Bank is not ready to issue the Interest Paid statement until possession

Hi,

How can I claim Pre EMI Interest deduction (home loan) when the bank is not ready to issue the Interest Paid statement until possession/construction completion which isn’t due for another 2 years? What is IT rule?

    Dear Sir,

    Pre-EMI interest can be claimed as a deduction under Income Tax only after you get possession of the property, over a period of 5 years from the date of possession.

    However, if you have paid interest during the year, the bank is required to give you the interest certificate for the same.

    Regards,
