Fast Guide to File Income Tax Return Without Form 16

The due date for filing ITR for AY 2019-20 is down the pike. Taxpayers are compiling various documents to file an ITR with correct figures. Most of the businessmen have hired professionals and purchased taxation & accounting software for e-file ITRs effortlessly and errorlessly. Salaried individuals are also under an obligation to file ITRs by using Form 16.
Form 16 is not only a basic document but an ad hoc for the salaried individuals for filing the income tax returns (ITR). Filing an ITR without Form 16 is beyond the bounds of possibility for salaried individuals.

In a few cases, salaried individuals do not get Form 16 for a specific year. The reason for the same can be shut down of the business by the employer, termination from a job before the time mentioned in the bond, or job change without completing the exit formalities.
In such cases when the salaried individual so not have Form 16, he/she needs to give many other documents as reference or endorsement to e-filing Income tax return.

Here we are presenting a step-by-step guide for salaried people to e-file an ITR in without Form 16.

Step 1: Computation of Income From Salary

Salary slips are the major source of information for the calculation of income from salary. Make sure to acquire monthly pay-slips from all the HR managers or employers of the organization you have worked for in the year. For this year as well, you will need to present the entire break-up of your income from salary.

Income from salary includes Gross salary (Salary in accordance with Section 17(1), Value of Perquisites, Profit in lieu of Salary, Allowances exempt u/s 10, Standard Deductions – Deductions u/s 16, Entertainment allowance (only for government employees) and Professional tax.

Generally, salary slips have all the figures except the amount of profit in lieu of salary and the value of perquisites as in many instances, the company does not furnish these figures in salary slips. So in such cases, one may request the HR or finance department to issue Form 12BA – The form which constitutes the details of the value of perquisites and amount of profit in lieu of salary given to the employee by the employer.

In addition to the information stated above, the salary slips contain the amount of all the allowances paid to the employee, tax deducted at source (TDS), the amount deducted towards provident fund (PF), etc.

Some Beneficial Points in this Regard:

  • Ensure to use the allowances that reduce your tax liabilities such as LTA, HRA, etc.
  • Compute the allowances, well-considering the partially exempt and fully exempt allowance.
  • Mention the tax-exempted allowances in ITR.
  • Avail the standard deduction of Rs 40,000 u/s 16 (ia) for the present year.

Step 2: Reconcilement of the deducted TDS with Form 26AS

Form 26AS encompasses the complete information of the TDS which is deducted on the salary income as well as on other incomes. So, the TDS amount present in the Form 26AS should not be matched with the individual sources such as salary slips for the TDS deducted on salary, TDS/interest certificate for TDS on fixed deposits (FDs), etc. However, the number of TDS deducted should be cross-checked with the TDS figures shown in Form 26AS. In case of any mismatch, the salaried individual should get in touch with the specific deductor.

Step 3: Computation of Income From House Property

The income generated from letting the house property on rent comes under this head. When you give a house owned by you on rent, the income which comes as rent is termed as rental income. And if you have availed any house loan on the property which you have given on rent or self-occupied property and you are paying interest on that house loan, then the deduction of the same can be availed and comes under this head.

Further, when an individual is an owner of two or more houses, he/she first needs to review the deemed let-out factor. If the individual is the one who is generating the rental income, then he/she is eligible to avail a flat deduction of 30 percent along with deduction of municipal tax from his/her rental income (if paid any).

Step 4: Computation of Income From Capital Gains

For computing the capital gains, an individual should get a summary statement from his/her broker for the gains from the sale of equities or equity-oriented mutual funds and should get the purchase and sale deed ready for the gains from the sale of land or building. The capital gain is exempt up to the limit of Rs. 1 lakh if it is held for a period exceeding a year and was sold out in FY 2018-19.

Note: One Can Not File a Tax Return Using ITR-1 When:

  • A) He/she has sold equity mutual funds and/or equity shares in FY 2018-19;
  • B) He/she is the owner of more than one house property.
  • C) He/she is holding investments in unlisted shares;

In the above-mentioned cases, an individual must e-file online ITR-2 or ITR-3.

