Dear Sir, In a querry raised by maria just today regarding interest on two H/L , out of which one house will be self occupied and the other rented, why interest of only 150000 will be allowed. I think that in case of self occupied house, the individual can claim max H/L interest of Rs 150000 and in case of house which is let out , the amount of interest which accrues will be allowed.So I think the individual can claim the benefit of interest on both the H/ Loans. Yes principal repayment will be restricted to Rs 100000 u/s 80C. Sir please clarify whether I am right or wrong.

Dear Shalini You are right but only thing is that annual value will be taken as nill only for self occupied property and for ohter house it should be rented houseotherwise fair rental value will be taken as annual rental value.
