Annaul renatal value Rs.(100 x 12months) - 10% for land Annual Value for Building only Rs. 1200/- - Rs.120/- = Rs.1080/- Rs.1080/
Less 10% depriciation for the building for Repairs / Maintenance Rs. 108/-
Depriciated value of the building Rs. 1080 - 108 = Rs.972/-
Add 10% of the land Rs. 120/-
Annual Value for land and Buildings 972 + 120 = Rs. 1092/-
