We had taken 1st housing loan and taken yearly benefit of principal and interest under income tax.

We had sold that house and purchased new house.

During the current year financial year we have repaid fully 1st housing loan and paying regualar installment of 2nd housing loan.

Under 80 C can we take the benifit of both repayment of principal for housing loan?

Best Regards

Pallavi
