I am planning to buy an electric car with SBI assured car loan (@rate 9.6%). I am planning to keep enough funds as FD in SBI (@rate 7.5%) in order to get 20 Lakh car loan for a tenure of 60 months and to pay the EMI from its interest. I understand that I can save tax under 80EEB for the interest I am paying for the electric car loan. I unable to work out the mathematics. Can some one advise which one will be economical for me, whether to go with this arrangement (loan on FD and getting tax rebate) or buy the car by paying cash directly? I am a senior citizen. Annual income INR 800,000/- from LIC annuity schemes, FDs and Rentals

Under new tax regime your total tax liability would be just Rs. 35,000/- +cess While the difference in interest paid over loan to FD is more than Rs. 45,000/-
