Preconstruction period should be 01/04/2007-31/03/2008. Interest for this period is allowable while computing the income from House Property as also allowable.

no, preconstruction period because the house is completed in the same year in which loan was taken

The construction of the house was completed in same PY in which the loan was taken. So there is no per-construction interest. The interest for 07-08 will be fully claimed in the same PY.

Preconstruction interest is not to be taken into consideration as the house is completed in the very same year in which loan is taken.

Hence no deduction u/s 24. . . . .

There is no pre-construction period interest, as the commencement and completion of of the property was in the same financial year. The interest on housing loan for current year can claim.........
