19 February 2013 No entire interest will be consider for F.y 2012-13. Because of loan taken financial year and occupied financial year both are same so entire interest will consider as interest for that financial year. In case such loan taken before 31-3-2012 and occupied after 31-3-2012 then interest upto 31-3-2012 shall consider as pre-construction period interest and shall allow 5 equal installments. But in your case both loan taken year and occupied year are same financial years so claim entire interest.
