Hi please answer this question If an assessee purchased house property during the year 2008-09 and claiming interest on housing loan till the year 2010. After 2years from the purchase he sold for loss (i.e Short term Capital loss). Is Interest on housing loan already claimed shall be reversed to that extent already claimed? And what about Short Term Capital Loss?

How can an interest deduction taken be reversed for the last two years? The end impact of both the claims would be the same only.
However since the property was already ready for use the interest cost cannot be capitalised for the same. Hence no deduction allowable from capital gains as the same cannot be considered as a cost of improvement nor cost of transfer nor cost of acquisition.
