A home loan becomes a crucial factor to consider when choosing between the old and new tax regimes. Suneel Dasari, founder and CEO of EZTax.in, explains that individuals with a home loan can benefit from deductions under Section 24 and Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. This means they can claim deductions up to Rs 4,00,000, including interest of Rs 2 lakh, 80C deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh, and standard deduction of Rs 50,000.
