Dear Experts,

-I had purchased a flat in chennai in year 2003 through POA to me father, as I was NRI based in UK at that time. The cost of flat was 20 lacs. There was a housing loan taken for purchase of this property of 25 lacs as it was raw shell (20 lacs towards property + 5 lacs fixtures and furniture). This complete loan was closed in year 2012. I came back to India in 2005 and sold this flat in XXX.

My questions are following:

1) whether the complete interest cost on total loan be added to the cost of purchase, for the purpose of capital gain calculations. This interest cost comes to nearly 10 lacs.

2) Can this interest cost be indexed, as it was paid in several years from 2003 to 2012

3) Or, can I only claim interest on Loan as deduction for period from 2003 to 2005 (during the time I was NRI). I did not file any ITR in this period as there was no factual income in India and also did not claim any deduction under house property (sec 24), in this period.

Thanks a lot.

An individual sold his residential property for Rs. 90 lacs and his capital gain amount is Rs 45 lacs after indexation. The time period for depositing money in capital gain account is the last of filing ITR which in this case if July 31, 2022. However he has already initiated a purchase transaction for buying a land from development authority (Govt body). He has paid about 15 lacs which is 10% of the new property. The remaining amount is to be paid within next 2-3 months.

Does he still need to deposit amount in capital gain account.
