Tax Deduction on Principal Repayment Section 80C
The deduction to claim principal repayment is available for up to Rs. 1,50,000 within the overall limit of Section 80C in FY 2014-15 (Rs. 1,00,000 if you are filing returns for last financial year). Check the principal repayment amount with your lender or look at your loan installment details.
Conditions to claim this deduction
To qualify for this deduction:
- The home loan must be for purchase or construction of a new house property.
- The property must not be sold in five years from the time you took possession. Doing so will add back the deduction to your income again in the year you sell.
