I have two houses. One is self occupied. Other house is recently taken possession. Second house is still vacant as it is far away from my place. But I am declaring income from second house as notional rent to my employer and loss income from the property is being set off against my salary income. As there is a change in IT rule for f.y.2019-20 as per the budget announced on 1.2.19, can I claim the second house as second self occupied house thereby I can claim more loss income from the second house from the next fin.year. Please clarify. Thanks.
