Home Loan from Father

This query is : Resolved 

31 October 2008 I took a home loan from a leading private bank under the floating rate scheme(I have rented this property). My father is interested in prepaying a portion of the loan on my behalf. Can I take a loan from my father to prepay a portion of my existing home loan from the bank and enjoy the tax benefit, can I repay the loan taken from my father in an EMI basis just like the normal loan from bank? Also what is the documentation(with my father) I would require to claim the tax exemption.

A) Yes. U can enjoy the tax benefit of repayment of loan and payment of interest to the bank irrespective of ur source of funds.


Q) Can I repay the loan taken from my father in an EMI basis just like the normal loan from bank?

A) U can repay in whatever way u want. But u cannot claim any tax benefit from this transaction.

04 November 2008 You can claim interest on the loan taken from your father as a deduction. However principal repayment does not qualify for exemption under Sec 80C.
