15 March 2018 Sir,
I am a salaried person. I took loan from bank for construction of new house and started construction.I expected construction would be completed by this year and I have not paid any TDS for this reason.
but unluckily completeion has not completed till today..
What I want to know is can i get a refund if construction could completed by last of this month and claim it when filing return..?

17 March 2018 yes. but only a few amount has been deducted as TDS. I expected I would get the benefit of loan. so that I would not be having any taxable income for this F.Y.

17 March 2018 There is no benefit for construction as such. Interest paid on Home loan is however allowed as deduction.
