09 August 2014 there should not be any problem in claiming interest deduction.

However, for 80C deduction you need to check whether the house was sold within 5 years of purchase or not. if yes, then not only that current year deduction wont be allowed, but earlier deductions shall also be reversed.

You need to be the querist or approved CAclub expert to take part in this query .
