Sale of house before possession

1431 views 1 replies

hi all,

from a tax perspective is it advisable to sell house before possession ? Its been over three years since the sale agreement was executed with the builder - possession will be given in a few  months time. So

* if i sell before possession does the sale income fall under LTCG or STCG  in this case ? I have heard conflicting views about this so i wanted to know something definitive 

* would i still be eligible to claim housing loan interest exemption if i sell before possession ?

* generally does it make sense to sell before possession ? 

Rgds,

RK

if property is soid before poseession

                interest paid on loan shall be allowed as cost of acquisition

                it will be taxable as long term capital gain

if sold after posession

              interet paid will be allowed as deduction

              it will be taxable as long term capital gain

interst paid will not form of cost at subsequent sale