Step 5: Computation of Income From Other Sources

Income from other sources constitutes the income earned as interest on various bank deposits such as FDs, savings, recurring or term deposits and interest on income tax refund, etc.

For this, one can consider his/her bank passbook which showcases the interest income and Form 26AS which displays interest on an income tax refund.

Note: This year an individual needs to state the source of interest income also from the drop-down menu which is present in the ITR form.

Step 6: Claim All The Deductions

Section 80C and 80D of the Income Tax Act provides various deductions for the individuals. Deduction for the PF, Life insurance, Equity-linked savings schemes, principal repayment of home loan etc can be claimed along with appropriate evidence u/s 80C, while deductions like medical insurance premium can be claimed u/s 80D.

The stated limit up to which a deduction under section 80C can be claimed is up to Rs 1.5 lakh. Similarly, other deductions also have prescribed limit up to which it can be availed.

Step 7: Calculation of Total Taxable Income

This is near to the final step in which the deductions are subtracted from the total income generated from various sources to get the final figure which is the total taxable income.

Step 8: Calculation of Income Tax Liability

Now the income tax liability applicable to the total taxable income is ascertained. It can be calculated with the use of an income tax calculator.

Step 9: Pay Additional Tax (if any)

When the total tax liability comes out to be more than the amount of tax already paid following the Form 26AS, then the remaining tax liability which is the additional obligation should be paid to the IT department.

Step 10: e-File Your Income Tax Return

This is the final destination to e-file an income tax return in the absence of Form 16. Make sure to e-verify it within the time-frame of 120 days of filing.

Wrapping Up: Although Form 16 is a prerequisite for a salaried individual to file an ITR, there is another way to file ITR when Form 16 for the year is not available with you. For that, you just to have the above-mentioned documents and follow the above mentioned step-by-step process. Keep in mind the due dates for filing ITR online and defend paying late filing fees u/s 234F for ITRs.

CAG Questions GST Compliance Over Exposed to ITC Frauds

CAG GST Fraud Alert

This ‘One Nation One Tax’ regime was initiated for the first time in the nation on 1 July 2017 and has completed 2 years of existence. Even after two years, GST governance lacks a definite blueprint of input tax credit system (ITC) says CAG reports. Not only this, the digitized e-tax filing system is still a tedious task for the fillers, said reports on the desks of the Parliament. No doubt, GST was introduced in the nation with good intentions but now the system has become exposed to ITC frauds.

The current GST compliance arrangement cannot work without proper invoice matching procedures, auto-generation of refunds and tax assessments, etc. the initiative has to be taken by the concerned authority to alter the prevailing scenario of tax compliance in the country. The key players of the tax system such as Department of Revenue (DoR), Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) and GSTN must co-ordinate and bring GST tax compliance to proper functionality.

In a written statement, Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur replied to the parliament saying, tax authorities have unveiled tax frauds worth Rs 45,682.83 crore under GST in last 2 years.

As per the data extracted from the government’s desk, Rs 6520.40 crore fraud was identified in the April to June period of the financial year 2019-20. In the last two years, the total number of 9,385 cases of GST frauds were brought to the limelight. 
GST rising under BJP-led governance is undoubtedly a promising tax structure, but it still needs more rigidity and applicability.

All About Latest PAN Card Rules of Budget-19 to Avoid Penalties

Latest PAN Card Rules of Budget 2019

Permanent Account Number (PAN) is marching forward towards becoming an inevitable number for any transaction or deal made by an individual. Time is approaching when there is a need to link all the transactions with the Income Tax Department through PAN.

PAN basically assists the tax authorities in identifying an individual or a corporate body which is getting into a deal or making a transaction. Transactions may be a tax payment, money withdrawal, cash deposition or encashment of amount deposited in the bank for any deal.

Budget 2019 has proposed some changes and inclusion in the current PAN associated rules and provisions. We are highlighting the four most important of them which one must be acquainted with.

