Hi,
I'm currently living on rent in a apartment allocated by company
I have a property in Delhi - No loan but property is under construction and I have to pay an outstanding amount.
I've recently bought another property in Mumbai - on loan.
Can you help me figure out if I can claim any tax benefit on the interest paid via EMIs under section 24 (b)?
If so, what would be the limit, if any?
Kindly help,
Thanks.
Interest paid>> Up to Rs. Two Lakh if completed within 3 years from the end of the fin. year in which loan is taken, else Rs. 30,000.Interest for pre construction/Acquisition period is allowable in 5 equal installment beginning from the year of completion of house property. This deduction is not allowable if the loan is utilized for repairs, renewal or reconstruction.

Okay, but I'm planning to give that property out on rent.
I have heard that I can claim unlimited benefit by way of interest paid in excess of rental income received?
Could you help?
If this second property is Let out Property, then there is no limit on the interest expense that can be claimed in a particular year. Whatever you incur, you may claim.
Interest claimable on LOP house: Interest incurred during the year+1/5th of preconstruction interest(for 5 yrs)
