as per section 24(b) deduction is allowed on interest payable on loan borrowed for the purpose of ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, REPAIR, RENEWAL OR RECONSTRUCTION
case- 1st loan
in the above case loan is taken AGAINST HOUSE PROPERTY , not for acquisition, construction, repair, renewal or reconstruction. so, no deduction is allowed against the house property
case- 2nd loan
in 2nd case loan is taken for construction of house property. so, he can claim deduction u/s 24 (b) only for second house if all the other conditions are fulfilled.
i guess yes as the loan taken against mea
ns the loan taken to acquire the asset
