08 November 2011 Mr. A is a Govt. Employee. He owns two houses, both purchased out of housing Loan from Bank. In one property he himself is residing and another one rented out.

My question is,

(1) Whether Mr. A can claim interest on housing loans in respect of both the properties "under loss on house property".

(2)Whether the limit of Rs.1.50 lac for interest is available separately for the both the housing loans.

(3)Whether the employer can allow the same, provided he declares the income on the house property rented out.

Please clarify.

its beter to claim house 2 full interst claim and forget the house 1 claim, as in case of rented property, there is no celiing of interest claim.
