Fair questions
Frequently asked questions
Under the old regime you can deduct up to ₹2 lakh of interest (Section 24b) and ₹1.5 lakh of principal (Section 80C) a year. At the 30% slab that is up to about ₹1.09 lakh in tax saved, and more if you also qualify for the ₹1.5 lakh Section 80EEA interest deduction.
Section 24(b) lets you deduct home-loan interest — up to ₹2 lakh a year for a self-occupied property. For a let-out property there is no cap, but the overall house-property loss you can set off is limited to ₹2 lakh a year.
For a self-occupied property, no — Sections 24(b), 80C and 80EEA are only available under the old regime. For a let-out property, interest deduction under Section 24(b) is still allowed in the new regime.
Section 80EEA gives first-time buyers of eligible affordable housing an additional interest deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh a year, over and above the ₹2 lakh under Section 24(b), subject to conditions on stamp value and loan sanction dates.
