19 August 2011 Interest can not be claimed until the construction is completed.
It will be accumulated and can be claimed 1/5 th every year in subsequent 5 AYs.

Example-
You took a housing loan on 1.6.2009. Interest for FY 2009-10 60000/ Interest for
FY 2010-11 is , say 90000. Total Interest
is 150000/-.

Now construction gets completed on 1.09.2011.
Interest from 1.4.11 to 31.08.11 is 30000
Interest from 1.09.11 to 31.03.12 is 45000

1.In Current years you will claim
full FY's interest i e 30000+45000=75000
.
2. In respect of accumulated interest of 150000/ you can claim 1/5 th of it i.e. 30000.
.
3. Total Deduction for Interest U/s 24 75000+30000=105000 For AY 2012-13.
.
4. No deduction in the AY 2010-11 and Ay 2011-12.
