Hi, I have taken a home-loan for a house in Chennnai and I am employed in Bangalore. Now, I get a deduction of 1.5L on my taxable income. If i declare that i have "Let out" this one to my parents for a nominal rent, can i get more deduction? ~ Vinodh

In a way you are right.if house is on rent,deduction of interest is allowed without any limit.

Hi Amitabh The deduction of interest is allowed with out any limit for let out property. But that should be claimed only on filing return of income. Your employer cannot give deduction for property which is let out.

That is OK.But at least the interest will be allowed,even if you claim it in your return.In case of self occupied property,interest beyond rs 1.50 lacs is not allowed.And,in case even after deduction of interest,your income from house property stays positive,you only will have to pay tax,there is no question of any return fromincome tax department.

No need. You are eligible for a deduction of Rs. 1.5 lakhs and live on rent in Bangalore. You are eligible for HRA as well as deduction on that, becuase its impossible for you to stay in Chennai and work in Bangalore.
