10 August 2014 1) If the property is under construction, you are not eligible to claim interest and principal repaid under section 24(b) and 80C(2)(xvii) of the Income tax Act,1961.

2) Since you have claimed it,though wrongly, the exchequer presumes that a residential accommodation is owned by you ,which prevents you to claim deduction under section 80GG of the above said act.
