You can claim the same in my opinion.
It seems in the above case loan is taken to invest in bank FD which is interesting!
I'm unable to claim deduction under section 57 in ITR 1 in new income tax portal.

Help me resolve.
ITR 1 does not have a separate row to claim deduction other than family pension deduction. So you can show net of expenses as income.
If you want to show deduction separately, you can use ITR 2 as it has a separate row to show deductions from other sources.
