Taking a Bank Loan – Tax Plan |
Interest paid on housing loan can be claimed as deduction under u/s. 24(b) fully. Such deduction is per person and not for one property.
Repayment of the principal amount of housing loan is also eligible for the deduction u/s. 80c subject to a maximum sum of Rs. 1,50,000/- per year.
