28 December 2012 Sec. 80 C provides for the deduction in respect of the payment/ repayment by individual, HUF for the purchase or construction of residential house property to Central Govt, State Govt, Bank, LIC , National HSG.Bank etc.

So far as the interest for the pre construction period is concerned , it is avaibale as deduction u/s 24(b) in five equal annual instalment.

Sec. 80 C does not prescribe any condition of the pre construction or post construction repayment of the HSG. Loan principal. Hence, the deduction u/s 80 C is avaibale in respect of the repayment of the principal even for the pre construction period.
