I am claiming housing loan principal deduction under Sec 80C for income tax. I want to buy one more house. Can I claim housing loan principal on two houses for IT exemption? If yes, what is the maximum deduction allowed for both interest and principal payment?

yes you can claim for both the houses provided.
1. they should be in difference cities or 2. out of 2 one should be in your citi (where you work) and another should in other citi.
Miximum to claim priciple is 1 lac, i.e. u/s 80 C.
this is what employer can give you exemption.
if you want to claim saparately you can claim for maximum houses against which you will not get your principle exempted but your whole interest components alongwith Standered deducted and expenses like municiple tax payment etc.
