interest on borrowed capital on short term capital gains

1148 views 1 replies

Hello  - I had booked a house in 2003, got posession in end of 2006. The house was registered in Q1,2007. I sold the house in April 2009. There was a mortgage on the house.

Q1) Will this be Long Term Capital Gain or Short Term Capital Gain on it?

Q2) How will the interest on borrowed capital be treated in the year of sale? Here Iam referring to the interest which was paid from 2003 -2006..can it be set off against the sale proceeds? As per the Income Tax act, If I had continued with the house I would have spread it over 5 years and set off against the house property income..What happens now? Can this interest be adjusted against capital gains(Iam assuming it will be Short term capital gians) Please advise.

Thanks

Umang

as there is a mortgage on the house - means the house is placed as colletoral security against a loan other than loan taken for purchase of said house. here no tax benefit is available with house, but the loan interest would get set off against the the income of specific type of loan taken, in case of personal loan, in case of personal loans its revenue expenditure, no set off available.
