He is eligible to get i/5 th of Rs 150000/-
as pre-construction period interest. Being the 5th yr 30000 pre-const. period +144000
current int subject to ceiling of 150000/

06 November 2009 See the condition that for claiming deduction for interest that the construction of the house property is completed within 3 years from the end of financial year in the the amount was borrowed. As the date of borrowing is not mentioned in the question, if it is on or before 31.3.2001, then the maximum deduction for interest will be Rs.30,000.
So the maximum loss can be either Rs.30,000 or Rs.1,50,000.
