This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the rules for claiming self-occupied property status when you co-own properties. While you might own multiple properties, tax regulations typically allow you to claim only two as self-occupied. The conversation also touches upon determining the 'first' owner in co-owned properties, the importance of equal investment, and checking ownership percentages in agreements.

30 June 2023 I jointly owns two properties and 100 % owned 1 property , In Total 3 Properties. Can I claim all three property as self occupied because the co owner owns only two property and he claimed both the properties as self occupied. So can I claim my 100% owned property and 2 co-owned property as self occupied and because for co owner both the properties are to be self occupied.

30 June 2023 In both the co-owned properties, who is the first owner? Whether both owners have equal amount of investments? Whether there is any clause in agreements of specific percentage of ownerships?
