I have booked a flat from a builder. The possession would be handed over in 2015. The flat / building is under construction. I have taken a loan from Bank and have been paying the EMI. I know that rebate on interest on the under construction property is not allowed till possession is received. Please advise whether any rebate would be available for the principal paid.
