The intra-cluster medium contains cosmic rays and magnetic fields that aremanifested through the large scale synchrotron sources, termed as radio halos,relics and mini-halos. The Extended Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT)Radio Halo Survey (EGRHS) is an extension of the GMRT Radio Halo Survey (GRHS)designed to search for radio halos using GMRT 610/235 MHz observations. TheGRHS+EGRHS consists of 64 clusters in the redshift range 0.2 -- 0.4 that havean X-ray luminosity larger than 5x10^44 erg/s in the 0.1 -- 2.4 keV band andwith declinations > -31 deg in the REFLEX and eBCS X-ray cluster catalogues. Inthis second paper in the series, GMRT 610/235 MHz data on the last batch of 11galaxy clusters and the statistical analysis of the full sample are presented.A new mini-halo in RXJ2129.6+0005 and candidate diffuse sources in Z5247, A2552and Z1953 are discovered. A unique feature of this survey are the upper limitson the detections of 1 Mpc sized radio halos; 4 new are presented here making atotal of 31 in the survey. Of the sample, 58 clusters that have adequatelysensitive radio information were used to obtain the most accurate occurrencefractions so far. The occurrence of radio halos in our X-ray selected sample is~22%, that of mini-halos is 13% and that of relics is ~5%. The radio power -X-ray luminosity diagrams for the radio halos and mini-halos with thedetections and upper limits are presented. The morphological estimators namely,centroid shift (w), concentration parameter (c) and power ratios (P_3/P_0)derived from the Chandra X-ray images are used as proxies for the dynamicalstates of the GRHS+EGRHS clusters. The clusters with radio halos and mini-halosoccupy distinct quadrants in the c-w, c-P_3/P_0 and w - P_3/P_0 planes,corresponding to the more and less morphological disturbance, respectively. Thenon-detections span both the quadrants.
