Loaned Income Tax Benefits: When you buy a vehicle on loan, you can earn a rebate of up to Rs 1.5 lakh. You will be excluded from paying income tax under a new rule.
Electric vehicles are not only better for the environment, but also better than gasoline-powered automobiles. Due to the rising cost of gasoline and diesel, a growing number of people are opting for electric vehicles. Electric automobiles are less expensive to operate than gasoline ones. If you wish to buy an electric vehicle, you can obtain a significant tax break.
You can also get a significant loan discount. According to Income Tax laws, if a person buys a car, he does not qualify for a tax exemption on the loan because the car is a luxury item. Customers who purchase electric vehicles can now take advantage of the new section 80EEB, which exempts loans from income tax. In fact, the Indian government has established a new section 80EEB to encourage people to switch from conventional to electric vehicles.
According to a report on our partner website DNA, an interest subsidy of up to Rs 1.5 lakh will be available on electric vehicle purchases made with a loan under section 80EEB. Electric vehicles, both two-wheelers, and four-wheelers are eligible for this tax break.
