12 March 2012 Dear all,

I have purchased a house property in the current year by taking home loan and i have paid stamp duty of Rs.50000 and registration fees of Rs.10000.Now the question is can I claim deduction u/s 80C for principal paid on home loan,stamp duty and registration fees paid.
For e.g. If I have paid a sum of Rs.20000 for Principal then Can I claim total deduction of Rs.80000 u/s 80C (20000 Principal of Home loan + 50000 for Stamp duty +10000 for registration fees.
