ADD:
1/9 of Actual Rent received/ receivable for the year- if repairs are borne by tenant = XXX
Taxes in respect of the property agreed to be borne by tenant = XXX
15% of Interest on deposit received from tenant – interest recovered = XXX
Lease premium or non-refundable deposit received = XXX
No. of years of lease
Any other obligation of owner met by tenant = XXX
ANNUAL RENT = xxx
Gross Maintainable Rent shall be higher of:
ü Annual rent
ü Annual value assessed by Local Authority

Compute Net Maintainable Rent on 31st march.
Solution
All things shall be computed for a year.
Rent = 360000
Repairs = 40000
[360000/9]
Municipal taxes borne by tenant = 10000
Annual rent = 410000
Annual value assessed by local authority is Rs.500000
GMR = 500000
Less: 15% of GMR = (75000)
Less: Municipal taxes on accrual basis (whether paid by owner or tenant) = (20000)
Net Maintainable Rent = 405000
Step 3: Determination Value as per Rule 3, 4 & 5 of Schedule III
Value as per Rule 3, 4 & 5 of Schedule III shall be higher of following:
- NMR X Capitalisation factor (12.5/10/8)
- Cost of Construction + Cost of Improvement
Provided Value as per Rule 3, 4 & 5 of Schedule III shall be NMR X Capitalisation factor (12.5/10/8), if all the following conditions are fulfilled:

Example 16
Annual Rent of property = 200000
Annual value as per local authority = 220000
Municipal taxes = 3000
50% of municipal taxes are paid by tenant, rent are still unpaid.

Compute Value as per Rule 3, 4 & 5
Solution
GMR shall be higher of
Þ 200000
Þ 220000
GMR = 220000
Less: 15% of GMR = (33000)
Less: Municipal taxes on accrual basis (whether paid by owner or tenant) = (3000)
Net Maintainable Rent = 184000
Value as per Rule 3, 4 & 5 of Schedule III shall be higher of following: = 7500000
Þ 184000 X 12.5 = 2300000
Þ 7500000
Step 4: Adjustment for un-built area as per Rule 6
Value as per Rule 3, 4 & 5 of Schedule III = XXX
Add: Adjustment for un-built area = XXX

Value shall be FMV for property |
Percentage of Default = Un-built area – Specified area x 100
Aggregate area
Specified area in general terms mean permissible un-built area.
Specified area is :
- Property is at Delhi/Bombay/Calcutta/Madras – 60% aggregate area.
- Property is at specified cities – 65% aggregate area.
- Property is at other cities – 70% aggregate area.
Step 5: Adjustment for unearned increase in value of land as per Rule 7
Value as per Rule 3, 4, 5 & 6 = xxx
Less: Lower of following: = (xxx)
Þ Amount of unearned increase to be claimed by government
Þ 50% of Value as per Rule 3, 4, 5 & 6
Value for Immovable property = XXXX
‘Unearned increase’ means the difference between value of Land on valuation date as determined by government and the amount of premium paid or payable to government for the lease of land.
Example 17
Mr. X is an owner of commercial house built on a plot of 1000 sq. yards at
The plot has been taken on a lease from government. He has built up in 1975, 240sq. yards at a cost of Rs. 170000. House has been let for commercial purposes to tenant @ 1000 p.m.

Compute value of house property.
Solution
Actual Rent = 12000
Repairs = 1333
[12000/9]
Security deposit = 3000

Annual rent = 16333
Annual value assessed by local authority is Rs.9000
GMR = 16333
Less: 15% of GMR = (2450)
Less: Municipal taxes on accrual basis (whether paid by owner or tenant) = (1080)
Net Maintainable Rent = 12803
Value as per Rule 3, 4 & 5 of Schedule III shall be higher of following: = 170000

Þ 170000
Add: Adjustment of un-built are = 68000
[40% x 170000]
Workings
Unbuilt area= 1000-240 = 760
Percentage of Default =Un-built area – Specified area x 100
Aggregate area
= (760 - 60%1000) x 100 = 16%

Wilma said “I want to be fastest woman on this earth”. At 9 yrs of age against the advice of doctors she removed her support and took the first step. At the age of 13 Yrs, she entered her first race and came last, then she went for second, third, fourth and every time came way way last until a time when she ________.
