Interest paid for the property booked with unitech will not be allowable as deduction u/s 24b unless you have alloted the property and the possession is handed over. Interest paid on housing loan prior to that will be available equally in five yearly instalments commencing from the year you take the possession. However, you can avail HRA exemption from ur salaries. As the deduction u/s 24b will not be available for the moment, you will have to furnish ur return of income on ITR-1.