Here we go for the new PAN related norms which will become effective post the Budget 2019 announcement:

Effect of Not linking PAN with Aadhaar

At present, u/s 139AA (2), the PAN issued to an individual shall be considered ‘invalid’, if the individual is unsuccessful in intimating the Aadhaar number. However, when a person is unsuccessful in intimating the Aadhaar number and fails to link PAN with Aadhaar, the PAN card will deem to be inoperative.

Note: 30th September 2019 is the due date to link PAN with Aadhaar.

As per Budget 2019, the word ‘invalid’ will be replaced with ‘Inoperative’, on 1st September 2019.

Equivalence of PAN and Aadhaar for ITR Filing

For filing of ITR, a PAN linked with Aadhaar is an ad hoc. But in cases when someone doesn’t hold a PAN, Budget 2019 has proposed to permit the use of Aadhar number in place of PAN. According to the proposal, any person who needs to quote his PAN under the legal section but he doesn’t have any PAN and possesses only the Aadhaar number, may furnish or quote the Aadhaar number in place of PAN. PAN will be issued to the person based on Aadhar details.

Involuntary Quoting of PAN in Statutory Stated Deals 

Having PAN is indispensable in some cases like when the income of an individual exceeds the basic exemption limit, when ITR has to be filed or when the turnover of a business exceeds Rs 5 lakh. In other cases, PAN is not mandatory.

However, the government has been witnessing that in multiple instances when people are engaging in high-value transactions like the purchase of foreign currency or withdrawal of hefty amount from the banks, they do not hold a PAN.

So to keep an audit record of these transactions and for expanding the tax base, Budget 2019 proposed to add a new clause (vii) in section 139A (1) which makes it makes it mandatory for every person, who is willing to enter into some statutorily stated deals and do not hold a PAN, to apply for a PAN allotment.

TDS Deduction for Professional Service

As per the new Permanent Account Number (PAN) rule, you will need to deduct the TDS before making payment when you appoint a professional contractor, designer or an architect for the construction or renovation of your home. The new rule counts in any professional service availed for personal purpose, so now the TDS has to be deducted before making the payment for such professional service and deposited with the government using the professional’s PAN. At present, TDS need not be deducted when payment is made for professional services availed for personal use.

Further, if the individual is engaged in business or profession which is not accountable for audit, there is no need to deduct TDS even when the payment is made business or profession purpose.

However, the government realised that because of this exemption, a good amount of monetary payment made by individuals for the professional service or the contractual work creates a loophole for levying TDS which leads to tax evasion.

So to seal this escape, Budget 2019 has proposed to include a new section 194M in the Act to levy 5% TDS on the amount paid for the contractual work or professional services by a person if such amount goes above Rs 50 lakh in a year.

At the same time to lessen the compliance, it is also proposed that such persons will be needed to acquire the Tax deduction Account Number (TAN) and will be allowed to deposit the tax deducted with their PAN and the PAN of professional.

These are the mutation which will be introduced in the rules and regulations which are related to PAN. It is always advantageous to be on board with the upcoming changes so that it will not feel like clash on later dates when they will finally step on the legal paths. Further penalties and mistakes can be averted easily if you move parallel with the latest notifications and norms.

Important Factors for UIN Entities While GST Refund Process

UIN-Entities GST Refund Process

The GST ACT allows foreign entities like Consulates, Embassies and other UN organizations who have made their roots in India to claim the GST which they paid. Such entities cannot be given a GSTIN number because they are not registered in India. Instead of it, they are given a UIN (Unique Identification Number) number and because of this, they are known as UIN entities.

This UIN number is only given to those entities who file invoice level data in the GSTR 11 form which is present in the government official GST portal. GST authorities noticed some common differences when they were processing the refund applications. So after knowing about these differences, they thought of reducing them due to which CBIC furnished notices regarding the GST Refunds in December 2018 and among them one was for the UIN entities.

