Interest Deduction will be allowed under the Head Income from HP as provided u/s 24(b) i.e. when house property gets completed he will get the pre interest deduction for five consecutive year starting from the PY in which house was constructed. and for Principal repayment assesee is eligible for getting deduction u/s 80C irrespective of fact whether Construction is completed or not.
