Section 80D of Income Tax allows you to claim income tax benefits. Let’s try to check out detail about Section 80D and Health Insurance.
Health-related problems or medical emergencies can arise anytime. If you are not prepared to withstand a health emergency, you will need to spend money from your pocket. Recently my friend was diagnosed with skin cancer. He was not covered with any health insurance. He spent hefty 2.3 Lakh from his pocket. His entire saving was spent on the treatment.
The learning from this example is one should always buy an adequate health insurance policy, which can help them in a health emergency. Our Government also encourages people to buy sufficient medical insurance policy. You can get tax benefits under Section 80 D for the premium paid for the health insurance policy.

Section 24 & 80EE of the income tax act provides deduction in respect of home loan interest.

Important points U/s 24B & U/s 80EE 

1) Interest on housing loan is allowable as the deduction on accrual basis not on paid basis (even if account books are kept on the cash basis) if capital is borrowed for the purpose of purchase, construction, repair, renewal or reconstruction of the house property. The deduction can be claimed for two or more housing loans.
2)Interest includes service fees, brokerage, commission, prepayment charges etc.
3)Interest/penalty on unpaid interest shall not be allowed as deduction.
4)The deduction shall be allowed irrespective of the nature of loan whether it is housing loan or personal loan from any person/institution.
5) If a person instead of raising a loan from a third party pays sale price to the seller in installments along with interest than such interest is also allowable.
6) Interest on borrowed money which is payable outside India shall not be allowed as deduction under section 24(b), unless the tax on the same has been paid or deducted at source and in respect of which there is no person in India, who may be treated as an agent of the recipient for such purpose.
7) For claiming deduction under this section, the assessee must be the owner or deemed owner of the house property and loan shall be in the assessee name.

Maximum Limit of deduction under section 24B

These limits of deduction are applicable assessee wise and not property wise. Therefore if an assessee owns two or more house property then the total deduction for that assessee remain same.
1) In Let Out Property/Deemed to be Let Out – No maximum limit
2) Self Occupied House (SOP) – Rs. 2,00,000. (1,50,000 for A.y 2014-15 and before)
In the following cases, the above limit of Rs 2,00,000 for SOP shall be reduced to Rs. 30,000
– Loan borrowed before 01-04-1999 for any purpose related to house property.

– Loan borrowed after 01-04-1999 for any purpose other than construction or acquisition.
– If construction/acquisition is not completed within 5 years from the end of the financial year (3 years till the financial year 2015-16) in which capital was borrowed. For example, a loan is obtained for construction/acquisition on 28 Oct 2011 then the deduction limit should reduce to Rs 30,000 if the construction/acquisition completes after 31 March 2017.

Also  Extra Deduction of Rs. 1,50,000 on Home Loan Interest under Section 80EE w.e.f. 1/4/2016

Interest for pre-construction/acquisition period

Interest for pre-construction/acquisition period is allowable in 5 equal installments beginning from the year of completion of house property. This deduction is not allowable if the loan is utilized for repairs, renewal or reconstruction.
Pre-Construction/Acquisition period starts from the date of borrowing and ends on the last day of preceding Financial Year in which the construction is completed. For example, if house property is completed on 21st March 2012 then the deduction is allowed from Financial Year 2011-2012 to 2015-16.

Deduction in case of Co-borrower

If the home loan is taken on joint names then the deduction is allowed to each co-borrower in proportion to his share in the loan. For taking such deduction it is necessary that such co-borrower must also be co-owner of that property. If the assessee is a co-owner but is repaying the full loan himself, then he can claim the deduction of full interest paid by him.

The limit of deduction in case of Self occupied property applies individually to each co-borrower . In other words, each co-borrower can claim deduction up to Rs. 2 lakh/Rs. 30,000. No limit is  applicable to let out property.

Interest Deduction with HRA

HRA  under section 10(13A) and interest deduction can be availed simultaneously even if house property is in the same city in which you resides on rented property.

Form 12BB is to be filed with employer if you want your employer to take deduction under this section into consideration and thus deduct lower TDS
