You have to decide which home you want to keep as self occupied and other one as let out. once you decide than interest pertaining to that category will be allowed to you. If you opt for house A is self occupied then maximum you can claim 2 lac as deduction. If you allow 2nd house to be let out then interest on it will be fully allowed as deduction without any limit subject to you show notional or actual rent income. But in no case interest for both house can be claimed

12 March 2016 Dear
Whatever is mention in that article is same explained by me in first answer to your query.

I thought you are asking for claiming interest for both house against rental income of one house. Hence I told you that you can't take interest of both house together. But you can take interest for both house considering each house under consideration. As mentioned in the article.
As I said in first answer, you have to first choose which house you want to take as SOP(Self Occupied Property) or LOP (Let Out Property) and then interest pertaining to that particular house can be claimed subject to SOP limitation. Once you done with SOP calculation take LOP calculation and interest pertaining to that particular house can be claimed fully.

Hope now all confusion is over. Still if you have any doubt do let me know I will call you and explain you in detail.

Thanks & Regards
