Tax benefit on sec 24 for two house properties

Hi

New tax rule for FY 2017-2018 put a cap of 2 Laks for "loss from house properties". This limit was newly inserted for rented properties. Same limit was there for self-occupied properties in previous years.  

So if I have two properties, one self-occupied and another one rented, and for each I pay more than 2Lakhs as interest, can I claim upto 4Lakhs ?

I checked many posts here. But could not locate an answer.  Please help
