Deductions for Interest on Housing Loans
For self occupied properties, interest paid on a housing loan up to Rs 1,50,000 per year is exempted from tax. However, this is only applicable for a residence constructed within three financial years after the loan is taken and also the loan if taken after April 1, 1999.
