20 April 2012 As for Section 24 deduction, on your self occupied house you can take advantage of interest payments up to Rs.1,50,000. For the other property, you can claim actual interest repaid, there is no limit for the same.

Please remember that the second house will be deemed have rental income and interest will be adjusted against that.
