If I have a capital gain of Rs. 2 Crore which i invest in a house property of Rs. 2 Crore and I also take a housing loan for the same of Rs. 1 Crore, can i claim exemptions under both capital gains sec 54/54F and under sec 24?
 

Please quote relevant case laws if possible.

YES, DEFINETLY

U SAID U HAVE GOT A CAPITAL GAIN OF TWO CRORES, IF THIS 2 CRORES WITH THE HELP OF ANTHER CR(which u took loan) is invested in new property then u can definetly claim both under 54 and 24 aswell,

I DONT HAVE ANY CASE LAW WITH ME,

CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG,

THANK U

The value of property bought is 2 Crores only... so can I claim exemption under both sections?
My basic doubt is that when I show the amount of capital gain (2Cr.) Invested to buy the house worth 2 Cr, how can I get exemption for housing loan taken for the same house?

u can show that 1 crore as a construction in house and claim sec 24 b deduction

IF UR CAPITAL GAIN IS 2CR THEN TO TO CLAIM DED U/S 54 U SHOULD INVEST WHOLE CAPITAL GAIN 

IN THE ASSET U HAVE BOUGHT,

 

I THINK U USED 1CR FROM THE CAPITAL GAINS AND OTHER 1CR FROM BANK,

THEN U WILL GET 1CR AS 54 EXEMPTION AND as u said u bought a loan now u can even claim u/s 24,

if u have used only 1cr from capital gain then remaining 1cr is taxable

Yes, you can claim benefit under both the sections..

If the property you are purchasing is less than the capital gain then balance capital gain will become taxable. If the property you are purchasing is more than the capital gain, then the capital gain will become Nil. Here ends the capital gain issue. It is not possible to purchase a property that exactly matches with the capital gain amount. Now if the excess money spent on that same property is sought from a bank, then you will get exemption u/s 80C and u/s 24.

I have utilized the entire capital gain of  2 cr for buying the property, so i get an exemption for whole of capital gain amt.
so now I cant show the 1 Cr housing loan against the same propery right? because if I do then there might be a question arising of where did I invest that housing loan in that property...?

 

If the property is of 2 cr, and you have used up all capital gain, then your tax liability would be Nil.

Housing loan will not be given if you can't show documents. The bank does not pay you the loan; they will pay the loan directly to the builder/seller upon furnishing documents etc.

ya pooja what u said is exactly correct.

Thank you so much for solving my doubt :)
