What would be the wealth tax impact..?One house can be shown as self occupied and can the new one been shown at value less loan i.e. no tax? Further can the new house be shown as given on rent for claiming entire interest on loan (around 6 lacs annual). Then how the property under wealth tax should be shown?

1]. As the property is registered in the name of yoru spouse, so you cant claim the deduction u/s 24(b) as only the person who is the owner of the Hp can claim the dedcutions.  Even if the  husband is paying the loan as he is not the owner he cant claim the deductino.

2]. you ahve not mentioned in whose name the bungalow.
