It's more expensive to opt for the pre-EMI option as you pay interest till the loan is fully disbursed as well as during the loan tenure of.
You will not be able to avail of any tax deduction during the pre-EMI phase. The entire interest that you pay will be aggregated and allowed as deduction in five equal instalments only after the construction is complete.

CA Sripal Jain Sir is saying right,
EMI option is better than Pre-EMI option because if you opt the EMI option whatever interest you have paid in the previous year.You will eligible to avail tax benefit. However, to avail tax benefit on interest you have to obtain interest Certificate from the Bank.
i got the point here that we will not be enjoying any benefit if we opt for Pre-EMI option. now there is one doubt, This Pre-EMI is only the interest part which we pay to bank as pre-emi or they add principal part as well.

no bank levies principal ,they levy only interest in case of pre EMIs,as the amount is disbursed for shorter term ,so it acts like a normal loan ,thus bankers normally levy only interest
