Deductible Interest Expenses for Oversees loan

580 views 5 replies

I have a couple of questions about what can be considered as decuctible expenses with relating to Income tax.

The scenario is

 

- Investment being made in a commercial property in India by an NRI.

- The capital for the purchase of the propery is coming from two sources

     (i) -  From mortgaging another property  (in India) that belongs to the NRI

     (ii) - From loans from oversees banks in the Country of Residence of the NRI

 

Questions:

 1- Is the int paid on the mortgage in scenario (i) deductible as a valid expense?

 2- Is the int paid on the loans in scenario (ii) deductible as a valid expense?

 3- If the above int exps are deductible, can these losses be carried forward?

 4- If the above int exps/loss can be carried forward, how long can they be c/f ?

 

 Appreciate your time to respond to my queries.

Can some please provide some input on this.

 

Thanks

Hi Friend,

For me -

Interest paid on mortagage (i) as well as on mortagae (ii) will be treated as part of "Cost of Acquisition"

This amount cannot be claimed as expenses as such.

Its only when this property will be sold the said above amount will be deducted in computing capital gains.

 

 

Is that true?  The monthly interest paid to generate capital to acquire a property not considered a deductible expense ?

Any other point of views.

If commercial property is let out then rental income would be 'Income from house property' then int will be allowed.

Thanks a lot for your response, is there a particular section that I can reference this or is this in some rule etc... that I can read up. Pointers are highly appreciated.
