Pre-construction interest is allocated to both self-occupied(2/3rd) and let out(1/3rd) in five equal instalments from the completion of a house. A) First Unit # Self-occupied In case of self-occupied property, the annual value of house property is NIL. So tax paid in respect of self-occupied property will not be considered for a self-occupied part. Gross Annual Value of self-occupied value will be Nil. So municipal tax paid shall not be considered for the self occupied part Interest on house loan and preconstruction interest will be allowed as deduction. So loss from self-occupied portion shall be interest plus preconstruction interest(8000+4800)= 12800 B) Second Unit # let out 1/3 of House Property: Step 1: Calculation of Expected Rent Expected Rent is higher of MV and FR but restricted to SR MV is 96000, FR is 126000, SR is 108000. Therefore ER will be 108000 Step 2: Calculation of GAV: GAV is higher of ER or AR ER is 108000/3=36000 Actual Rent is 45000 Therefore GAV is 45000 Step 3: NAV=GAV-Municipal Taxes Paid for 1/3 portion =45000-3520 =41480 Step 4: NAV less Deductions under Section 24.... NAV= 41480 Less: Deduction @30%= 12444 Less; Interest= 4000 Less; preconstruction interest=2400 Step 5: Income From House Property =41480-12444-4000-2400 =22636 Total income/(Loss) from House Property(A+B)=22636-12800=9836
