Tax Benefits of NRI Home Loans

Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, NRIs are eligible for tax benefits on home loans if they file income tax returns in India. This tax deduction is for the interest component of the home loan and the principal component.

If your home for which you have taken the home loan for is lying vacant in India, you can avail the following tax benefits on your home loan:

Interest component: Deduction of up to Rs.2 lakh on the interest amount repayments

Principal component: Deduction of up to Rs.1.5 lakh on the principal amount repayments

If the home has been rented out, then the entire interest payable component can be claimed as a tax deduction on your home loan.
