Clause 22 of the latest version of the New Income Tax Bill, 2025 has clarified two key laws relating to taxation of income from house property. The first clarification is regarding standard deduction of 30% from the annual value of a residential house property. The second clarification is about availability of tax deduction for pre-construction interest for home loan taken for construction of a house.

The Lok Sabha Select Committee has recommended two key amendments regarding tax deductions on income from house property. One of the key amendments proposed by the Committee is to allow a standard deduction of 30% from the gross annual value (GAV) of a house property after deducting municipal taxes. The second significant amendment they recommended is to allow a deduction of home loan interest when calculating income from rented (let-out) house properties.
