UNDER SEC 22 THE CHARGING SECTION, FOR ANY BUILDING,OR LAND APPURTNENT THERE TO,THE INCOME FROM SAME IS TAXED UNDER INCOME FROM HOUSE PROPERTY. SO YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO THE DEDUCTIONS ALLOWED THEREUNDER. FIRST DEDUCT PROPERTY TAX PAID FROM ANNUAL RENT. FROM THE BALANCE DEDUCT,30% FOR STANDARD DEDUCTION. THEN DEDUCT FROM BALANCE THE INTEREST ON BORROWED MONEY. THIS IS THE NET INCOME FROM HOUSE PROPERTY CHARGEABLE TO TAX. R.V.RAO
