Section 80ee


This query is : Resolved 

18 November 2013 As per New section 80EE, interest on housing loan can be claimed as deduction subject to other conditions. in the said section it is mentioned at 80EE (1) "............. interest payable on loan taken by him from any financial institution for the purpose of acquisition of a residential house property".

My doubt is does here the word acquisition includes construction or not, because at section 24(b) acquisition and constructions were separately treated.Hence if a person got a loan for construction can eligible for 80EE deduction????

19 November 2013 it appears that the acquisition here doesn't include construction. other experts may share their views.

19 November 2013 Aryan,

problem with under construction houses is "how do you ensure that total cost of construction won't breach Rs 40 lakhs barrier"

19 November 2013 Yes,I agree with that..
40lacs barrier is one of the requirement whether you are purchasing or constructing...
