08 January 2013 agree with sripalji,

if you getting HRA then you can claim HRA as deduction under 10(13A) which is based on calculation that how much you can claim as HRA deduction

now turn on to, property and loan as expert said on property has to occupied and second one as let out

so interest can be taken upto 24(b) limit upto 1.5 lacs for both house and also principle amount will be gone to 80C as per limit
