Home loan tax benefits for a preclosed loan

I have an SBI home loan, which I want to pay and close before the full disbursement is over, during the construction phase. Would I be able to claim tax benefits under 24c, 80c and 80EE once I take possession of the property?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies tax benefits for an SBI home loan that's pre-closed before full disbursement and construction completion. While you can claim deductions for stamp duty under Section 80C, other benefits like interest deductions under Section 24(b) and 80EE, and principal repayment under Section 80C are generally not applicable until after construction is finished and you take possession.

You may claim deduction on account of payment of stamp duty for registration of property u/s 80C.

Other deductions like interest u/s 24(b) and 80EE as well as repayment of principal u/s 80C cannot be availed because such deductions can be availed only after the construction is over and in your case, you are closing the loan even before the construction is complete.

You can claim deduction on account of payment of stamp duty for registration of property u/s 80C and capitalised the interest paid on loan.

Other deductions like interest u/s 24(b) and 80EE as well as repayment of principal u/s 80C is not applicable
