Home loan interest claim amount - section 24

We have recently shifted to Bangalore from Delhi. We have our own house in Ghaziabad which we rented out to some one. Here in Bangalore we are staying in a rented accomodation.

As per IT Rules, we can claim both HRA and Home Loan Interest as part of Savings.

But, I got to know if one have a house on Loan in another State/City and rented out as well, then the limit of interest that I can claim is not specified (i.e. any x amount can be claimed).

Currently there is a Cap of Rs. 1.5 Lakhs as the interest income, but with the above scenario if the house is rented out and I am showing Rental Income, then this interest component can be upto any N amount?

If this is true can some one guide where is this written in Income-Tax Act. I need to show this to my company to get additional benefit/claim.

 

Thanks for your help.

Shivani.

As per section 23 of Income tax act, where the house property unable to occupy by the owner due to employement or business reason, such propery can be treated as self occupied. so you can claim Delhi house is not occupied due to employement reasons as self occcupied . such as case you can claim the interest deduction u/s24(b) maximum cap of Rs.1.50 lakh

 

In case your Delhi house is letout and you need to declare the Income from house property and can take interest deduction actual basis
