The compensation paid to the tenant is in the nature of capital. It will form part of cost of acquisiton of the property. loss cannot be claimed.

Municipal Tax, 30% flat deduction on the net annual rent and Interest on borrowed capital only else are expressely provided for Deduction from House Property Income.
30% flat deduction is intended to take care of Repairs & Maintenance and Collection or Recovery expenses and Depreciation etc.
Compensation Payment of Rs 1.50 lacs assumes the nature of 'application' of income similar to Notice period pay.
I am afraid, it is not possible to claim Deduction
