24 August 2012 Hi ,

I registered a new flat in Nov 2010 and sold my old property in Jan 2011. After that I am repaying the new proprty home loan from the amount that I received from old proprty. Will I get any Tax benefit and how to apply ? Is it short term or long term gain, if any ?

Old property was purchased in Sep 2007. So it was holded for more than 3 years

Thanks

29 August 2012 The gain is 'long term'... as the period of holding is more tha 36months. You may claim exemption u/s 54 as the new flat is purchased 1 year before the sale of old falt. The repayment will qualify for 80C.. interest will qualify for loss from house property.
