So you mean to say that I can not claim the principle amount also?

Because what I got to know was i can claim principle loan amount even if I am not staying there (because it is in construction) but i can claim ineterest only after possession.

yes you can claim principal part of the loan only in the next year ie. from 1-4-2009 under section 80C of the income tax act.

Hi,

I have a question on housing loan and HRA-

I want to know if I can avail of HRA and housing loan rebate on the property bearing the same address. I have taken loan and contructed first floor on the house my parents built. It is almost comeplete but some sundry work like second coat of paint and some electrical work is pending. I have been paying the EMI on the loan for this first floor. I don't live in the first floor nor is it rented, so can I avail of HRA for the ground floor and also housing loan benefit for the first floor?
