How to optimize taxes on home purchases and loan repayments

Here is a breakdown of expenses I have incurred: In 2023, I made an initial payment of 5.5 lakh as a token amount to builder. I paid ₹4 lakh to the government as stamp duty and other charges. I would like to understand whether these payments can be carried forward for tax exemption in financial year 2024-25, if so, under which sections. Moving to 2024, I paid a 1 lakh instalment to the builder. I also repaid 9 lakh of my home loan principal and ₹2 lakh in interest. I would like to know if I can claim tax benefits for all three payments, and under which sections. Can I carry payments made in 2024 forward to future years for tax saving. Which relevant tax provisions will help me best optimise taxes efficiently?
