14 March 2017 My client have taken loan in 2010-11 for purchase of flat. Its possession is handed in march 2017. total int upto 31.3.2016 is 11,15,931. Interest for fy 31.03.2017 is 1,48,425. I have doubt that possession is more than 5 years from date of loan so will he not be allowed deduction of 200000? and does limit of possession within 5 years of loan is also applicable on pre construction interest also. Please guide in detail about taxability...

15 March 2017 Yes, if the property is not acquired/constructed completed within 3 years from the end of financial year in which the loan was taken, the interest benefit in this case would be reduced from 2 Lakhs to Rs 30 thousand only. This limit of 3 years has been increased to 5 years from Financial Year 2016-17 and onwards.

As per my understanding He will not get the full deduction of 2 Lacs. Would appreciate suggestions from other experts as well.
