Hi!

I have a self-occupied flat since last three years. My housing loan was from ICICI bank. I withdrew Rs. 1.50 lakh from my EPF account for repayment of housing loan and repaid Rs. 1.75 lakh. Balance loan amount got tranferred to Indian Bank.

My question is wether i will be able to claim tax rebate on the entire amount of repayment of housing loan of Rs. 1.75 lakh or otherwise. Please guide.
