Most of us do not know that tax relief is allowed on interest payments and consultancy or other fees paid for borrowings made even for the repairs and reconstruction of our homes.
The main points underlined are:
- You can claim tax benefit for interest accrued for the full year even though you skipped some EMIs.
- Processing fees and other charges incurred in getting the loan are also tax deductible.
- Loans obtained from friends and relatives are also tax deductible if taken for home loan purpose.
- Loan principal repayments during the pre-construction period can not be claimed for tax relief. But interest part of those EMIs can be claimed for tax relief during subsequent 5 years after possession of the house.
- If it is a joint loan, one should be a co-borrower along with being a co-owner of the house for enjoying the tax reliefs.
