01. I take it as purchase of plot at 60 lakh and housing loan of 75 lakh for the construction of house. Is it ok? (else giving a loan of 75 lakh for 60 lakh property may lead to SUBPRIME issue?) 02. Sec 24 is property specific and hence no deduction be claimed for interest on housing loan by b to g. A can very well claim the interest. 03. 80 C is bit liberal. In the initial years, the benefits may be claimed under the pretext of "house is being constructed"
