I didn't have down payment of 20Lacs so couldn't buy home in navi mumbai so what if I buy home at Karad will i be able to claim HRA and home loan.Also if I bought new house after 3-4 years in navi mumbai can i claim tax benefit for both loans

Ans: If you buy a home in Karad, you can claim tax benefits on a home loan, but you may not be eligible to claim House Rent Allowance (HRA). Here's an explanation:

Home Loan Benefits: If you purchase a house in Karad and take a home loan for that property, you can claim tax benefits on the loan under the following sections:

a. Deduction on Home Loan Interest (Section 24(b)): You can claim a deduction on the interest paid on the home loan up to Rs. 2 lakh per financial year, subject to certain conditions.

b. Deduction on Principal Repayment (Section 80C): You can claim a deduction on the principal repayment of the home loan under Section 80C, up to a maximum limit of Rs. 1.5 lakh per financial year, along with other eligible investments.

House Rent Allowance (HRA): HRA is a benefit provided to salaried individuals who live in a rented house. If you own a house in Karad and reside in it, you may not be eligible to claim HRA, as you are not paying rent.

Tax Benefits for a New House in Navi Mumbai: If you buy a new house in Navi Mumbai after 3-4 years, you can claim tax benefits on the home loan for that property as well. The tax benefits mentioned earlier (deduction on home loan interest and principal repayment) can be claimed for both properties separately, subject to the prescribed limits and conditions.
