Hi
Need suggestion with regard to claiming for TAX exemption on intrest on home loan and HRA.
I have a home loan for property which is in different state and I am staying in different state.

The property is not rented for which I am having the home load as my parent are staying in that house, please suggest.
Thanks & Regards

As you have a home loan of property you cn claim deduction under section 80c.
As per the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961, a deduction of upto 150,000 can b claimed as tax exemption on housing loan.
This deduction is claimed towards the total interest that you pay on the home loan towards purchase or construction of house property.
It would be deductible in five equal annual instalments commencing from the year in which the house has been acquired or constructed only for one such self – occupied property.
You can also avail deduction on the principal loan repayment u/s 80 C (Max Limit Rs. 1 lakh).
And you can also claim HRA
