Suppose I have taken loan for construction of house. Now the house is still under construction and I have started paying EMI's so can I claim principal portion deduction u/s 80C?
If Not, then in section 80C where it is specifically mentioned that construction of house is a precondition for claiming deduction u/s 80C?
Kindly share your views on the same.
