ONI am due to retire in a month and have outstanding loan of more than 6 lakhs. Since the current interest rate is too high, I am planning to prepay it. Can i avail income tax benefit on this? Alternatively, Can I ask my son to repay it in one lump sum. he is not co-owner. will he get tax benefits. Please suggest good solutions. Thanks in advance.

Dear Platty, as your son is not co-owner, he can not claim any tax benefit on home loan. If you prepay, your loan liability ‘ll become zero that’s your only benefit.
Thanks
