🏠 How to Calculate Taxable House Rent Income in India?

If you earn rent from a house, flat, shop, or any other property in India, the Income Tax Act classifies it under Income from House Property. Understanding how this income is calculated helps you plan better, avoid surprises, and make the most of available deductions. Let’s break it down in a simple, practical way.

🔍 Step 1: Determine the Gross Annual Value (GAV)

The Gross Annual Value is essentially the reasonable expected rent from your property. For most taxpayers, this is simply: - Actual rent received or receivable for the year However, if the municipal value or fair rent is higher, the tax rules may require using the higher figure. This is the basis on which rental income is computed.

🧾 Step 2: Subtract Municipal Taxes Paid

Municipal taxes (property tax) actually paid during the year are fully deductible from GAV. Net Annual Value (NAV) = GAV – Municipal Taxes Paid

🛠 Step 3: Apply Standard Deduction (30%)

The Income Tax Act allows a flat 30% deduction on NAV for repairs and maintenance — regardless of your actual expenses. This is automatic and requires no bills or proof.

🏦 Step 4: Deduct Home Loan Interest (Section 24)

If you have a home loan on the rented property, the entire interest amount is deductible under Section 24(b). There is no upper limit for let‑out properties.

📌 Final Formula

Here’s the complete calculation in one place: 
        Taxable Rental Income =
        (Gross Annual Value – Municipal Taxes Paid)
        – 30% Standard Deduction
        – Interest on Home Loan (if any)
The resulting figure is added to your total income and taxed as per your slab.
