A taxpayer can increase his/her tax saving and lower his/her income tax liability by using the benefit of provisions relating to deductions/exemptions from taxable income under various sections of Income Tax Act.
Let’s find out how a taxpayer can do maximum tax saving
Buying a home in Joint Name will help buyer save taxes in the following way: -
For a self-occupied property, a deduction of upto Rs. 2lakh is allowed on the interest of home loan.

This unabsorbed loss will be carried forward and set off over an eight-year period.
