Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of a mother transferring untaxed funds to her son to repay his home loan. Generally, gifts from a mother to her son are tax-exempt, meaning neither party faces immediate tax liability on the transfer itself. While the son can claim deductions on the interest paid for his home loan, the availability of deductions for the principal repayment, especially when funded by a gift, may require consultation with a tax expert.
the son can claim deduction of interest under section 24. but i am not sure about 80c deduction on principal relayment of homeloan. since it is not paid out of his own taxable income the deduction may not be available. you may consult an expert on this aspect.
