Pre-construction period interest
This query is : Resolved
04 April 2023
Hello
My house is ready for delivery. I have taken a home loan for the construction. The apartment complex took 7-8 years to reach completion stage, primarily due to COVID related lockdowns. I have been paying pre-construction interest all these years.
Can I claim this pre-construction period interest in total over the next 5 years? Or am I only eligible to claim Rs. 30K per year for 5 years.
The delay is purely force majeure.
Please help..

You can claim the preconstruction interest over a period of 5 years.
The total interest claim in a year can't exceed 2 lacs including current year interest.

Just an add on question. If there is a limitation of 2L per annum, how do I claim the total preconstruction interest of 15L? Can I claim beyond 5 years?
