Home Loan Query

Tax planning 863 views 4 replies

Hello Dear Members! I have a query regarding a new house purchase.

Details about me: Working in a Pvt. Ltd. Company with a basic pay of Rs. 40,000 p.m. No other benefits like DA etc. Currently leaving in a rented house having a rent of Rs. 6000 p.m. The Rent is reimbursed by the Company in the form of House Rent Allowance.

Details about the house: 1000 sq. ft. House costing approx Rs. 22 Lacs. At present under construction & will be handed over in the next 3 years. Specific amounts have to be paid at various stages during the period of the construction of the project.

There are various options available to me. Kindly suggest in Detail in which direction should I proceed. I am 100% sure that Experts here can solve my query.

Options Available

1. Co. pays the full amount of Flat & purchases the Flat in my name.

2. Co. pays the full amount of Flat & purchases the Flat in its own name & then gifts / transfers the Flat in my name after say 3 years on its completion.

3. Co. gives Interest free Loan to me for purchase of House & I repay the Loan.

4. I take the Loan from Bank & Co. pays the EMIs.

5. I take the Loan from Bank & pay the EMIs. Ang get the amount reimbursed from the Company.

 

Kindly suggest the best suitable alternative from Incom Tax perspective -

i. Taking into consideration HRA of Rs. 6000/-

ii. Without taking into consideration HRA of Rs. 6000/- [i.e. when Co. pays EMI etc. it stops giving HRA]

 - for what interest company will reimburse your loan? 

- book entry in business of family as salary may run your file for a while, but it can not help u in long run.

Dear Rahul,

I would suggest you  to have home loan for purchase of the property. This will enables u to claim benefit for Ineterst and Principle repayment of loans towards your income. More over i am not that much comfortable for the arrangement for the transfer of property after 3 years from company in your name....dont consider thsi option...not sure but this cannot be possible.....

Alternateively.....instead of the HRA you can go for lease out option with company till for the property...but again that is not advisalble.....

Cheers

Hemant

Dear Hemant Thanks for the Reply.


If I take the Loan from Bank, pay the EMIs & get the same reimbursed from Employer, will I be eligible for benefits under Section 80C & 24?

Another thing I would like to know is can this be treated as HRA u/s 10 (13)?
