13 January 2019 Hello, self got a loan of 30 lacs for purchase of a flat and was cleared by SBI in Oct 15. House was under-construction and got completed in Dec 17. Hence after receiving the possession letter in jan 18, I filed the ITR in mar 18 for refund. Query for above is that for 17-18, I have received tax refund, but for years 15-16 and 16-17 can I ask for tax refund. If yes then how. As max limit is 60000/- that for each year m eligible. So should I forget the tax rebate of previous years for which I have paid the loan but not filed the ITR due to possession letter.
Thank you
Regards

13 January 2019 any amount of interest for the years before you got the possession, needs to be claimed in subsequent five years in five equal instalment.
