Frequently Asked Questions — Home Loan Tax Benefit Calculator
How much tax can I save on a home loan?
Maximum annual tax savings on home loan: Sec 24b interest deduction: ₹2L × 30% slab = ₹62,400. Sec 80C principal: up to ₹1.5L × 30% = ₹46,800 (shared with other 80C investments). Total max: ₹1,09,200/year at 30% slab. At 20% slab: ₹72,800/year.
Is home loan tax benefit available in the new tax regime?
No. Section 24b deduction for self-occupied property interest and 80C deduction for principal repayment are NOT available under the new tax regime. This is a significant advantage of the old regime for home loan borrowers — ensure to calculate both regimes to find what's optimal for you.
Can I claim home loan deduction on a second home?
For self-occupied property: up to ₹2 lakh interest deduction (per taxpayer). If you have 2 homes, one is deemed let-out and the other self-occupied. For deemed let-out property, notional rent is added to income but full interest is deductible (not capped at ₹2L). Principal repayment qualifies for 80C regardless.
