Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The Judicial Member allowed the appeal for the assessment year 2005-06 in part and the appeal for the assessment year 2006-07 entirely for statistical purposes. The Assessing Officer's estimation of the Annual Letting Value was deemed unfounded, and it was directed to consider standard rent or the latest BMC valuation for determining the ALV for the relevant years, as per the order pronounced on 25th April 2012.
Issues: 1. Determination of Annual Letting Value of properties u/s.23 of the Act for A.Ys. 2005-06 & 2006-07.
Analysis: 1. The Assessing Officer (A.O.) estimated the Annual Letting Value (ALV) of two residential flats in Grant Field Jogeshwari for A.Y. 2005-06 at &8377; 60,000 per annum, rejecting the declared value of &8377; 882 per flat. The A.O. considered rent at &8377; 2,500 per month, allowing a 30% deduction u/s.24, resulting in a net value of &8377; 48,000 for the two flats on Vikroli Link Road, Mumbai.
2. For the same year, the A.O. assessed the ALV of a flat at EL-DORDO at &8377; 46,000 for four months based on actual rent received, allowing a 30% deduction u/s.24. In A.Y. 2006-07, the A.O. estimated the ALV of two flats in Green Field at &8377; 48,000, with a net ALV of &8377; 33,600 after deductions.
3. The Judicial Member found the A.O.'s estimation of ALV without basis and referred to the case of Shiela Kaushik 131 ITR 435 (SC), emphasizing the consideration of standard rent under the Rent Control Act or local authority valuation for ALV determination. The Member directed the A.O. to adopt the standard rent or latest BMC valuation as ALV for the relevant years.
4. Regarding EL-DORDO flat, the A.O. did not determine ALV u/s.23(1)(a) for A.Y. 2006-07. The Member instructed the A.O. to determine ALV based on standard rent or BMC valuation and adopt actual rent received if higher, as per sec.23(1)(b).
5. Ground no.4 for A.Y. 2005-06 was not pressed by the assessee due to the small quantum involved, leading to its dismissal. Other grounds in both appeals were of a general nature and did not require specific adjudication.
6. The appeal for A.Y. 2005-06 was partly allowed for statistical purposes, while the appeal for A.Y. 2006-07 was allowed for the same reason, as per the order pronounced on 25th April 2012.
