Housing Loan Interest:

In case of Housing Loan to  Bank employees generally two accounts are maintained

  • One for Principal
  • One for Accrued Interest

First principal is adjusted from the repayment and after wards, interest is reduced.

 

Now, what would be the treatment in Income Tax return:

 

  • Should we take the deduction of total repayment amount as principal repayment   in 80 C ( Up to Rs. 1 Lac ) and the accrued interest too U/s 24 B ( Negative income up to Rs. 1,50,000).
  • Some other treatment.

Please Clarify.
