Yes, Principal repayment of housing loan taken from the employer public limited company, is qualified for Deduction U/s 80C.
Please Refer Section 80C(2)(xviii)(c)(8).

You can claim stamp duty in the AY 2012-13, itself , as the same is being paid for the purpose of transfer of a house property in your favour.
