Interest on housing loan

This query is : Resolved 

25 December 2007 I have taken a housing loan from bank of India for 20 years at 10.5% interest rate. Now I want to take a loan from my father and repay my loan to Bank of India. Can I pay interest to my father @15% and claim loss from house property.

25 December 2007 THERE IS NO BAR FOR a loan fro father AS PER SEC 24 OF IT ACT . CLAUSE (b) of sec 24 says the amount of any interest payable is allowed as deduction and only a certificate from the person to whom interest is payable on capital borrowed has to be furnished.even INTEREST ON A new loan( BORROROWED for paying old loan) is allowed under sec 24.
