    Dear Sateesh, are you getting the loan under the existing home loan or as a separate loan?

    Thanks

        Dear Satheesh, are you taking this Mortgage loan from SBI or from elsewhere? If you can establish that the loan was meant for house construction itself, you can claim the tax benefit. My choice ‘ll be to ask SBI or the bank to issue the mortgage loan under the home loan scheme or to treat this loan as home loan. Although you w’d have to pay a higher interest due to mortgage loan.

        Thanks
