Re: TOP UP LOAN ON AN EXISTING HOUSING LOAN IS ELIGIBLE FOR TAX B

it depends on usuage. If you take it for renovation of building yes you can claim 80 c.
The savings you make for loans below 15 lacs above 15 lacs higher the amount max you save is 1.5 lacs on first house. Any interest you pay above is coming from your pocket.
On second home you get full deduction on interest but minus rent received.
So going for higher loan on second property is better more profitable.
But another even better option than paying high interest and losing money, its better to get loans at lower interest from some of NBFC and private financial institutions that have access to lower cost funds and can give lower interest loans. You get same benefits but with lower interest outgo.

I changed from my banks interest rate of 11.5% to 8.25% from a private Finance Corp using one of my contacts, saving over 12.6 lacs over the next 15 years of the loan tenure. I can now save and invest this amount to earn more or repay the loan 30% faster than before. why work longer to make the bank richer at your cost ?
If interested in saving money with lower interest u too can contact rohit (0) 99 -80-80-7164

Notional rent will be lowest aceptable in the locality in which ur house is situated.
you can get 1.5 lacs deduction on self occupied property and no limits on interest on second property after deducting it from second house rent (actual or notional if vacant or self occupied. )

Mr. Natarajan,
I have two properties (i.e. flats) and both of them are rented out. I am claiming interest deduction on both the houses. Is this fine? I am showing rental income from both the properties. I myself stay in a Rented house.

No, you can avail income tax benefit fron the date you have been given possession of flat officially by builder.

are you sure? I thought you can deduct interest (pre EMI) only even if you dont get the possession. But after getting possession you can deduct both principle and Int, both. Now I'm not sure after readuing your post.

You can add the Pre emi for the financial year when you get the flat possession. i.e., If u get the Flat by Dec '11, then from Mar '11 to Dec '11 Pre emi can be claimed along with ur emi.

Yes you can do like that ie, claiming the benefit for full financial year even though you are getting possession in December. But you cannot claim the benefit unless the possession of flat is given to uou.
