Suppose i put my residential house on mortgage and get a loan against it and i am paying interest on such loan taken, now from such loan acquired i am purchasing another property and earning rent by giving such new acquired property to a tenant. in this case can i claim deduction of interest on loan from the rent income earned from second property by showing direct nexus between the two amounts of loan taken and amount spent on acquiring the second property?

So that interest also charged on Other source if rental income reeived from other than building
