My wife, first time home buyer, has taken a loan of 25 lacs for a apartment of 40 lacs in 2013-14. The possession was taken in FY 2014-15. No claim was under 80ee was made in AY 2014-15.
The current situation is as follows.
Interest paid during FY2013-14- Rs 1,00,000/- Principle paid during FY2014-15- Rs 30,000/- Interest during FY 2014-15 - Rs 2,20,000/-
Unfortunately this was not reflected in Form 16 and now has to be claimed in IT returns.
For AY 2015-16, can full interest for 2013 -14 ( i.e 1,00,000) be claimed under section 80ee or only 1/5th of the amount be claimed?
In numbers ,
Under sec 24 : Rs 2,00,000 ( this is clear)
Please clarify for section 80ee :
should this be Rs 1,00,00 or
Rs 40,000 ( 20000 of FY 14-15+ 1/5th of 100000 of FY13-14)?
