per s.24, to claim interest deduction,acquisition of property must be with the help of loan. reentry into premises does not amounts to acquisition. ownership does not changes. so no deductipn of interest can be claimed

No deduction can be claimed as desired because the situation do not fulfil the requirement of the section.
