Home loan interest
by Biju Thomas on Jun 01, 2007 06:11 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

What happens if i buy a flat by taking a loan and then sell it off after 2 years. What happens to the tax rebate availed in the first and second year's interest.

Officially you can not avail the tax rebate if you are planning to sell your property in the next 5 years. But technically, you will enjoy the rebate for the 1st and 2nd year even if yuo sell in the third year as nobody will check these things. :)

if you want to escape , you can always escape. :):)

No,Sir,they are right.There is a lock in period.You must won the house for 5 years if you want deduction under sec 80C for principal repayment.
