YEs It is revenue expense if you take benfite of sec 24 then u also take benefit as cost of improvment this ia not valid planning my dear
yes
it is revenue expenditure. hence cant take that benefit this may be called duoble deduction
There is a similar propeblem discussed in Taxmann's Direct Taxes Law & Practice, under "Propblems on Computation of Capital Gains, So it seems clear that the indexation is possible, I want to know interest u/s 24 is possible or not, because the limit u/s 24 is Rs.1,50,000.00only
yes dear it is very much possible to claim deduction of Rs. 150000 u/s 24 as there is no pre condition regarding the claim of indexation,nd also u can claim the indexation benefits on the same as there is no pre condition of claiming of deduction u/s24.(It is only possible when it is of the nature of capital i.e. intt. of pre-construction period.
Indexation on Interest debited to property account cannot be claimed as it does not amount to improvement
