After the possession you can take the exemption of total interest before the possession in 5 equal instalment.

03 April 2008 No, actual provision is if possession not given due to construction not completed then 1/5 for every year. if construction completed but possession not given you can claim full in Sec 24

03 April 2008 YES .IF CONSTRUCTION IS NOT COMPLETE AND POSSESSION NOT TAKEN, 1/5 TH OF INTEREST CAN BE CLAIMED AS PRECONSTRC. INT IN 5 INSTALMENTS.
ONLY ON COMPLETION OF CONSTRC. AS IN YOUR CASE, YOU CAN CLAIM FULL INT. AS PER CERT. GIVEN BY HOME LOAN BANKER.
