Please reply who is 100% sure...

If an assesse has two house property , one is assumed to deemed to self occupied.
Now the pertinent point is are u deriving any income from house property.
If you are earning income from both then one is assumed to be "deemed to be let out for commercial or residential purposes"
Another point is whether the same is above the threshold of income.
