Dear Friend, answer to your third question is as follows: He has received rent of Rs. 1,20,000 so it is charteable under the head House property. As regards the payment of Rs. 3,00,000 as EMI, he has to divide it into two parts i.e interest element and the principal repayment. Now interest amount is deductible u/s. 24(b)irrespective of the amount involved and as regards payment of principal component he can claim deduction u/s.80 C, but subject to the overall limit of Rs. 1,00,000.
