Tax Benefits on Multiple Home Loans in India: Rules and Limits Explained
In India, individuals can own multiple residential properties and take multiple home loans without legal restrictions. Tax benefits on home loans are available for both self-occupied and let-out properties, but with limits. Under the old tax regime, interest deduction for self-occupied properties is capped at Rs 2 lakh annually across all such properties. Losses from house property income can be set off against other income up to Rs 2 lakh per year, with excess losses carried forward. Section 80C deductions have a combined limit of Rs 1.5 lakh per year. The new tax regime offers limited deductions for home loans.
