Jignesh Desai says : Cost of Acquisition for Property bought on Loan ?
I had asked a Question on the above subject a few days ago which you had answered the link of which is given below (Kindly refer to the Link by pasting it in the address bar of your browser) : http://www.caclubindia.com/experts/cost-of-acquisition-calculation-for-property-bought-on-loan-1410934.asp#.Uheeln8Sieo (A) So what I understand is that Provided that no Income Tax Benefit , namely (a) Section 124 which allows maximum deduction upto 1.5 lacs p.a. for Interest paid on Home Loan & (b) Section 80C which allows maximum Deduction of 1 lacs p.a. for Principal Repayment on Home Loan , is taken during the 20 Years of Loan Repayment ,the Cost of Acquisition will be calculated in following manner :- (i) Original Investment (Margin Money) * Cost Inflation Index of '31-'32 / Cost Inflation Index of '11-'12 plus (ii) Loan Amount (50,00,000) * Cost Inflation Index of '31-'32 / Cost Inflation Index of '11-'12 plus (iii) The sum Total of the Interest Portion of every EMI * Cost Inflation Index of '31-'32 / Cost Inflation Index of the year in which that EMI was paid . For e.g if the EMIs were from April 2011 to March 2032 (TOTAL 240 EMIS in 20 yrs) , then for the interest portion of the first 12 EMIs (Let's take it as "X"), it will be calculated as :- X * Cost Inflation Index of '31-'32 / Cost Inflation Index of '11-'12 . For the next 12 EMIs , it will be calculated as :- X * Cost Inflation Index of '31-'32 / Cost Inflation Index of '12-13 & so on . Is my understanding correct ? (B) Is it correct that in case the Interest portion of all EMIs is taken as allowable Expense u/s 124 & Principal Repayment portion taken as deduction from income u/s 80C in each year's Income , in that case , the Interest paid on the Loan will not be able to be added to the Cost of Acquistion when the Property is sold ?
