See the provisions of section 24(1)(ix) of the Income Tax Act, which suggests that property eligible for vacancy allowance must be remain vacant for part of the year. Means thereby, if the property is vacant for the whole of the year, the benefit of vacancy allowance would not be allowed. There is difference if he occupies that property for own use (self occupied property) for part of the year.
