Division of House Property:** The house property is divided into two parts: - **Self-occupied portion:** 1/3rd of the house property. - **Let-out portion:** 2/3rd of the house property, used for commercial purposes. <br> **2. Let-out Portion (2/3rd):** - **Actual Rent received/receivable:** `12,000` per month. For the full year: `12,000 \times 12 = 1,44,000`. - **Fair Rent (given for the let-out portion only):** `30,000` per month. For the full year: `30,000 \times 12 = 3,60,000`. - **Municipal Value (for the entire property):** `2,40,000`. For the let-out portion (2/3rd): `2,40,000 \times 2/3 = 1,60,000`. - **Standard Rent (for the entire property):** `3,00,000`. For the let-out portion (2/3rd): `3,00,000 \times 2/3 = 2,00,000`. - **Expected Rent:** Higher of Municipal Value (`1,60,000`) and Fair Rent (`3,60,000`), but restricted to Standard Rent (`2,00,000`). Expected Rent = `2,00,000`. - **Gross Annual Value (GAV):** Higher of Expected Rent (`2,00,000`) and Actual Rent Received/Receivable (`1,44,000`). GAV = `2,00,000`. - **Municipal Taxes paid by Ms. Prerna on 30th July, 2023:** Municipal taxes are 10% of municipal valuation. Total MV = `2,40,000`. Total Municipal Taxes = 10% of `2,40,000 = 24,000`. Municipal Taxes attributable to the let-out portion (2/3rd) = `24,000 \times 2/3 = 16,000`. - **Net Annual Value (NAV) of the let-out portion:** NAV = `GAV - Municipal Taxes paid = 2,00,000 - 16,000 = 1,84,000`. <br> **3. Self-occupied Portion (1/3rd):** - Net Annual Value (NAV) of the self-occupied portion is always **Nil** under Section 23(2). <br> **4. Total Net Annual Value (NAV) of the house property:** Total NAV = NAV of let-out portion (`1,84,000`) + NAV of self-occupied portion (`Nil`) = **` 1,84,000**. <br> Therefore, the Net Annual Value of the house property is ` 1,84,000. <br> Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
