You can get tax break on home renovation loan
Financial Express Hyderabad

YOUR QUERIES: INCOME TAX
-
•Will a loan under home renovation qualify for tax break under Section 80C and Section 24 under the old tax regime?
A loan taken specifically for renovation or repair of an existing house is eligible for deduction under Section 24(b). The deduction is capped to an aggregate of ₹30,000 if the property is self-occupied. However, principal repayment of such a renovation loan does not qualify for deduction under Section 80C, since the benefit under Section 80C applies only to loans taken for purchase or construction of a residential property.
• Will movable and non-movable assets received as inheritance under a Will be taxable in the hands of the recipient?