UIN Entities – Things to Note While Processing GST Refunds

In GSTR 11 Form, for every invoice, the “Place of Supply” must be reported in the form which is applied for a refund according to the CGST rule. But many UIN entities were reporting the wrong place as “place of supply” i.e. their registered state while filing their invoice instead of original “place of supply”.

For example- if a place of supply is taken from Rajasthan but the place of supply is reported as Mumbai because the embassies are registered in Mumbai which is wrong. The place of supply must be Rajasthan.

Why This is Important?

It is important because, under the GST law, the charge of the invoice is done by the IGST or CGST / SGST as per the place of supply.

  • If the place of supply is intra-state, then CGST and SGST are charged.
  • If the place of supply is inter-state, then only IGST is charged.

So it is very important that the place of supply while reporting in GSTR 11 Form and the CGST / SGST or IGST charge-ability on the invoice must be entered as per the details are given in the invoice which was issued by the supplier of good or services. If it is done wrong, then the processing will take more time or even the GST refund claimed by the UIN entities can be rejected.

Ather Energy Offers Benefit to Customers of Reduced GST Rates on EV

Ather Energy Benefit to Customers

Not later than a few years, there will be a resonance of ‘Electric Vehicles‘ everywhere in Indian Markets. One of the electric vehicle manufacturers in India, Ather Energy conveys that it will give the entire benefits to its customers of reduced GST rates entirely supporting the government’s initiative to lower the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate on electric vehicles to 5% from 12% earlier.

The reduction in GST rates will surely increase the demand for its electric vehicles in the market and to pick up with that, the company has already started stressing upon the manufacturing of the vehicles.

This considerable curb in the GST rates for electric vehicles will reduce the sticker price of its scooters by 8,000 to 10,000, eventually bringing down the rates of these electric vehicles closer to its oil-consuming equivalents. Ather Energy’s 450 scooter costs Rs. Rs 1,22,647 after Rs. 27,000 subsidy from the government. The company is gearing up with its production and is expecting everything to settle by the start of next year. For now, the company reaching out to the vendors where the range is less and even investing to increase production.

The company targets to produce 25,000 vehicles by the first quarter of the next FY from its own manufacturing units. They are even looking out for ways to compass outside their own units.

On a good note, the cost of Electric Scooters will come closer to its other counterparts because of the reduction in GST rates, which will involve many to buy electric scooters over petrol-driven vehicles.

Step by Step Guide to File XBRL Annual Report in MCA 21 System on Portal

File XBRL Annual Report in MCA 21 System

In this article, you will learn the step-by-step process for filing XBRL annual report through the online MCA 21 System at the government portal. Here we will go through all those steps necessary for the filing of the annual report in the MCA 21 system.

  • Step 1: Creation of XBRL instance document
  • Step 2: Download XBRL validation tool from the MCA portal
  • Step 3: Use the tool to validate the instance document
  • Step 4: Perform pre-scrutiny of the validated instance document through the tool
  • Step 5: Attach instance document to the Form 23AC and Form 23ACA
  • Step 6: Submitting the Form 23ACA and Form 23ACA on the MCA portal

Step 1 – Create an XBRL Instance Document

Creation of the XBRL instance document further involves the following three steps:

  • Map company’s each financial statement element to a corresponding element in published taxonomy
  • Create instance document for Balance sheet and Profit and loss Account
  • Review and verify the instance document

A. Map company’s each financial statement element to a corresponding element in published taxonomy: 

Two options are available for the companies to create XBRL documents: In house creation and appointment of the third party for the conversion of the company’s financial statements in XBRL form. In the former option, the XBRL taxonomy elements are tagged under different accounting heads in the company’s books of accounts. Now the mapping of the taxonomy elements with the accounting heads will be done for the conversion of accounting information into XBRL form. (Mapping refers to the process of comparison between the concepts in the financial statements and the elements in the published taxonomy wherein a taxonomy element is assigned to each concept of financial statements.) 

