Hi,

Rental Income earned will fall under Income from house property, If you have taken any home loan on this property, Interest on same you can claim. under section 24, irrespective of interest amount. You will also get standard deduction @30% on Net annual value of Rental income.

Additionally you can also claim HRA as you are staying on rent house

Tax liability will be calculated on full details of salary (i.e. basic, d.a, h.r.a. traveling allowances, etc) and deduction u/sec 80C, 80G etc.

Hello Sir,

In your case, the rental income shall be charged to tax under the head Income from House Property. You shall get a flat deduction of 30% and the balance shall be subject to 30% tax.

So 63000 less 30% is 44100/- and tax on it is Rs.13627/-.

You can save taxes on Rental Income if you have a Housing loan on the same property.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call back/ get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.

The rent received by you has to be shown under the head Income from House Property, Against the same you can claim 30% Standard Deduction and Municipal Taxes paid as deduction. If your house property is in joint name or co-ownership. You could take the rent in the name of your co-owner or joint owner to save taxes.
