22 April 2009 Mr. A purchased a flat for rs. 35 lakhs for which he made payment in 2 installments - rs. 17 lakhs through a bank loan and the balance through the proceeds from the sale of a residential house. he eventually bought another house with the balance money, and invested a small part of it in an agriculturral land. the loan got for purchase is still there. the flat was piurchased before the house was sold. the second house was purchaesd after the sale. Can both the houses be shown as investement of sale proceeds for the purpose of capital gains? and how should the loan be treated?
