I have an old house and another one was bought 2 years back (but not registered yet). If I sell my old house and pay outstanding loan of second house and then get second house registered. Will I be liable for capital gains?

There would definitely be a capital gain if one's sell out any of the property. But rest can be clear only after reviewing the papers only because there are some other factors too which depends on purchase price and sale price accordingly.

No capital gains arises when new property purchased by selling out old one. In your condition purchase date shall be taken on the date of registration that's why no capital gain arises. so far as loan is concerned it is not cleared whether secured or unsecured and how got without registration of property but but in your condition still immaterial.
