Maximum Limit of deduction under section 24b
1) In Let Out Property/Deemed to be Let Out – No maximum limit
2) Self Occupied House (SOP) – Rs. 2,00,000. (1,50,000 for A.y 2014-15 and before)
In the following cases the above limit of Rs 2,00,000 for SOP shall be reduced to Rs. 30,000
– Loan borrowed before 01-04-1999 for any purpose related to house property. – Loan borrowed after 01-04-1999 for any purpose other than construction or acquisition. – If construction/acquisition is not completed within 5 years from the end of the financial year (3 years till financial year 2015-16) in which capital was borrowed.
In your case construction was completed within 5 Years on Loan so Rs. 200000 Deduction is allowed.
