In the context of joint home ownership and a joint home loan, the deduction of interest and principal repayment for income tax purposes can depend on various factors, including the ownership share and the contributions made by each co-owner. Here's a general overview based on common practices, but it's essential to consult with a tax professional for advice tailored to your specific situation:
Home Loan Principal Repayment:
-
Individual Deduction Limit: Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act in India, each co-owner can claim a deduction of up to INR 1.5 lakh for the principal repayment on the home loan.
-
Joint Ownership: If the property is jointly owned, each co-owner can claim a deduction for their share of the principal repayment, subject to the overall limit of INR 1.5 lakh.
