Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for the Section 80EEA deduction on home loan interest, specifically for properties under construction. While the loan must be sanctioned between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2020, and meet property value and size criteria, the deduction is generally for acquisition, not construction. It also addresses whether the Rs 2 lakh interest limit applies to this specific section.

I have the same doubt, loan taken between 1-4-2019 to 31-03-2020 but for construction
Section 80EEA – Additional interest deduction amounting to Rs 1,50,000 is allowed in addition to deduction under section 24(b).

The loan should be sanctioned between 1st April 2019 – 31st March 2020.

The stamp duty value of the house should not exceed Rs 45 lacs.

The carpet area of the house should not exceed 60 sqmtr in metro cities and 90 sqmtr in other cities.

Only the individual is allowed to claim the deduction under this section provided he does not own any other house property.

it's available for purpose of acquisition of a residential property not construction.
