11 December 2009 As far as my knwoledge and reference to the section 24 is concerned, we can not claim interest of old property against any new property. But the practical solution is that you should sale old property alongwith that interest cost, means interest cost to be made part of cost of acquisition, so that benefit can be claimed.
