n ya according to me it can be like this..:-
FRV = rs 14400
actual rent= rs 12000
whichever is higher => rs.14400
and as house was vacant for 5 mothns then actual rent for 5 months wud be rs.5000
hence amt taxable is rs.14400 - 5000 = rs.9400
correct me if m wrong..plzzzzz

Hi paras, the simple logic applies overhere is that property has remained vacant for 5 months.., so that means u have not recieved rent for those months...
Now, buddy, how can u charge such income which u have not recieved at all????

no a ctualy some teachers solved it by applying sec23(1)(a)
they take direclty FRV = rs.14400
actual rent = rs.12000 - rs.5000 = rs.7000
hence amt higher = rs.14400

Such amount is considered as LOSS DUE TO VACANCY.... which is to be deducted from the amount higher of FRV/MRV/SRV or AR.......
The solution u said, is completely incorrect,, it should be dedcuted later

no buddy thats not correct one is this
a) frv 14400
b) actual rent receivable = 7000
c) b + vacant = 7000+5000=12000
so, if a > c than ans is a i.e. 14400
& if a < c than ans is b i.e. 7000
therefor in this case 14400

Municipal valuation(a)
Fair rent (b)
Standard rent (c )
Higher of (a) and (b) subject to maximum (c)
Step-2
The reasonable expected rent has to be compared with actual rent received or receivable i.e (d) and if (d) is higher than reasonable expected rent under step 1 , then (d) becomes gross annual value under step 2 and in that case step 3 is not applicable
If (d ) is lower than reasonable expected rent under step 1 and one has to find the reasons as to why (d) is lower than reasonable expected rent like (d) is lower than reasonable expected rent only because vacancy
And in your case
FRV = Rs 14400
Municipal value nil
Higher is Rs 14400/-
Step-2
Actual rent receivable = Rs 12000 (d1)
Unrealized rent nil (d2)
And loss of rent due to vacancy is 5000 (d3)
Now d = (d1)-((d2)-(d3) ) and (d) i.e 7000 and it is not higher than step1
Rs 7000 and it is assumed that (d) is lower only because of vacancy and (d) is taken as gross annual value i.e Rs 7000/-
And in this case gross annual value is Rs 7000

HOW IS ANNUAL VALUE OF PROPERTY DETERMINED FOR THE PURPOSES OF TAXATION OF PROPERTY INCOME?
ALV = [Rent actually received or Fair Market Rent, whichever is higher] - [Vacancy Allowance related to the vacant period] - [Rent not realisable].
