Can assesse get deduction of interest paid, if interest paid for the loan which is under construction. assuming all other conditions are satisfied for section 80EE

but in such also the property for which loan is taken is to be owned by him....

my personal interpretation is that this section specifically use the word acquisition. if you are doing construction on your own, can it be called acquisition? doubtful.
the memorandum to the Finance Act 2013 very clearly states "Keeping in view the need for affordable housing, an additional benefit for first-home buyers is proposed to be provided...."
So 80ee might not be available to you.
Needless to say, you might still be able to frame persuasive arguments in your favor, but quite possible that at assessment stage, it can get disallowed.

in case then is it logical that person buys land constructs house with loan and will be disallowed...i think this section is drafted for benefit of assessee so you will get it...

Tushar...I didn't draft the section or the memorandum!
the idea behind the section seems to be to encourage purchase of affordable housing...it is for assessee's benefit to compare the same with section 80c(2)(xviii) which explicitly provides for "for the purposes of purchase or construction of a residential house property".
the clear difference in 80c and 80ee displays the legislative intent..
a beneficial clause can be interpreted liberally but not beyond the legislative intent..

@ prashant in my view since the section was introduced for benefit of assesse you can go ahead with the same....

Agree with you Mr.Nilesh. I have the same view that this deduction is only for purchase not for construction.
