| The Extracts of section 24(b) are as follows:
"where the property has been acquired, constructed, repaired, renewed or reconstructed with borrowed capital, the amount of any interest payable on such capital"
If you are able to justify that both the loans have been taken for the construction of your house then you can claim interest deduction for both the loans. Moreover, if for the first loan, the construction gets completed before 31.03.14(assuming loan was disbursed to you on 01.04.2010) then you can claim upto Rs.150000 for the first loan and then upto Rs.30000 for the second loan. However the total must not exceed Rs.150000. Moreover, if you have taken loan from any specified financial institution under Section 80 then you can also claim the benefit of repayment of principal amount subject to a maximum of Rs.100000 during the year. You should also understand that the deduction under section 24(b) is allowed on accrual basis(provided the construction is completed) and deduction u/s 80C is allowed on cash basis i.e. when you actually repay the principal amount.
Hope you find this information useful for your purposes. |
