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.

Yes, that would be the best option to do so, but if both properties are vacant then where does he lives?
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

He is working in Mumbai Port Trust. Company provided him accommodation.
