We have taken two house Loans for the same house. One at the time of Intial Stage and the another one for the purpose of Reconstruction of the same house.

Query:

Can we take the Interest on Second House Loan taken for the Reconstruction of the Same House (House for which we have already taken First House Loan) as Deduction u/s 24(b) along with the Interest of First House Loan u/s 24(b).

And In addition to this, Is the Prinicipal Amount repaid for the Second Home Loan for the same house eligible for deduction u/s 80C (We also want to take the Principal repayment of First House loan also as deduction u/s 80C). (We know that the max cap is 1,50,000)

Kindly provide your views on the above. Detailed explanation is much apprecited.

Thanks in advance. :)

Yes... I agreed to Mr Divakar...

If the house is "SELF OCCUPIED" property then You can claim interest Rs. 200000 u/s 24(b)...

In case the house is "LET OUT PROPETY" them You can claim Full value of Interest u/s 24(b)...

U can claim 2,00,000 as max deduction u/s 24b for acquisition /construction of a self occupied property,however for loan taken for reconstruction of property, max deduction is Rs.30,000.Therefore deduction = Rs2,00,000+30,000.
