Definitely till Possession of Plot you can Claim HRA. Deduction of Home Loan Interest cannot be claimed when the house is under construction. The period from borrowing money until the construction period of house is called Pre-Construction Period. Pre-construction Interest Deduction allowed for Interest payments made deduction of the Pre-construction period is divided in 5 installments From the Year Which house is completed. Can be claimed Subsequent 4 years immediate to succeeding previous year in the year which Completion take place.
