If the house in self - occupied, then the limit of Rs 1.5 lakhs is inclusive for pre-construction and post-construction interest.
For eg: If the current interest is Rs 1.4 lakhs and 1/5th installment for pre-construction is Rs 20 thousand. Then instead of Rs 1.6 lakhs, you can claim only 1.5 lakhs.
