The total interest shall be allowed as deduction under Sec 24b in 5 equal installments, beginning from the year in which you get possession.

 

Deduction on home loan interest cannot be claimed when the house is under construction. This pre-construction interest can be claimed only after the construction finished in five equal installments.

construction has to be completed within 5years from the end of the F Y in which capital was borrowed
thank you and congratulations
