I own two houses. One is a farmhouse that I visit every week, and the other is my residence. Can both these residences be treated as self-occupied?

Until Assessment Year (AY) 2019-20, only one property could be claimed as self-occupied for tax purposes.

🏠 From AY 2020-21 onwards, both houses can be treated as self-occupied, provided certain conditions are met.

💼 This change offers flexibility for homeowners with multiple properties, eliminating the need to designate one as “deemed to be let-out.”

🛠 Take advantage of this opportunity to optimize your tax planning strategy with multiple properties.

💰 Understand the potential savings and implications of treating both properties as self-occupied for tax purposes.

📝 Consult with a tax advisor to ensure you meet all the necessary criteria and maximize your benefits.

🏡 Enjoy the freedom of utilizing both of your properties for personal use without payment of tax
