16 February 2010 In such a case Interest paid/ payable for the period prior the previous year in which property is acquired or constructed will be aggregated and allowed in five successive FYs stating with the year in which the aquistion/ constrcution was completed. Interest will be aggregated from the date of borrowing till the end of previous year in which the house is completed and not till the date of completion of constuction.

As regards Principal repayment, the same will be allowed under section 80C subject to maximum ceiling of Rs 100000 /-
