Dear Freinds,
One person having 2 houses, one is self occupied and another is let out property.
So Intereset on loan to taken to construct the self occupied house is up to Rs. 150000 and for let out property, we can claim interest on loan taken without any limit.
So, can we claim the repayment of loan taken for construction of self occupied and let out property as a deduction u/'s 80C.
or
80 C deduction only on self occupied and not for let out property.
Kindly let us know.
Thank you.