Selection of relevant elements for the elements of financial statement demands considerable knowledge and expertise. The mapping should be properly checked and examined before stepping ahead as the entire reporting is based on the mapping. For tagging or capturing. The details available in brackets in the labels by the company can either be presented as footnotes or the detailed tags, if available. The details available in the financial statements for which corresponding tag/element is not available in the taxonomy can be presented in the next best suitable element in the taxonomy or can be presented under the corresponding ‘Others’ element. It is mandatory to include footnote for the same during the preparation of the instance document.

B. Create instance document for Balance sheet and Profit and loss Account:

Next step is to create the instance document for Balance sheet and Profit and loss account. An instance document refers to an XML file that constitutes business reporting details and financial facts, represented in the form of tags from the XBRL taxonomy. Instance documents need to be created separately for Stand-Alone Balance sheet and  Profit and Loss Account of the company as well as for the Consolidated Balance sheet and Profit and Loss Account of the company and should encompass the financial data for the current and the previous financial year. Few noteworthy points to be kept in mind while creating the instance document :

1. In the instance document, the value of the xlink: href attribute in the schemaRef element must be http://www.mca.gov.in/XBRL/2011/08/27/Taxonomy/CnI/ci/in-gaap-ci-2011-03-31.xsd
2. The design of an XBRL instance document must be valid as per the schemas in the DTS (Discoverable Taxonomy Set)
3.  The value of the scheme attribute of the identity element in the context should be http://www.mca.gov.in/CIN
4. The value of the identity element in the context must all be x-equal and must be the CIN of the company
5. Context  must not contain segment/ scenario element
6. An instance should not have duplicate xbrli: context elements
7. Every xbrli:context element must appear in at least one contextRef attribute in the same instance
8. An instance should not contain more than one fact with the similar element name and equivalent contextRef attributes
9. All monetary figures and facts should have the same unitRef attribute. However, the monetary values for the subsidiary information such as share capital, reserves etc. can be reported in a different currency and so they can have the different unitRef attribute
10. Data analogous to one single concept must not have contextRef attributes relating to contexts with the coinciding time frame periodType=”instant”, depicts the same date
periodType=”duration”,depicts the same duration that coincides
For further understanding, we are presenting some contexts having coinciding/ overlapping duration (which is disallowed).
11. A link:footnoteLink element must have only – link:loc, link:footnote, and link:footnoteArc
12. A link:footnoteLink link:loc xlink:href attribute must mandatory begin with sign “#”
13. Every nonempty link:footnote element should be linked to a minimum of one fact
14. Insignificant digits for numerical facts must have to be =  “0″
15. An instance document must not have unused units
16. When an unescaped content of a fact with base type nonnum: escapedItemType have the “<” character pursued by a QName & whitespace, “/>” or “>”, then the un-escaped content must have only a sequence of text & XML nodes
17. Only the plain text is allowed for the value of a fact. HTML/RTF is disallowed
18. A fact should have a footnote if it contains an id attribute and a link:footnoteArc to a nonempty link:footnote in the same instance
19. Filings must have reference to recognized files at the definitive URI locations. A reference to a local copy is disallowed
20. ContextRef attribute with values x-equal to each other is a must have for the sub-elements in a tuple in an instance
21. The xsi:nil=”true” attribute must be utilised just to convey a value which is different from “zero” as well as from not reporting the fact possibly, or to identify a fact particularised solely by a link:footnote
22. The value of the decimals/precision attribute of a fact must relate to the veracity of the analogous amount as furnished in the financial statements
23. The content of numerical figures must not have scale factor
24. While opting the most relevant element for facts in one or more periods, the element’s xbrli:periodType attribute supersedes the type attribute, which in turn supersedes the element’s documentation string, which in turn supersedes the label string, which again supersedes the link:reference elements
25. Never use units that interprets a scale factor for a currency
26. Text displayed in the financial statements at the page’s bottom or at the table’s bottom followed by a superscript must come out as the text of a link:footnote element in the instance
27. Each unit must pop up with only one scale factor in an instance
28. Every numerical fact like a number of shares should have an associated unit (e.g. xbrli:shares) which must be declared
29. All contexts and units must show up before any item/tuple
30. Name of the XBRL document should be exclusive in the disclosure system
31. Filers must follow only one taxonomy which is prescribed as the standard taxonomy in the disclosure system
32. “UTF8“ is a must encoding of all XBRL documents
33. The xbrli:xbrl element must not contain any facts and figures with the precision attribute
34. The selection of element must be in priority as per the following order,
35.  Period type, data type, documentation, label and reference

