• Home loan closure effect on 80c deduction

Question 1: I have got my home loan sanctioned / disbursed during f.y 2012-13, and first emi started during f.y. 2014-15.  If I close this home loan during this f.y. 2017-18, is there any impact on the principle and interest deductions I have claimed in my IT assessment so far.  
Question 2: I have taken this home loan for self occupied property, now I am relocating for job purpose and intend to go for a new home loan to buy a home in my new place of work, is having 2 home loan is beneficial or closing the earlier loan and keeping only 1 home loan is beneficial from income tax perspective.  I intend to give my present self occupied home on rent.

Hi,

1. It will not have any impact on earlier claimed deduction.

2. From income tax perspective, if you have two loans, you will pay more interest and hence more deduction.

There will be confusion while filing ITR if you have single loan against two properties because interest had to be claimed property wise.

It's better to have two separate loans.

Yes, it is possible. You can do so. Please mention the he share of both the owners in the property very clearly. Share should be in the ratio of investment made by each of you.

Please feel free to call/ revert in case you need more clarity.
