If there are more than one residential houses, which are in the occupation of the owner for his residential purpose, then he may exercise an option to treat any one of the houses to be selfoccupied. The other house(s) will be deemed to be let out.In this case, owner should exercise option in such a manner that his taxable income is the minimum.

If you are owner of the house then 100% interest is allowed. If you are 50% Co-owner then 50% interest is allowed and if you are not the owner or co-owner then no interest is allowed.

as exercise 1st house can take tax benefit interest upto 2lacs for SOP

2nd house can take no limit tax benefit interest (let out as per rule ) but useing for SOP

Can I distribute tax benefit 1st house for Husband
and 2nd for wife ( as Let out)
both are joint owner in both property

You can share the tax benefit as per share in the house property.

The self occupied house maximum interest is allowed is Rs 200,000/-

For the Let out property there are no limit on interest till Financial year 2016-17 after that maximum interest allowed is Rs 200,000/-
