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.

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.
