Interest on borrowed capital on accrual basis + 1/5th of the interest, if any, belonging to pre-construction period.

Pre construction Interest = Funds borrowed X rate of interest X pre construction period

1/5th deduction, for 5 consecutive years, starting from the previous year in which property is acquired or constructed.

> Interest on fresh loan taken to repay the original loan = deductible

> Interest on Interest = Not deductible

Interest on Borrowed Capital:

1) Let out/Deemed to be let out

o On accrual basis + 1/5th of interest, if any, of pre-construction period

o Entire interest allowed as deduction.

2) Self Occupied

o Max 150000 (incl. 1/5th of pre construction period)

o for acquisition or construction 

o loan taken on or after 1.4.99

o construction completed within 3 years from the end of financial year in which loan was taken

o certificate received from lender

o New loan also covered

o Any other case = 30000

Interest payable outside india is not allowed as deduction if TDS has not been deducted and there is no person in India who may be treated as an agent.
