One of the client has paid 4 months Pre Emi Interest for the last FY  2022-23 (Asst year:  2023-24), and he got Occupancy Letter in the month of March.

As per bank certificate:

PRINCIPAL COMPONENT Rs. 8,441.00

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax deductibility of housing loan pre-EMI interest. While the standard interest component paid after occupancy is fully deductible, pre-EMI interest paid in a previous financial year is subject to specific rules. Only one-fifth of the pre-EMI interest can be claimed as a deduction in the current assessment year, with the remainder spread equally over the next four years.

Both interest components will be considered.

The entire interest component can be claimed as deduction. with respect to prior period interest, only 1/5th of 123989 has to be claimed as deduction and the rest of the amount has to be claimed in equal proportions in 4 assessment years
Interest: Only can be claim for the interest amount of Rs 49833/-

He got occupancy in March, can't the entire interest can be claimed 

Only 1/5th of the prior period interest can be claimed for an assessment year

No, Both interest not available for deduction.
