Frequently asked questions
Can I claim both 80C and Section 24b on the same home loan?
Yes. You can claim both — Section 80C for principal repayment (up to ₹1.5L, clubbed with other 80C investments) and Section 24(b) for interest (up to ₹2L for self-occupied). Together, a ₹30% slab taxpayer can save up to ₹1,05,000 per year in tax (assuming full utilization of both limits). Both are available only under the old regime.
What is the home loan interest deduction for rented property?
For rented property, Section 24(b) allows the ENTIRE home loan interest as deduction — there is no ₹2L cap. However, if this creates a loss under house property income, you can only set off ₹2L per year against other income (e.g., salary). The remaining loss is carried forward for 8 years.

For a 30% slab taxpayer with 4% cess, this saves ₹1,09,200 per year. In early years of a large loan, the interest component is high so Sec 24(b) is most valuable.
