Total PCI = Interest paid from loan start to 31st March before completion
Annual Deduction = Total PCI ÷ 5 years
Total Section 24(b) = (PCI÷5) + Current Year Interest
Maximum for Self-Occupied = ₹2,00,000 per year
Let-Out Property = No upper limit

🔍 Example Scenario:
Loan Start: July 2021
Construction Complete: June 2024
Total Pre-Construction Interest: ₹3,00,000
PCI Claim: ₹60,000 per year for 5 years (FY 2024-25 to FY 2028-29)
Current Year Interest: ₹1,20,000
Total Deduction (Year 1): ₹1,80,000 (₹60,000 + ₹1,20,000)
