Vacancy period is the period during which the property was ready to be let
out, but could not be let out.
Computation of GAV of Vacant Property
Gross Annual Value (GAV) of a property which remained vacant will be computed as
follows :
1.Compute the GAV considering as if the property is not vacant at any time
during the year. For ease of understanding we can name this amount as GAV
before vacancy.
2. Deduct the rent pertaining to vacancy period from the GAV computed as
above, i.e., gross annual value before vacancy.
In other words, to derive at GAV of property which remained vacant during the
year, we have to deduct the rent pertaining to vacancy period from the GAV
before vacancy computed in previous step.
Note: It should be noted that, if the property remained vacant throughout the previous
year, then gross annual value of such property shall be taken as nil.

(*) Gross annual value in case of property C will be nil since the property
remained vacant throughout the previous year.
Note 1: Amount at Step 1 (i.e. Reasonable expected rent) is higher of
municipal value or fair rent (subject to standard rent).
Note 2: Amount at Step 2 is actual rent after deducting unrealised rent, i.e.,
Rs.8,00,000 (Rs.9,60,000 - Rs.1,60,000) in case of property A and Rs.60,000(Rs.60,000 - NIL) in case of property B.
Note 3: Amount at Step 3 (Gross annual value before vacancy) is higher of
amount at Step 1 or Step 2; this will become gross annual value before vacancy,
i.e., Rs.8,48,484 and Rs.60,000 for property A and B, respectively.
Note 4: Amount at Step 4 (Gross annual value) is arrived at after deducting
loss due to vacancy from amount at Step 3 (i.e. Step 3 loss due to vacancy)
i.e. Rs.8,48,484 Rs.80,000 = Rs.7,68,484 in case of property A and Rs.60,000
Rs.5,000 = Rs.55,000 in case of property B.

Slide 20
Points to Remember
Next step after computation of GAV is to compute the Net annual value
(NAV).
Net annual value = Gross annual value - Municipal taxes
Following points should be kept in mind while claiming deduction on
account of municipal taxes :
Municipal taxes (irrespective of the year or years to which theyrelate) are deductible only if they are actually paid by the assessee-
owner during the relevant previous year.
If Municipal Taxes are borne by the tenant, no deduction isadmissible.
No deduction can be claimed in respect of Municipal Tax payablebut not actually paid.

Section 24(a) - Standard Deduction
Deduction under section 24(a) commonly referred to as standarddeduction, will be equal to 30% of net annual value.
Deduction under section 24(a) @ 30% of net annual value isavailable, whether or not the assessee has incurred any
expenditure.
Deductions Under Section 24
To derive taxable income from house property, we
have to deduct following deductions from NAV
(i) Standard deduction under section 24(a) and
(ii) Interest on capital borrowed for purchase or
construction of the property under section 24(b).

Slide 22
Section 24(b) Interest on borrowed capital
Interest on capital borrowed for the purpose of purchase, construction, repair, renewal or
reconstruction is deductible under section 24(b).
Following points should be kept in mind in this regard:
Interest on capital is deductible on accrual basis (irrespective of the method of accountingfollowed by the assessee).
There is no limit on the amount of interest deductible under section 24(b) in case of let out
property. However, for self-occupied property, there is a limit of Rs.1,50,000/Rs.30,000 on the
amount of interest deductible under section 24(b) (to be discussed later).
Pre-construction period interest is allowed as deduction in five equal annual installmentscommencing from the previous year in which the house property was acquired or constructed.
Pre-construction period is the period commencing from the date of borrowing of loan and ends
on earlier of the following:
Date of repayment of loan; or 31st March immediately prior to the date of completion of the construction/acquisition ofthe property.
Interest on loan taken to repay the original loan is also allowed if the original loan was taken forthe purpose specified above.

Solution
In this case, the amount of interest admissible under section 24(b),
will be computed as follows:
Step.1 - Calculation of Pre-construction period
Pre-construction period will start from the date of borrowing (i.e. 1st
August, 2008) and will end on earlier of the following:
a) 31st March, immediately prior to the date of completion of
construction. Construction is completed on 1st January, 2013,
thus immediately prior date will be 31st March, 2012.
b) Date of repayment of loan (i.e. 28th April, 2013).
Based on above, period from 1st August, 2008 to 31st March, 2012
will become pre-construction period.

