I have a query with regards to claiming Housing Loan exemption u/s 80C and Sec 24(b):

F.Y 2010-2011

There are 3 Co-owners and Co-borrowers of a Flat.

Out of which EMI is being deducted only from 1^st Holders Bank account.

Now can all of the 3, claim exemption u/s 80C and Sec 24(b) in proportion 1/3^rd Each.

F.Y 2011-2012

EMI is still being deducted only from 1^st Holders Bank account.

Further all the 3 Pre-paid the Housing Loan in Part: Rs. 1,00,000/- each

Now can all of the 3, claim exemption u/s 80C - Rs. 1,00,000/- each

Please can anyone solve this Query?

Thanks in advance

Dear Samir

As per provision of I T Act u/s 24(b) maximum exemption allowed Rs.1,50,000 for interest payment of Loan amount.

& As per provision of I T Act u/s 80C to 80CCE maximum deduction allowed Rs. 1,00,000 for Principal payment of Loan amount.

Thus, as per above provision which u interest paid of loan divided three owners & get exemption u/s 24(b)

Principal paid of Loan divided three owners & get deduction u/s 80C to 80CCE.

- Not possible to claim 80C exemption, for non payees,

- however interest accured is to be claimed by all three,

- 80C deductions are available on payment basis from gross taxable income, if any one has paid the amount, then only the payee is eligible to claim 80C deduction.

Now can all of the 3, claim exemption u/s 80C -1,00,000/- each

- Here the pre payment of housing loan @ 1 L each qualify for 80C

- 1st holder will not be in position to claim the EMI quantam of principal as it exceeds the 80C limit.

- 24(b) is still available on accural/payment basis
