Pricipal repayment is allowable deuction under section 80 C which has a limit of Rs 1 lac presently.
So, one can take the deduction on housing loan principal repayment max upto 1 lac only.
For intreset repayment, u can refer section 24 b of Income Tax Act.

The maximum amount of exemption for housing loan is Rs. 1 lakh. This exemption forms part of 80C so the overall milit of 80C is a limit for housing loan principal also. Hope in next month's budget 80C limit is increased!
