 Steps to compute Income from House Property


a. Determining Gross Annual Value (GAV) of the property:
The gross annual value of a self-occupied property is nil, while for a let out property the gross
annual value is the rent collected for the same house property.

b. Reduction of Municipal Taxes (property tax):

When the property tax is paid it is allowed to be deducted from the gross annual value of the
property.

c. Determination of Net Annual Value (NAV):

When the property tax is deducted from the Gross Annual Value it gives the Net Annual
Value.

d. Reduction of standard Deduction @30% of Net Annual Value:

30% of the Net Annual Value is allowed to be deducted as a rebate from the NAV under
Income Tax Act. Beyond 30% no other expenses such as repair, reconstruction or painting
can be claimed as a tax relief under the Act.

e. Reduction of home loan interest:

The interest paid during the financial year on the house loan availed is to be deducted under
section 24 of the Income Tax Act.

f. Final Determination of Income from House property:

The final value that arrives is your income from house property. This is taxable at the slab
rate applicable on your income.

g. Loss from house property:

If an individual owns a self-occupied property purchased on loan, claiming a deduction on


home loan interest will result in loss as the Gross Annual Value of the house property will be
nil. This loss can be adjusted in income from other heads.
