Employee is eligible to take benefit of deduction under section 80C and 24(b),the amount which will be paid upto 31/3/2017

When a loan is taken in the same year in which the house property is purchased or constructed, one can enjoy the tax benefits on payment of both principal and interest component of the housing loan.

So he will get deduction for principle & interest from July’16 to 31.03.2017.
