27 November 2009 An individual takes a housing loan for consturction on 01/07/2008 & on the same date he purchases a plot.He pays interest of about Rs.50000/- during the F.YR 2008-09. The construction on house on the plot is not yet finished. So whether this year's interest payment can be shown for deduction in House Property, if so what will the amount? or interest is treated only after the completion of construction?No repayment of loan is there.
