Conversation Between Sunil and Tina

Tina: Sunil, can we buy a new house for ourselves?

Sunil: Yes, however this year I need to invest to claim the tax advantages so we could think the same in the subsequent year.

Tina: It seems that you do not know the tax advantages from the loans opted for the house property.

Sunil: Is it?

Tina: Yes

Sunil: Just tell me what would be the tax advantages of the housing loan?

Tina: Let me provide you with an overview then we would go towards each provision after that.

Sunil: I am listening

Tina: House loan repayment comprises two portions 1. Principle and 2. Interest repayments

  • Principal repayments get deduction u/s 80C up to 1,50,000
  • Interest repayments get deduction u/s
    • 24(b) up to 2,00,000 in case of self occupied
    • 80EE Maximum – 50,000
    • 80EEA Maximum – 1,50,000

Sunil: This is unimaginable we could save from a housing loan then what is the requirement to invest in the others.

Tina: Do not enjoy obtaining these deductions we require to satisfy some of the conditions, let's see these.

Sunil: let's begin

Tina: Under section 80C, a taxpayer would claim the principal payment as the deduction and stamp duty, the enrollment fee, and the additional expenses concerned with the buying of the new house.

  • However, the max deduction permitted for the self-occupied property would be Rs 2,00,000 along with all the properties.
Tina: Now you get it?

Sunil: Yes, though I have some questions?

Tina: Ok, fire me?

Sunil: This is concerned with the 24(b) section. If I avail of a loan as joint property is a deduction of 2,00,000 for both?

TIna: NO, each co-owner would obtain 2,00,000 deductions.

Sunil: Loan through the relatives would be permitted in 24(b) could we obtain the cash loan?

Tina: Yes, but up to 20,000 as some additional sections pose the penalties on cash loans of more than 20,000.

Sunil: if house property is used for let out purpose in this case also we will get a maximum of 2,00,000 as a deduction?

Tina: No, there is no limit towards the case of let out as per the conditions like construction needs to be finished prior to 5 years.

Sunil: Under sections 80EE & 80EEA the deduction time limits we already lose, thus if we initiate it now we could take only deduction u/s. 80C & 24(b) is it right?

Tina: Yes, You are right.

Sunil: Thank you, Tina.
