29 September 2008 Hi,
One of My client had taken Housing Loan for Purchase of House Property in Feb 08 which is under construction. For getting the benefit agst tax (from Salary deduction) he had submitted Provisional Certificate from Bank stating total repayment say Rs. 100000/- as Ineterst & Rs.25000/- as Principal payments towards repayment of loan.
Now my question is Whether he can claim full benefit of Rs. 75000/- U/s. 24 & Rs. 25000/- U/s. 80C in FY 08-09? & What about benefits under same heads in FY 09-10 if the amt remains same i.e. Interest & Principal payments in 09-10
Assume same actual payments had been made in both years.
