Quick Summary
For the Assessment Year 2020-21 onwards, it is possible to claim two house properties as self-occupied for tax purposes. Previously, only one property could be treated as self-occupied, with any others considered deemed let-out. This change allows individuals to designate two properties as self-occupied, provided certain conditions are met. The discussion seeks clarification on these specific conditions.
From f.y.2019-20 i.e a.y.2020-21 a person can claim teo house property as self occupied properry if those both properties are not let down or income have been generated from that.
Yes, w.e.f. Assessment 2020-21, a person can claim two properties as self-occupied house properties subject to certain conditions.
Thus, from Assessment Year 2020-21 onwards only, (not in earlier years) both the houses can be treated as self-occupied properties subject to fulfilment of specified conditions.
