15 June 2010 When the property is not let out: Annual value of a property means expected rent to be receivable from house property (fair rent) or municipal value, which is high. In short your annual rentable value as determined by the competent authority could be taken as annual value.

When the property is let out: here, rent received or receivable is in excess of the sum mentioned above, then the rent so received or receivable shall be taken to be the annual value.
IF RENT RECEIVED IS LESS THAN FAIR RENT THEN FAIR RENT WILL BE TREATED AS ANNUAL VALUE.
