I am having a House property with a rental income of Rs 1.20 lacs per annum. I availed a loan from a bank and paid interest on the home loan. I am filing IT return under the new regime. I understand that the net loss after adjustment of rental income (Net Annual Value) to interest paid to adjusted against Gross income from salaries is not permissible. However, section 24 permits interest on a home loan can be allowed where the house property is let out without any maximum.
I shall thank you if you could clarify with relevant sections of IT Act whether interest paid on a home loan is permitted as an allowable deduction for FY 2024-25

Deduction for interest on home loan is not allowed for self-occupied property under the new regime. However, if the property is let out or deemed let out, interest deduction is allowed only up to the amount of rental income (not beyond that).