HTML Guidelines are as follows:

It should be noted that the XBRL content will be concluded in diversified media kinds (encompassing print media, HTML viewer, small screen digital machines and so on). It is needed that the embedded HTML is well rendered in each one of the media kinds. So, it is important that the HTML contents purse the instructions to ensure that the HTML is used just to classify the content. 

Note: The instructions are applicable to the HTML after decoding the value filled in the XML element in the XBRL instance.

A. All tags should be written in the lowercase case and must be properly closed. 
B. The following predefined CSS classes can be used for displaying.

  • header1 – top-level header
  • header2 – next level header
  • header3 – even next level header
  • header4 – even next level header
  • header5 – bottom level header
  • bordered – tag with visible borders
  • unbordered – tag with invisible borders
  • tableHeader – headers of the table
  • tableRow – row in the table
  • tableRowLabel – the label for a row
  • tableRowValue – A value inside a table
  • normalText – Normal text
  • noteText1 – For writing a note level 1 (top-level) [notes are texts that are important
  • to mention, but does not match exactly with the context of the text (not to be confused
  • with XBRL context). The top-level will be shown as the most important]
  • noteText2 – For writing a note level 2
  • noteText3 – For writing a note level 3
  • noteText4 – For writing a note level 4 (bottom level)
  • numericValue – Used for specifying numeric values
  • nonNumericValue – Used for non-numeric text
  • highlightedText1 – Highlighted text level 1 (top-level)
  • highlightedText2 – Highlighted text level 2
  • highlightedText3 – Highlighted text level 3
  • highlightedText4 – Highlighted text level 4 (bottom level)

C. Stating style attribute for HTML tags is disallowed.
D. Tags like <div> and <span> are used for organizing the content.
E. Diversified classes for the one element can be itemised by separating them with space.
F. Only –  <span>,  <div>, <p>, <br>, <td>,<table>, <tr>, <tfoot>,<thead>, <tbody>, <th>,<colgroup>, <col>, ; are allowed . HTML formatting tags such as <b>, <i> etc. are disallowed.

36. For Extended role – [610000] General information about financial statements- The details should be presented according to the below-mentioned classification, in the instance documents
37. The companies need to use the standard taxonomy as published by MCA and no extensions are allowed for the first year. So in these cases, companies need to stringently follow the calculation norms of taxonomy and compute the totals and subtotals in accordance with it to avert calculation inconsistencies and errors.
38. When the value or information are adjusted or integrated to match the calculation relationships ( but actually are different from the company’s financial statements), a footnote showcasing the adjustments should be added.
39. The language attribute for the textual information in the instance document is ‘en’.
40. When the last name of the director is unavailable for the DIN details, then it should be mentioned as the dot(.).It should be noted that in such cases, the element for the last name of the director must be added in the instance document.

C. Check and Correct the instance document: After the preparation, make sure that the instance document is correct and all the information is accurately furnished.

Step 2 – Download XBRL Validation Tool from the MCA portal

XBRL validation tool is provided on the MCA portal to validate the generated XBRL instance document which is an ad hoc for filing the balance sheet and P&L account on MCA portal. In addition, this tool provides a facility to access and search the taxonomy. So, the second step is to download the XBRL validation tool from the MCA portal.

Step 3 –  Validate the Instance Document using an XBRL validation tool

While validating the instance document via an XBRL validation tool, ensure the follow Validate the instance document in compliance with the latest and right version of taxonomy as stated by MCA. Enter all mandatory details. Validate everything in accordance with the taxonomy. 

