1. You are eligible for deduction of interest amount u/s 24(b). The full amount will be allowed as deduction as the house is deemed to be let out. The limit of Rs. 1.5 lakhs is NOT applicable in this case.
2. The principal repayment shall be allowed as deduction u/s 80C subject to the limit of Rs. 1 lakh.
