Hello CA's and Experts I am sanjay. I want your valuable advise on my three points which are as follows. 1. I have purchased the property in 2007 and availed the home loan in Jan 2008 alongwithmy wife as a co borrower. I want to know whether can I claim interest paid on home loan in my return for the current financial year. 2. What is the procedure for claiming the pre EMI Interest which I have been paying in the last three years. I have taken the possession on 5/10/2011 of the property. It is urgent. Regards sanjay
