05 March 2013 hello,
thanks sir for your reply i further had a query on the same issue.

1. Whether the principal amount can be claimed in the same financial year u/s 80C or it would be also differ.

2. The interest Component would be in addition to the next year instalment of interest.

e.g. interest paid in 2012-13 - Rs. 220581/-
principal - Rs. 32382/-

Whether the Princpal Amount can be claimed as deduction in the A.Y. 2013-2014

and the Interest which would be roughly equated in Rs. 30000/- eligible in A.Y. 2014-15, 15-16,16-17,17-18,18-19.

Can I get the notification for claiming principal deduction under 80C while the property is under construction.

regards

05 March 2013 Principal amount on repayment of housing loan can be claimed in the same financial year.
But pre-construction period interest can be claimed in equal 5 installments from the year of end of construction.
