I have bought a new house on a loan. I have a more than 3 year old own house which was also on loan. Now the old house loan amt is about 19 lacs and interest amount is gradually decreasing. I've repaying this loan for 4 years now. My new house loan EMI has started from 8 months.
I've been claiming income tax exemption as per the limit for my old house.
Now I am thinking of selling old house(already 3 years have passed after possession) and repay the loan completely. Suppose I get Rs 25 lacs for my old house, I'll utilize the amount to pay 20 lacs
-and for balance 5 lacs what will be the tax applicable?
- Do I need to invest that somewhere else?
- Is it a good idea to sell the old flat now if the things are not that bad?
- Once I close the old loan account, can i convert my new loan account to claim for income tax benefits? what is the procedure?
- is there any website which could give me more information on this?
pls help with answers.
thanks in advance.
