As per section 23(3) of the income tax Act, 1961,
(a) If a single unit of a property is self-occupied for part of the year and let-out for the
remaining part of the year, then the Expecred Rent(ER) for the whole year shall be taken into account for determining the GAV. Expected rent shall be higher of Municipal value and fair rent,restricted to standard rent.
(b) The ER for the whole year shall be compared with the actual rent for the let out
period and whichever is higher shall be adopted as the GAV.
(c) However, municipal tax for the whole year is allowed as deduction provided it is paid
by the owner during the previous year.

Applying the above provisions in your Case I, The Expected Rent would be 180,000 and Actual rent is 140,000, therefore, GAV shall be 180,000,from that we will deduct municipal taxes of 6000,we will get 174,000. The same shall be considered as NAV and from that we will deduct standard deduction u/s 24 @ 30% and interst of borrowing of 30,000 ( since the loan is taken on or before 1999), there income from house property shall come to 91,800.

In Case II, The GAV shall be 190,000, NAV - 184,000, In one from House property -98,800.
