Dear Sir,
I and my wife are both working in Mumbai. We owned two flats in joint name and are unoccupied. One in Mumbai and in Pune.
For Mumbai flat I had paid full amount by personal saving and loan.
For Pune flat my wife paid full amount be personal saving and loan.
I have question can both of us can declare respective flats as self occupied flat.

Since the property is in joint name, you cannot do so.
In case the property had been individually owned by each of you, then each of you could have claimed it as self-occupied.

Thanks Anirudh,
as per section 27(i) of income tax act.
Which says that if wife has not contributed in purchase of husbands flat then ownership is deemed to be husband for taxing purpose.
Similarly for reverse case.
then can each individual can own their flat for income tax purpose. Hence can be each individual can have own self occupied flat.
Please give your valuable opinion.
Regards
Amit

The provision in the Income Tax Act quoted by you is totally inapplicable to your fact situation.
The said provision is meant for clubbing of the income from the house property in the hands of the person who transfers. In your case, where is such a transfer? Though one person might have paid the entire consideration for the house, mere registration in joint name of the spouses would not mean there was any "transfer". It is simply purchase in the joint name. Therefore this provision is not applicable to your case.

This because the person who directs you to the CA Club is neither capable of offering any practical solution nor appears to be a practising professional!

That does not mean others who know the subject/answer should not provide answer here. If you think that income-tax or for that matter any tax matter is the exclusive domain of the CAs you are miserably wrong!

I never sought any thing from anybody. It was the querist who, probably after watching your uncharitable comments, thought to express a thanks. Never I ever feel desparate therefore the question of seeking any help hardly arises. It is all in your low grade thinking!!
I believe that surely should serve as a well deserved slap on your face!

It is A Courtesy and Decency of The Good Querist to Thank and It Can Not Be Mis Lead As An Insult To Some One.It is Just Very Awkward and Very Mean.

Let it be. It is nothing but a big slap on your face, especially when you were harping that he should consult CA Club.
