I have a house at at my native place received in participation of joint family, the house is in village and obviously not registered in name of any one but it is owned by me, I purchased a flat in a city that is registered in my & my spouse name, I am paying approx 2,40,000/-p.a.interest on laon taken to acquire the flat. presently both houses are being occupied by me, can I show my flat as "deemed let out" and claim the all interest chargeable amount as deduction under section 24(b) of IT act. (remember that my one house is in village and not registered)if it is so please mention the caselaw/rule or section of IT act, thanks in advance.
