] XXX

Contd…
Step 2 : Compare Expected Rent & Actual Rent
Receivable (ARR).
Where the property or any part thereof is let out,
 If ARR is more than ER referred to in Step 1, then, GAV
= ARR
 If ARR is less than ER and it is due the vacancy of
property then, GAV = ARR
 If ARR is less than ER not owing to vacancy GAV = ER
Note: ARR = Rent Received / Receivable less

Unrealized Rent

Net Annual Value (NAV)
Net Annual Value is the sum computed after

deducting from Gross Annual Value, the taxes
levied by any local authority in respect of the
property.
NAV = GAV – Municipal Taxes Paid

Meaning
1. Municipal Valuation :- For collecting municipal taxes,
local authorities make a periodical survey of all
building in their jurisdiction. Such valuation may be
taken as strong evidence representing the earning
capacity of a building.
2. Fair Rent of the Property :- Fair rent of the property
can be determined on the basis of a rent fetched by a
similar property in the same or similar locality.
3. Standard Rent :- Standard rent is the maximum rent
which a person can legally recover from his tenant
under a Rent Control Act.

Self-occupied Property [Sec. 23(2)]
Property is considered to be self – occupied where,

 the property consisting of house or part thereof is in
the occupation of the owner for the purposes of his
own residence;
or
 such property cannot actually be occupied by the
owner by reason of the fact that owing to his
employment, business or profession carried on at
any other place, he has to reside at that other place
in a building not belonging to him.
Contd…
In case of Self-occupied House Property Net

Annual Value is always Zero.
Since NAV is zero, the municipal taxes paid by
the owner of the house are not deductible.

Deduction Admissible u/s 24
i. Statutory deduction :- 30% of Annual Value (i.e.

30% of NAV)
ii.Interest payable on capital borrowed for

acquisition, construction, repair, renewal or
reconstruction of house property :- Actual amount
of interest for the year on accrual basis plus 1/5th
of the interest, if any, pertaining to the pre-
acquisition or pre-construction period.

Deduction for Interest on
Capital Borrowed in case of SOP
Maximum limit of deduction in respect of interest on

capital borrowed in case of a Self-occupied property
whose annual value is assessed at NIL, is Rs. 1,50,000
MAXIMUM
CASE DEDUCTION
Interest on capital borrowed on

or after 1-4-1999 for acquisition 1,50,000
or construction of house
In any other case 30,000
