Dear All,
I have a query regarding Income tax on Housing Loan. I own a flat in Bangalore and I am currently staying in the same flat with my parents. I am paying around 3.5 lakhs towards Interest and 55k towards principle. I know that I am not eligible for HRA deduction but I am interested to know whether I can claim rent from my father
If I receive rent from my father, say around 10k per month, and I can declare that as rental income. But I would be eligible for atleast 2.5 lakhs as interest exemption.
Interest Paid + 30% rebate on maintenance - (Annual Rent Recieved - Annual Muncipal Tax paid)
350000+36600 - (130000 - 8000) = 264600/-
I can give rent receipts to my father and can account that in his returns. He is a senior citizen.
Is this possible to claim rent from my father?
Regards,
