Home loan tax benefits: kitna farak padta hai?

₹85 lakh ka 2BHK in Sector 150... that's a huge EMI burden na? I'm looking at properties, maybe a Godrej project there, aur honestly, it's a lot of money. My CA friend recently told me about Section 24 and 80C for home loans. Matlab, interest pe deduction, principal pe deduction... I had no idea it makes such a difference. Pehle lagta tha bas loan le lo, but ye tax benefits can actually save a good chunk. Has anyone here properly used these? Kya real savings hoti hain for a first-time buyer? Aur koi aur tax hack hai jo log miss karte hain?
