| Dear Mohit,
Rule 3 (1) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 provides that the value of residential accommodation provided by the employer during the previous year, shall, in case where the accommodation is provided by any other employer and where the accommodation is taken on lease or rent by the employer, be the actual amount of lease rental paid or payable by the employer or 15% of salary whichever is lower as reduced by the rent, if any, actually paid by the employee.
Thus, in light of the above it can be said the the 15% of salary in respect of each of the houses will be added. (http://incometaxindiapr.gov.in/incometaxindiacr/contents/ITRules2010/rules003.htm - Refer the following link for further information).
Hope the above suffice.
