I got an Under Construction Apartment in July 2009. I started paying EMI from day 1 to reduce my Principle Amount. Finally its ready this Year(2011). As i am paying Interest from 2009 to till date , how do i claim rebate on total interest paid so far ? If i don't claim HRA this year , can i claim total Interest paid so far at a shot ? Please give me details on this scenario. Thanks in Advance.

For claiming interest on your House property Loan you have to procure a year wise certificate from the bank for re-payment of principal and repayment of Interest. Repayment of principal you can claim u/s 8)C as per prescribed limit and you can claim interest against your house property accordingly.
The entire amount of interest you cannot claim in the return of assessment year 2011-12. Only interest pertaining to A. Y. 2011-12 can be claimed in 2011-12.
The other way round is you can revise the return for A. Y . 2010-11 provided your time has not expired and in that return you can claim the interest related A. Y. 2010-11

Sir, Builder will handover my Apartment by Nov/Dec 2011. Currently i still stay in Rented house. I will occupy my apartment some time in December 2011. So whats the best way to claim Tax rebate on HRA and Interest paid for my Apartment.
Also as i will claim my previous year 2010-2011 Interest in 5 equal installments , do i need submit any special documentation while declaring/filing my IT returns?
