Income tax rebates: Salaried can cut their outgo drastically

........Inclusion of registration and stamp duty fees under 80C not only reduces tax liability, but also saves the property buyer from further cash outgo. Also, an individual who has taken a home loan can avail of deduction towards principal repayment in the financial year. This will be above the R1.5-lakh rebate he gets on the interest amount paid towards the housing loan under Section 24. More importantly, even principal payment towards home loans taken from HUDCO qualifies for exemption under 80C. Also, subscription to the home loan account scheme of the National Housing Bank (NHB), or contributions made by an individual to any notified pension fund set up by NHB, also meet the deduction requirements......
