Quick Summary
Yes, individuals can claim an income tax deduction for the repayment of the principal amount of a housing loan taken from a bank. This deduction falls under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. However, there's a maximum limit of £1.5 lakh for this deduction, and it's only applicable if the construction of the house is complete.
