Query about Section 80EE

It was additional benefit given in the finance act, for particular year.

The same was extended in finance act, 2019, vide sec. 80EEA...   as follows...

80EEA. (1) In computing the total income of an assessee, being an individual not eligible to claim deduction under sec. 80EE, there shall be deducted, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this section, interest payable on loan taken by him from any financial institution for the purpose of acquisition of a residential house property.

(2) The deduction under sub-section (1) shall not exceed one lakh and fifty thousand rupees and shall be allowed in computing the total income of the individual for the assessment year beginning on the 1st day of April, 2020 and subsequent assessment years.

(3) The deduction under sub-section (1) shall be subject to the following conditions, namely:—

 (b) the expression "stamp duty value" means value adopted or assessed or assessable by any authority of the Central Government or a State Government for the purpose of payment of stamp duty in respect of an immovable property.

Sir,

I just want to know about section 80EE only.

In my case section 80EEA will not apply because my house neither comes under affordable housing scheme nor have size below 90 sq mtr. My lonable house size is 240 sq mtr.

is section 80EE applicable for loan which sanctioned during FY 2021-22 ?

Sec. 80EE is not applicable in that case.

I know, but i am confused with logic of  FY 2016-2017 linked with section 80EE ? is there any specific reason behind this ?

As I said earlier. it was additional deduction offered in particular year, and the same was repeated to year 2019 to 2022, u/s. 80EEA.

You have to determined based on your loan sanctioned in 2021-22, whether you can get this additional benefit offered u/s. 80EEA.

If not, forget both of them and concentrate only on deduction available u/s. 24(b) of the act.

I had purchased a land in 2011 (no construction yet) followed by a flat in 2017 (where I currently reside). Will my flat purchased in 2017 be eligible to be considered for claiming benefit under 80EE provided other criteria are met?
