Hi,
there are 2 things to be noted here. First,
The Capital gain on sale of old house is unclear in your question. Assuming that Rs. 1 crore is your capital gain from sale of your old house, and the purchase value of the new hous is 2 crore. the whold of Rs. 1 crore is eligible for capital gain u/s 54. Rest of the amount paid of Rs. 90 Lakhs, there is no exemption for this.
second,
The interest on borrowed capita is eligible upto Rs. 2 Lakhs if its self occoupied. If its LOP the whole of interest can be claimed as deduction in addition to the standard deduction.
Hope this clarifies your doubt
