My brother has taken a housing loan from a bank in August 2010 for a house which is under construction. The possession is likely to be obtained in January 2013. Please advise the tax treatment to claim deduction for repayment of housing loan (principal and interest)till March 2012.

As per provisions in Income Tax Act, "Money may be borrowed prior to the acquisition or construction of the property. In such a case, interest paid/
payable before the final completion of construction or acquisition of the property will be aggregated and allowed for five successive financial years starting with the year in which the acquisition or construction is completed"
In your case, as the possession (acquisition) is not yet received till end of 2012, No deduction will be allowed this year, deduction will be allowed from next year ie 2013 when you get the possession and the amount of interest paid prior to the year 2012 ie from 2010-2012 will be allowed in 5 equal installments.
