Definition of "annual value".
64. For the purposes of this Chapter, "annual value" means-

(b) in the case of a building or land not assessed under clause (a), the gross annual rent for which such building (exclusive of furniture or machinery therein) or such land is actually let or, where the building or land is not let or in the opinion of the Board is let for a sum less than its fair letting value, might reasonably be expected to let from year to year:
 
 
Provided that, where the annual value of any building is by reason of exceptional circumstances, in the opinion of the Board, excessive if calculated in the aforesaid manner, the Board may fix the annual value at any less amount which appears to it to be just.