  • Refer Annexure – I  for – ‘How to interpret validation errors’
  • Refer Annexure – II for – ‘List of common errors’

Step 4: Pre-scrutinise the Certified Instance Document

Pre-scrutinise the certified instance document through the same XBRL validation tool. Ensure to have a working internet connection. Perform Server-side certification means to validate the certified instance document through the MCA 21 system. Use an in-built feature “Viewer” of the XBRL validation tool to validate the appearance/presentation of the generated XBRL instance document. Using the “Viewer” feature is mandatory for firms to ensure the correctness of the instance document.

Step 5: Affix the Instance Document with Form 23AC and Form 23ACA​​​​​​​

Form 23AC and Form 23ACA shall be presented individually on the MCA portal for filing in XBRL form. Fill the Form 23 AC and Form 23 ACA. Affix the certified and pre-scrutinised instance document for the Balance sheet to Form 23 AC. Affix the certified and pre-scrutinised instance document for Profit and Loss account to Form 23 ACA. Affix instance documents separately to the combined financial statements in addition to the individual done in above-mentioned steps.

Step 6: Submit Form 23ACA and Form 23ACA on the MCA Portal

After filling the forms, pre-scrutinise them > sign them >  upload them, following the standard e-Form filing procedure. The affixed instance documents shall be well validated and properly examined via XBRL validation tool. Once submitted in XBRL format on MCA portal, the balance sheet and profit and loss submitted along with Form 23AC and 23ACA are available in machine-readable form, so to view and access them MCA 21 system first need to convert these files into the human-readable format and make these documents available for view.

Tax Benefit on Home Loan Interest & Principle F.Y. 2018-19 (A.Y. 2019-20)

Tax Benefit on Housing Loan

To understand the key tax benefit on a home loan, we are bifurcating the repayment techniques into four major elements- tax benefits on principal repaid, tax benefits on interest paid, deduction on pre-construction interest and section 80EE income tax benefits. The next section will let you know the concept of all in detail.

Tax Benefits on Principal Re-paid

Under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, the maximum deduction allowed for the repayment of the principal amount of home loan is Rs. 1.5 lakh. Deduction under section 80C also includes investments done in the PPF Account,  Equity Oriented Mutual funds, Tax Saving Fixed Deposits, National Savings Certificate, etc. subject to the maximum of Rs. 1.5 lakhs.

Besides this, there are stamp duty and registration charges that one can claim under the aforementioned section. Though, the claim can only take place in the year in which the payment has been made.

Nevertheless, there’s a condition under which this repayment of the principal amount of housing loan is allowed. The deduction is only possible after the house gets entirely completed and there is a completion certificate for the same. Principal amount paid on any under construction structure/property is not going to be a part of this section.

Tax Benefits on Interest Paid

Under section 24 of the Income Tax Act, one can avail the deduction on Home Loan for payment of Interest tax benefit. The self-occupied property allows the deduction with the maximum limit of Rs. 2 lakh if it takes the completion within 5 years from the end of the Financial Year, otherwise the maximum limit is Rs. 30,000.

Interest on housing loan paid for let out property is fully allowed in the relevant assessment year in which it is claimed.

From Assessment year 2018-19, the loss from house property head that will be allowed to be set off from other heads of income will be restricted to Rs 2,00,000 in particular assessment year and the rest amount shall be carried forward for set-off in subsequent years.

Deduction on Pre-construction Interest

You can also claim interest on housing loan paid before completion of construction of the property. It is termed as pre-construction interest. It is allowed in 5 equal installments beginning from the financial year in which the construction is completed. The limit of 2 lacs will also apply for pre-construction interest in case of self-occupied property. However it is fully allowed in case let our property.

Section 80EE Income Tax Benefit

Section 80EE proposes an additional deduction of Rs.50000 in respect of interest on housing loan to the first time house owners who own the house of Rs.50 lakh or less and has taken the home loan amount of less than or equal to Rs.35 lakh. The loan should be sanctioned between April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2017 to claim deduction under this section. This deduction allowed shall be in addition to the interest allowed under section 24(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
