Q

n_eerajg: I am going to purchase a house property worth Rs 45 lacs and taking a bank loan of Rs 30 lacs for it. I am a salaried employee and does not own any house property in my own name. Although I have a flat (purchased in 2008 under Power of Attorney in name of my mother). With a pure intention to save stamp duty (of around 2% on cost of purchase) and also to avail income tax deductions, I wish to use the following route to acquire the above mentioned house. Route I will buy the house in name of my mother (registry in her name). Bank loan will be in her name with my name as co-applicant (as she will not be eligible for 30 lac bank loan due to her low monthly income). Although she will use her own funds for balance portion (15 lacs, 45 minus 30). On the date of registry, my mother will sell the house to me at same price (or with some mark-up) through a sale agreement (this will not be registered) and/or power of attorney in my name. Sale agreement will also comprise that I will take over bank loan from her. Now EMIs will be paid from my account only. Thus it will make me owner of the house as per section 24, 27, 269UA of the Income Tax Act 1961 and i will be eligible for income tax deduction of housing loan interest and principal. Instead of going for sale agreement with my mother (as stated in above para), my mother can make a gift deed in my favour in regard to above mentioned house which may or may not be registered. This will make me owner of the house as per section 24, 27, 269UA of the Income Tax Act 1961 and i will be eligible for income tax deduction of housing loan interest and principal. Please give your suggestion on my understandings or suggest any other option. Neeraj Gupta, Ludhiana
