For many of us, it is the first biggest investment of our lives that is made possible only by availing a home loan. So, if you are at a stage where you&rsquo;ve finally saved enough for down payment, but are skeptical about availing a home loan, here are a few income tax benefits of home loan that&rsquo;ll ease you into making an affirmative decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax Deduction on Home Loan Interest:<\/strong> As per Section 24, a tax deduction of up to 2 lacs can be claimed on home loan interest, provided that the property is occupied by the owner or owner&rsquo;s family. However, this waiver applies only if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>home loan was availed for the purchase of a new property<\/li>\n<li>home loan was sanctioned after 1<sup>st<\/sup> April 1999<\/li>\n<li>property construction has been completed within five years of availing the home loan<\/li>\n<li>In case the construction is not completed within five years, then the deduction amount will be reduced to Rs. 30,000.<\/li>\n<li>An additional deduction of Rs. 50,000 for interest paid can be availed by first time buyers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note that this deduction cannot be claimed during the pre-construction stage of the property. The deduction can be claimed in five equal installments on completion of property construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax Deduction Repayment of Principal Amount: <\/strong>Under Section 80C, one can also claim a deduction of up to Rs. 1,50,000 on repayment of the principal amount. But to qualify for this deduction, the home loan should be taken for a newly constructed property and the property should not have been sold within five years from the time of possession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miscellaneous:<\/strong> You can also claim tax deduction on the stamp duty, registration charges, and other related expenses under section 80C. But claim these benefits within a year of making the payment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You should also know: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The amount of deduction that you can claim depends upon the ownership share of the property.<\/li>\n<li>In case of a joint home loan, both the borrower and co-borrower are eligible for deductions on interest amount (Section 24) and principal repayment (Section 80C).<\/li>\n<li>You can start claiming tax deduction only after the property construction is complete.<\/li>\n<li>The home loan interest certificate should be submitted to your employer, so you can get the tax benefits.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&rsquo;t submit this home loan interest certificate, then you will have to calculate the taxes on your own and claim the refund.<\/li>\n<li>In case of co-owners of a property, same tax deduction benefits are extended to both the property owners.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, buy a house and reap the many tax benefits. Moreover, if you are staying in another city on rent and your salary has HRA component, then you can claim that, as well.&nbsp; Buy a home, live anywhere and make the most of the favourable income tax benefits.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for affordable luxury homes, which you can finance and buy, then please visit Provident Housing projects situated in Bangalore, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Mangalore and Chennai.<\/p>\n<p>Our completed projects include:<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.providenthousing.com\/projects\/bangalore\/provident-sunworth-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Provident Sunworth<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.providenthousing.com\/projects\/bangalore\/provident-welworth-city-yelahanka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Provident Welworth<\/a><\/strong> in Bangalore. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.providenthousing.com\/freedom\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Freedom by Provident<\/a><\/strong> in Chennai.
