Read this, hope it helps.

Moreover, if you are living in this property, then you can either avail HRA benefit or Home loan benefit as part of Sec 80c. As part of Sec 24, you may avail upto maximum of 1.5 Lac deduction.

In case you rent-out this property to someone else, then the upper limit of 1.5 Lacs vanishes !! But then you need to add rental income to your income for that year and deduct the interest paid on home loan + 30% of the annual rent you earned as part of fixed expenditure.

Cheers,

Yes, specifically the rule is exactly that. For your internal support take the loan repayment certificate from the bank. This will carry the bifurcation of principal repayment as well as interest payment during the financial year. Claim the principal under 80C & interest upto 150000/- under section 24.
