03 December 2016 It is not a wise decision that you took a personal loan with Hugh interest rate and purchased a house .in my opinion you take loan for the repairs and maintenance .you take necessary steps to repay the personal loan

04 December 2016 In my opinion banks will takeover the housing loan of other FI .so if you have taken loan for the purchase of the house you can ask the present FI to give CSI as quoting the purpose as purchase of house and if the present bank give the credit sanction intimation as the purpose as purchase of house then it is housing loan for you.if you have proof that the entire loan is given directly to the seller of the house property then you have the proof of end use of funds
With this documents you can treat it as housing loan.you can take the letter from the Financial institution in this regard.
This is personal opinion take your own decision
