Dear Author , point to remember is deduction is availablee in the initial assessment year and seven assessment year immidiately succeeding the initial assessment yearor untill the interest is paid by the assessee in full, whichever is earlier
initial assessment year is the amount in which asssessee starts paying interest amount and not the year in which loan is taken.
interest is available on payment basis the year in which the interest is paid deduction is available
