Tax benefit on a ₹55 lakh home loan

In year 1 at 7.40% over 20 years you pay about ₹4,02,822 as interest and ₹1,24,841 as principal. Under the old tax regime, interest on a self-occupied home is deductible up to ₹2 lakh a year and principal repayment up to ₹1.5 lakh a year (Sections 24(b) and 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961; the same limits continue under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27). The new tax regime does not allow these deductions for a self-occupied home.
