28 December 2012 Only following deductions available
a) Municipal taxes paid
b) Interest on repairs, reconstructions
c) 30% of gross Annual value

if he has taken loan for the other property purchased by him for self occupation there will be a loss in that property whihc can be set off against the income from the ancestral property

if he has a business, the business loss can be set off against the income from houseproperty.
