The deduction u/s 80C can be claimed now itself, as it does not mention about the completion of the construction.

However, for sec24 they need the completion of the construction, which can be deduced from the possession letter issued by the builder or the Completion certification given by the govt. authority.

Hi Sachin

a) i agree with Rushikesh

b)

This is the wordings of Section 80C

80C (2)(xviii) for the purposes of purchase or construction of a residential house property the income from which is chargeable to tax under the head “Income from house property” (or which would, if it had not been used for the assessee’s own residence, have been chargeable to tax under that head), where such payments are made towards or by way of.....

            For the purpose of claiming deduction u/s.80C for principal repayment towards loan purchased for the purposes of purchase or construction of a residential house, the income from that residential house should be chargeable to tax under the head “Income from house property”. But at the time of construction nothing would be the income from that property. So, Kalpesh cannot claim deduction under section 80C for the repayment of loan.
