Please feel free to revert in case of any doubts.

Thanks and Regards,

This additional deduction of Rs.50000 in Budget 2016 has been given on interest for loan up to Rs 35 lakh, provided the house value doesn't exceed Rs 50 lakh.

In our opinion This will be applicable for the house purchased after Mar 2016.

Deduction under 80EE is available only if loan sanctioned during 1/4/2016 to 31/3/2017 and is upto Rs 35 Lacs. Thus in your case deduction will not be available. Regards

Dear Sir,

You are not elligible for the deduction, since you have purchased the property before 01st April 2016.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Please feel free to call/ get back in case of any further clarifications.

Thanking You.
