Further one more loan is running against another resdential property which is still under conctruction. consctruction will complete in Feb 2016.

u can claim deduction only after completion of construction not during construction of house property in 5 equal annual instalments starting from the year in which the house is purchased or the construction is completed.

For example, if construction of your property completed in FY 2015-16, on 30th July 2015, you can claim 1/5th of interest paid uptil 31st March 2015 when you file your return for FY 2015-16.
