28 March 2009 While computing Income from House Property, Property Tax actually PAID can be claimed as expenditure.

Standard Deduction calculated at 30 percent of annual value can also be claimed irrespective of whether any expenditure is actually incurred or not.

In view of allowing Standard Deduction, statute does not allow any seperate deduction for Maintenance
