Dear Abhijit,

1)(a) Under Section 80C the repayment of principal amount of laon is only eligible for deduction. It is not written anywhere that the repayment of loan for taking 2nd house is not eligible. So yes the deduction of repayment of principal amount of loan is eligible for deduction under Section 80C.

1) (b) You can claim deduction of interest payable on home loan under Section 24(b). The actual amount of interest paid on 2nd home purchased is eligible for deduction even if it exceeds Rs. 1,50,000/-

2) He has to show the rental income from his new house purchased while filing his ITR. This is written in Section 23(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961
