Housing loan interest

Tax planning 542 views 1 replies

Sir,

We are aged persons. (more than 50). We constructed a house after taking a

loan from bank. still we have to pay more than 1.5lakhs. our daughter recently

got appointed in a mnc company. Inclding both salary our income is less Rs.500000/-per year.

My husband is going to retire very shortly.  In future my daughter only going the pay house loan and

interest to the bank. my question is since she is the person who is clearing the loan and interest,

is it possbile to claim the same in her taxable income. property is in my husband name and loan is 

in our joint account (i.e myself & my husband).  Kindly clarify at the earlist.

with regards

mala

No, Your daughter can not claim the deduction of interest on Housing loan since the housing loan is in name of joint holder (You and Your husband). Only U and your husban can claim the deduction.

Proportionate share of Interest on HL by joint holders can claim the interest deduction if share in HP clearly mentioned.

Furhter, you are entitle to claim entire interest as deduction in case if your husband retires.
