Deduction for interest for the FY 2011-12 would be Rs. 55,000/-.
Explanation: Sencond loan is for reconstruction (as you said loan for the same house), hence higher deduction of Rs. 150,000 can not be claimed. (Refer circular no. 8/2007 dated 05/12/2007 First loan has been taken before 01/04/1999, hence maximum Rs. 30,000 would be admissible as interest u/s 24.
