He is eligible in two ways
1. if let out the second house:
than entire amount of interest paid can be claimed u/s 24 and upto 150000 can claim u/s 80c as principal repaid.
2. if second house is self occupied:
than interest paid can be claimed u/s 24 maximum INR 150000/- and upto 150000 can claim u/s 80c as principal repaid.
sir my question is, can one get the benefit of housing loan under 80 C and interest payment second time if one has already availed it once
As far as I know, for second house property no deduction is available for repayment towards the principal portion of housing loan under section 80C.
Interest u/s 24 (b) can be claimed for second house as mentioned by tax pandit but deduction u/s 80 C is not available for the second house. Assessee has the option to opt one house as self occupied and other house will be treated as deemed let out ( if not actually let out) so
1. If assessee opts second house as self occupied then interest upto 150000 p.a. can be claimed.
2. If second house is let out or deemed let out then entire interest can be claimed.

we can claim benefit u/s 80C for repayment of principal portion of loan for second house also.

(c) repayment of the amount borrowed by the assessee....
