Reversal of tax benefits from sale of home within 5 years

230 views 1 replies

Hi

I bought a home in Oct 2013 for 29 Lakhs. Now prices have gone down and I am getting only 19 Lakhs.  But I read somewhere 

Home Loan - If you have purchased a house after taking out a home loan, and consequently sold the house within a period of five years, then there will be a reversal of any tax benefits that you have claimed under Section 80C. All tax deductions that you claimed under Section 80C in the previous years will become a part of your total income in the year of the sale of the house

Since I had taken a home loan for my flat and had completed all my loan in Oct 2016, but with above statement, do I need to wait for completion of 5 years to avoid reversal of tax benefits under Sec80C? ? Does that mean, I can sell this flat only in Apr 2018? 

Please advise

Regards

Sumit

Only after October, 2018; provided you had taken 80C benefit over the principal repayment of home loan, and if you do not wish to reverse the benefit in current year.
