12 March 2012 Factory building- not a taxable asset since used for commercial purpose.
Bank balance- not a taxable asset as per sec. 2
Unaccounted cash balance- Rs. 650000/- taxable fully.
Silver ware- Rs. 9400000/- fully taxable (assuming they are not stock in trade)
Gold ornametns- Rs. 9600000/- fully taxable
Motor cars- 1500000/- fully taxable
Guest house in london- 800000/- fully taxable

Loan by mortgaging building- not allowed since the loan was taken by mortgaging property and aslo the asset not included in taxable wealth deduction will not be available.

So taxalbe assets: (650000+9400000+9600000+1500000+800000) = 2,19,50,000/-
net taxable wealth after basic exemption of Rs. 30,00,000/- = 1,89,50,000/-
Wealth tax @ 1% = 189500/-
