13 November 2013 no. such interest is not deductible. Interest deduction is allowed only if such loan was taken to buy the said property.

14 November 2013 Deduction under section 24 is available for loan taken towards purchase or construction of houseproperty.Hence mortgage loan interest is no deductable under the head house property.
