A home loan is a secured loan that is obtained to purchase a property by offering it as collateral. Home loans offer high-value funding at economical interest rates and for long tenures. They are repaid through EMIs. After repayment, the property's title is transferred back to the borrower. A Home Loan allows you to claim income tax deductions on the interest and principal amount due. Under the Income Tax Act, 1961, as per Section 80C, you can claim up to INR 1.5 lakh on principal repayments, and up to INR 2 lakh on interest repayments under Section 24B.
