Sorry...For 80EE, loan needs to be sanctioned between 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017.

80EE is applicable only if the Housing Loan is taken in FY 2016-17

Yes

As per the current scenario,80EE benefit is available when loan has been sanctioned between 01.04.2016 to 31.03.2017. Such exemption may be extended.

Tax Benefit on Home Loan for payment of Interest is allowed as a deduction under Section 24 of the Income Tax Act. As per Section 24, the Income from House Property shall be reduced by the amount of Interest paid on Home Loan where the loan has been taken for the purpose of Purchase/ Construction/ Repair/ Renewal/ Reconstruction of a Residential House Property.

This tax deduction of Interest on Home Loan under Section 24 is deductible on payable basis, i.e. on accrual basis. Hence, deduction under Section 24 should be claimed on yearly basis even if no payment has been made during the year as compared to Section 80C which allows for deduction only on payment basis.

This deduction is also allowed when the property is self-occupied.
