23 July 2014 Can the exemption be claimed for under construction property?
are we not required to take 1/5th deduction of aggregate interest after construction is completed?




23 July 2014 according to my view , ded of 1.5 lac is available only after u get the possession of the property. u r right, intt during construction period can be claimed in 5 installment

23 July 2014 The interest in 5 installments can be claimed along with the respective years interest, but there is a limit of Rs.150000. So does the max. limit includes this pre construction interest also or the limit is only for current ie respective year's interest?

23 July 2014 sir, pre construction intt is allowed as deduction in five installment form the year in which construction is completed. pls refer to explanation 1 to sec 24 b of the IT ACT

suppose the construction is completed in the July 2014, then intt up to march 2014 will be deductible in five installment from the F.Y 2014-15.

regarding your query, 1/5 th pre construction intt is allowable in addition to limit of rs 1.5 lacs.
