1. Used for own residential purpose.

2.Idle and even not given on rent and it is locked for whole year (purchased for price appreciation purpose)

Yes.

One of the house property would be considered as “deemed let out” based on

Assessee’s choice & its Annual Value would be taxable under House property income,

[even if it is locked & not rented for the whole year],

this is becoz...

what is Taxable under House Property Income is not the “Rent Income”

but the “Annual Value” of the House Property.

I too agree with Mr. Sunil but would like to add one more point that you should choose the House showing lesser HP income.
