Quick Summary
If you own two properties and neither was rented out during the financial year 2019-20, you can typically treat both as self-occupied. This means their gross annual value is considered NIL for income tax purposes. This applies even if you are provided with company accommodation for work.
Where a person holds two house property and both are not actually let out for the whole or part of the year, then both the properties can be treated as self-occupied and gross annual value shall be taken to be NIL as per Section 23 of the Income Tax Act, 1961
