Dear Ajnas,
Referring to your query, please note that the Section 24(b) of Income Tax Act, states the deduction of Interest paid or payable on Borrowed Capital taken for the purpose of acquisition, construction, repairing, re-construction of the house property shall be allowed from the Income from House Property.
But No penal Interest is allowed for deduction under this section.
