Housing loan Vs lending the same to friend for interest

168 views 2 replies
Sir, I have taken housing loan, but due to certain reasons I have not utilized that amount for that purpose, however, I have lent the same amount, as it is, to my friend for which I am getting interest.

Now, at the time of filing of income tax return, I am offering that interest received from my friend as income minus interest paid to bank on such loan, and on the balance I am discharging the income tax liability, Am I doing correct? If not correct, then, kindly refer me the provisions of income tax as to which section bars me from doing the above activity.

You are doing correct. There is no restriction. Please offer the income under the head Income from Other Sources. Do no take any other deduction in respect of the housing loan.
For claiming deduction of interest paid on borrowed capital, you must spent the capital for the purpose.
