w.r.t your first two questions, let rohit and shiv deal with the same.

w.r.t last question, if you use the sale proceeds to pre pay your loan, it will be eligible for the investment if that property was purchased one year before the sale of Pune property. if that property is more than one year old you can't claim the deduction.
