As per section 5(vi) of the WTA,1957 wealth tax shall not be payable on any one house or part of a house or a plot of land belonging to an individual or a Hindu undivided family. This exemption is available irrespective of the valuation. The 500 Sq Mtr restriction is applicable only for an asset being a plot of land. In your case, since its a residential house the proviso to s.5(vi) is again not applicable and in my opinion you could very well claim exemption..
I agree with Shri DARSHAN JAIN, one residential house in case of individual and HUF is fully exempt. Regarding correct section/ subsection etc. please see latest WT Act on this website to reconfirm and recheck.