Step. 2 - Calculation of interest pertaining to pre-construction
period.
Interest on pre-construction period, i.e., 1st August, 2008 to 31st
March, 2012 will be computed as follows:
a) Interest for period of 1-8-2008 to 31-3-2009 (i.e. for period of 8
months) will be Rs.4,000 (@ 10% on Rs.60,000 for 8 months).
b) Interest for period of 1-4-2009 to 31-3-2012 will amount to
Rs.18,000 (Rs.6,000 annual interest for 3 years).
c) Total pre-construction period interest will be total of interest
computed at (a) and (b) above i.e. Rs.22,000 [Rs.4,000 (+)Rs.18,000].

Step. 3 -Amount of deduction in respect of pre-construction period
interest.
Pre-construction period interest is deductible in 5 equal installments
beginning from the year in which construction is completed.Thus, amount of pre-construction period interest, deductible in
previous year 2012-13 will be Rs.4,400 (i.e. 1/5th of Rs.22,000).
Step 4 - Calculation of post construction period interest (i.e. current
years interest).
The period of 12 months (i.e. 1-4-2012 to 31-3-2013) will beconsidered for computing current years interest.
Interest will be Rs.6,000.

Step 5 - Computation of interest deductible under section 24(b).
Interest deductible under section 24(b) will be total of 1/5th of pre-
construction period interest and interest pertaining to current year.
Thus, total deduction under section 24(b) in respect of interest willbe Rs.10,400 [Rs.4,400 (+) Rs.6,000].
Note : For easy calculation, interest is calculated on monthly basis
and not on daily basis.

Self Occupied House Property
A property which is occupied throughout the previous year by the
assessee for his residential purpose (i.e. not let out or put to use for
any other purpose) will be treated as a self-occupied property.
Computation of income for more than one self occupied house property:
If the assessee uses more than one property for his residence, then he can claimthe benefit of self occupied property (i.e. SOP benefit) only in case of any oneproperty.

Step 3: Construction of matrix.
We will create a matrix of different options. In each option, we will select
different property as SOP. The options will be as follows:
Option 1: House 1 will be treated as SOP, thus House 2 and House 3 will be
DLOP.
Option 2: House 2 will be treated as SOP, thus House 1 and House 3 will beDLOP.
Option 3: House 3 will be treated as SOP, thus House 1 and House 2 will be
DLOP.
Based on above options, the matrix will be as follows :
Step 4: Selection of the option.We will select option 2, since total income (i.e. loss) under this option is
maximum. Mr. Keshav should select House 2 as SOP and House 1 and House
3 as DLOP.

Depreciation (Contd)
Under the Income-tax Act, depreciation is available on written down
value (WDV) of the block of assets and not on the value of individualasset. Further, Income-tax Rules (i.e., Rule 5), have prescribed the
method of computing depreciation as well as the rates of
depreciation applicable to various block of assets. In other words,
depreciation under income-tax depends on three things, viz., block of
assets, written down value of the block and the rate of depreciation
prescribed under the Income-tax Rules.

Computation of Depreciation
No depreciation is available:
(a) If the WDV of the block is zero, though the block is not empty ( i.e., still there are some assets in the
block). This happens when the money received/receivable in respect of sale, etc., of one or more asset
exceeds the sum of opening WDVplus cost of assets acquired during the previous year; or
(b) If the block is empty or ceases to exist on the last day of previous year, though the WDV may not
come to zero. This happens when all the assets under the block are sold, discarded, etc.
Written down value(WDV) of the block of assets as on the first day of
previous year(block ofassets means a group of assets falling within a
class of assets comprising of tangible assets or intangible assets inrespect of which the same percentage of depreciation is prescribed) XXXXX

Slide 57
Consider
Solution
Note:-Following points should be kept in mind while computing depreciation
as per section 32:
When an asset forms part of a block, such an asset transfers its value (i.e.cost) to the WDV of the bock.
Once the assets form part of the block, for the purpose of computation ofdepreciation under section 32, the individual identity of such asset is lost
and depreciation is computed by considering the WDV of the block and
not by considering the value of individual asset.
Considering above provisions, in this case depreciation on value of plant Ais computed even though plant A is sold during the year.
