How do I compute the Gross Annual Value (GAV) of the property which was vacant throughout the year?

In such a case, the GAV of the property shall be the annual expected rent from the property. The annual expected rent of the property shall be computed in following manner, depending on whether or not the property is governed by The Rent Control Act:

 

Does not fall under Rent Control Act

Falls under Rent Control Act

Rent as per municipal valuation (A)

Rent as per municipal valuation (A)

Fair amount of rent (B)

Fair amount of rent (B)

Expected Rent (C) = Higher of (A) or (B)

Expected Rent (C) = Higher of (A) or (B)

 

Standard Rent (D)

Gross Annual Value = Expected Rent (C)

Gross Annual Value = Higher of (C) or (D)

 

Thus, in case of a property not falling under Rent Control Act, the expected rent from a property shall be the Gross Annual Value of the property.
