Dear Sir, An assesse has taken HBL on Aug'2015 for his new flat, and he is paying Interest and EMI from Aug'2015 onwards. The EMI Amount per month is Rs. 33000.00 and Interest Amt per months Rs. 28000.00 (Approx). He has got Possession of the flat on Jan'2016. My query is whether he will get the benefit of EMI Amount from Aug'2015 and Interest payment from Aug'2015 in his IT Return for F.Y. 2015-16.
