Rebate on Tax on Home loan Interest

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether both individuals on a joint home loan for a self-occupied property can claim separate interest deductions up to £2 lakh under Section 24 of the Income Tax Act. The consensus is yes, provided EMI payments can be traced to each individual's contribution, even if paid from a joint account or if one partner transfers funds monthly. The bank's interest certificate being in both names supports this claim.

08 March 2022 My wife and I have availed a single joint housing loan for our self occupied house. This house is jointly owned by both of us. Can we both avail interest deduction upto ₹2 lakh for interest and repayment of home loan under Sec 24 of Income Tax separately? Can we both claim the interest deduction in different ratio? Please advise any condition for payment of EMI from both Bank Account?

Bank Required only One Bank Account(salary Account) for deduction of EMI at the time of Loan disbursement. Please suggest is it possible EMI paid through Joint Bank Account. It is also inform that the Bank issued Interest Certificate Joint Name i.e husband and wife.

09 March 2022 Yes you can make the EMI payment from joint account. If the bank is not accepting the joint account then you can give your bank account and every month your wife can transfer part of her EMI so that she can claim the deduction.
