Wrongly claimed exemption on home loan interest.

Hi,

Recently i got a call from my income tax ward asking for confirmation of my address. Further i was told that they wanted to send some letter related to assesment year 15-16. I informed them that i already got refund in september 2015 for the same. The person said its ok and said they will send the letter to my current address. I am still waiting for that letter. Meanwhile i tried to figure out what may have went wrong and found that i should not have had taken exemption against home loan interest on self occupancy basis for fincancial year 14-15. I wasn't aware that is can be taken only from the financial year in which possession letter is given. I got possession in march 2016. This because of the fact that my seniors told me about the exception this way. Also i had submitted loan provisional letter in my organisation and they have given me the exemption. I have filled ITR on that basis only. I am worried and suspecting if this could be the reason. What shall i do. Kindly guide.

Hi Rahul,

There is no need to worry in it, the letter may have not reached because of some address issue, you can call on the no. from where you got the call.

Secondly if you can file your revise return for the following assessment year if filled in time.

But please ensure if they have raised a demand on basis of the aforesaid point then you cannot file the revised return in regards to the above error.

So first just wait for the intmation letter and then accordingly decide your next step.
