21 February 2013 Interest benefit can be claimed only after getting the possession of house. Whatever interest is paid in f/y 2012-13 and i/5th of the interest paid before getting the possession(including Pre-emi interest) will be eligible for deduction in A/y 2013-14.
However payments of stamp duty and registration can be claimed in the year of payments iteself.
