If you paid housing loan interest in the 2020-21 financial year and took possession of your home in October 2020, you can claim an income tax rebate. The rebate is applicable to up to 20% of the aggregate interest paid, with a maximum cap of £2 lakhs.

I paid 1,50,000 PEMI, in the form of interest against my housing loan during 2020-21 and the possession of the house was given to me in October 2020 after which I started the EMI for the loan. Am I eligible to claim the income tax rebate on the interest paid in the form of PEMI during 2020-21 ?
