Suppose there are 2 flats . Flat A & B. Flat A is a SOP. There is no loan outstanding on flat A. Flat B is a flat whose possession is not yet obtained. So can we claim the interest on housing loan paid on Flat B U/S 24 ? Can this interest be considered in the nature of preconstruction period interest ?

Interest paid during construction period has to be accumulated and claimed over a period of 5 years from the date of completion of construction. This interest has to be considered as construction period interest.
