If a mistake is made in original return with respect of claimimg deductions of interest for homeloan can a revised retns be filed?The original return was filed on due date.

09 August 2017 First question: Since your wife is a housewife and as a result there's no income for her, the interest and principal repayment will be done by you. In that case you can claim the interest ,subject to Rs.2 lacs in case of self occupied property and without any limit in case of rented property

09 August 2017 Properly speaking, only the person who pays for the loan should claim the deduction

09 August 2017 If the original return is filed within the due date, if the assessment is not complete, you can revise the returns any number of times
