How to avail tax benefits on a gold loan 


Gold loans are a popular choice for those seeking quick and hassle-free funding. They offer high-value financing along with multiple repayment options, making it easier to manage large expenses without strain. What many people do not realise is that there can be tax benefits linked to gold loans in certain cases.


The eligibility for such benefits depends on how you use the borrowed funds and the total loan amount. For example, using the loan for specific purposes like education, may qualify you for deductions under applicable tax laws. Understanding these possibilities can help you make smarter financial decisions. Here are some common situations where a gold loan borrower could potentially enjoy tax exemptions.


What are the tax benefits of gold loan?


If you have ever wondered whether a gold loan can actually help you save on taxes, the answer is yes – in some cases. While a gold loan is mainly seen as a quick way to arrange funds, certain uses of the loan can unlock tax benefits for you. Here is a simple breakdown of when and how you can claim them.


1. Home improvement financing: If you are using your gold loan to give your home a facelift, you may qualify for tax exemptions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This applies to the principal amount repaid, with a maximum annual limit of Rs. 1.5 lakh. It covers all kinds of home repairs, replacements, and improvement works.

2. Buying or constructing a residential property: Under Section 24, you can claim up to Rs. 2 lakh a year in tax deductions on the interest paid if your gold loan is used to buy or build a self-occupied home.

3. Business expenses: When your gold loan is used for business purposes, the interest you pay can be treated as a deductible business expense.

4. Buying other assets: If the loan is used to purchase an asset (other than property), you can claim tax benefits in the year you sell that asset. The interest paid is treated as part of the acquisition cost.


Remember, the loan amount itself is not taxable as it is not considered income.
