Dear Sir,

Hope you are doing well !!

You can claim deductions on the repayment of interest and principal component from the taxable income as per Section 24, 80C and 80EE of the Income Tax Act.

Below are 5 tax benefits related to home loans, you can claim:

1. As per Section 80C, the deduction is available with regard to the repayment of the principal component of home loans. The maximum deductions available as per Section 80C could be 150000 p.a.
2. As per Section 24, the deduction is available for the repayment of interest on home loans up to 200,000 p.a. This deduction is available under the head 'Income from house property'.
3. An additional deduction of up to 50,000 p.a. is available (subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions) with regard to repayment of interest on home loans as per Section 80EE.
4. As per Section 80C, you can also avail deductions for registration charges and stamp duty paid for acquiring their property.
5. Section 24 also allows deduction pertaining to repayment of interest on NRI home loans, even though the property is in pre-construction phase subject to certain conditions.

Apart from that, it is advisable to claim maximum tax deductions of Rs 1.5 lakh by investment specified u/s 80C. 

80CCD-To encourage the investors to invest for retirement in Nation Pension Scheme, the government allowed addition tax deduction of Rs 50,000 under section 80CCDD.

It is over and above Rs. 1.5 lakh limit.

80D-Deduction for the premium paid for Medical Insurance up to Rs. 50000 subject to conditions.

It is advisable to take a phone consultation for detailed discussion.

Sir following are the areas to look for

a) Still your 80C Pension limit is not exhausted of Rs. 50,000/-

b) There is no details of Mediclaim so it can be claimed

c) You can also claim the benefit of any reimbursement received from the company along with allowance breakup

There can be many area which can be planned out but it requried in depth analysis of the structure, your investment set up and total income filing done till date

If you are also owning the house how are you claiming HRA? Is your own house and rented property both in same city?

So are you owning 2 houses or the one on which you are claiming EMI deduction is the one on rent?

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

Hi

You may claim home loan principal repayment under section 80C. Additionally, there would be PF also in 80C, so you may claim a total of 1.5 lacs under 80C.

The deduction for housing loan interest is provided under section 24 separately.

You may invest in a medical insurance and claim deduction under section 80D.

Additionally, investment in NPS shall be available as deduction under section 80CCD.

You need to report all these investments to your employer so that the taxes are deducted accordingly.

We may discuss the issues further.

It is advisable to take a phone consultation for detailed discussion.

1. Claim principal as deduction u/s 80C i.e. within limit of Rs.1.50 lacs. You need to invest more in NPS by Rs.50k. It will save you tax of Rs.15600.

2. Claim interest of Rs.224085 against net annual rent of Rs.1,34,400 and the remaining loss of Rs.89,685 can be set off against salary income which will further save tax of Rs.27,624/-. Total saving of tax is Rs.43,224/-.
