I am planning to purchase a flat for 50 lakh. I am taking 40 lakh loan from icici. Bank is ready to split the loan amount into two - 25 lakh and 15 lakh (both these cheques will be made in favor of seller). Out of these I am planning to show only 25 lakh as part of registration. Balance 10 lakh i will be paying from my sources, making the total registration value as 35 lakh.
Can I show the 15 lakh part of loan towards interiors/furniture in the house? since registration is not going to cover these 15 lakh what documentation should I and the seller maintain? How will IT auditors view this?
I do not want to convert these 15 lakh into black and pay the seller.
The reason I am splitting the loan is to save on registration fee since my registration value of 35 lakh is already way above govt guidance.
Seller is going to re-invest whole of 50 lakh in another property, so there is no question of capital gain tax for him.
Please guide.
