Home Loan - Are You Eligible to Get Benefit

The Home Loan was distributed by various banks in this project and the prominent ones include ICICI Bank, HDFC, Axis Bank, and PNB Housing Finance.
How much benefit you can get- Lets take Mr. X scenario as this will help you to do your calculations (all figures are approximate ones)
Loan amount- Rs 30 lakhs
Bank- Axis Bank
Rate- 11% (now 10%)
EMI- Rs. 30966 (opted for reduction in tenure than EMI- so EMI is constant)
Principal- Rs. 50,000/year (approx till now)
Interest- Rs. 320000/year (approx till now)
Interest paid till April 2009- Rs. 5 lakh (from October 2007 to April 2009)
Home Loan- In name of Mr. X and his wife Mrs. X
Ownership- 50% each
Eligibility-
1) Self Occupied- 1 lakh in principal, 1.5 lakh in Interest plus 1/5th of total interest paid before possession for next 5 years(to both individually)
So in this case the total benefit (individually) would be
Principal- Rs. 25000
Interest- Rs. 160000 + Rs. 50,000 (1/5th of Interest paid in previous financial year)
- Rs. 210000
But the maximum interest that can be claimed individually is Rs. 150000.
Note- If you in same city than either you have to let go your HRA benefit or show your property as rented.
So in self occupied both Mr. X and his wife stands to gain Rs. 8600 approx. together each month or Rs. 4300 individually. This is 36% of their EMI.
2) Rented- If you show your property for rent in this year than Mr. X stands to gain a lot this year as whole of interest (minus 70% of rent) would be deductible. However from next year the benefit would be less than that of self occupied.
There are many scenarios that related to self-occupied or rented. In case you need any help than you can post your comment at below post.

Thanks for such a useful information… but I’m bit confuse here if we get this possession on Jan10, then how it is possible to remove my HRA and rent slip shown from my salary structure for the period of Apr09 till Dec09.

Mr Rawal, Do you live in same city. If yes than you have to give the declaration to your company in January. Your company HR would adjust everything.
There is no need to remove HR and rent slips as everything will get counted
1) The rent paid by you for 9 months would be counted
2) Complete deductions of Home Loan would get counted even if you live in your new house for three months.
One of friend got possesion in March this year and whole of his interst of same year was considered for calculation.
Mr Rawal, Give declaration to HR now and get both benefits. Tell them about the construcction and possesion thing. This is a law and they would know about it.
