All home loan borrowers are required to submit home loan certificates to avail tax deductions to claim tax benefits on the home loan principal and home loan interest repayment under sections 80C and 24 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, respectively


In order to avail of tax benefits on home loan principal and interest repayments under sections 80C and 24 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, all home loan borrowers are mandated to furnish home loan certificates. These certificates serve as essential documentation for taxpayers seeking to claim tax deductions related to their home loan.
