Income tax on home loan

Tax queries 369 views 1 replies

Sir,

I have taken Home Loan  to purchase flat in Pune in Aug 2011 (FY 2011-12). I got possession in Feb 2014 (FY 2013-14). Bank provided Interest certificate for FY 2011-12 (as Pre-EMI), FY 2012-13 (as Pre-EMI) and FY 2013-14 (as EMI). Please guide me

1) How will I calculate I-T rebate of interest duduction after possesion for FY 2013-14?

2) As my flat was in possession in Feb 2014, shall I take into consideration of Pre-constrution EMI interest (i.e. aggregate of from Aril 2013 to Jan 2014 for current FY 2013-14 and previous two years) or Pre-EMI as stated by bank ?

3) I am staying in Nasik in rented flat. I plan to give flat in pune immediately on rent from March 2014. My interest for the current FY exceeds 2.3 lakh, can I claim full deduction of interest from rental income as I am givng flat on rent ? or only 1.5 Lakh ?

 If I'm gonna claim unlimited interest for FY 2013-14, Is it correct that income from property will be only for 1 or 2 months (i.e. Feb and March 2014) rental value (for let out property) since I got possession in the month of Feb. 2014? Please help.

Thanks for valuable guidance in advance.

as you got possession in feb'14, then the interest paid for the financial years 2011-12 and 2012-13 will be considered as pre emi interest and you will get the benefit of 1/5 of the total interest paid during this period in this year and rest in next 4 years. you can claim benefit of total interest paid paid during this year.

and as you are putting this flat on rent than this flat will be treated as let out and there will be no limit of claiming interest.
