Money
I have just sold a property and with the proceeds I intend to buy a flat and a plot later on. I am a salaried person and file ITR accordingly. Now with the proceeds of the property I sold, the amount is not enough to buy both flat and a plot so I will be taking some funds from friends and relatives. Now since they will be transferring these amounts to my account , what are the implications from income tax point of view? Also right now I plan to buy a flat only and I am searching for a plot, what to do with additional funds I received (as a proceeds from my sale and loan from friends) till then, should I put them in capital gain account or else?
Ans: 1) You should buy the house first within the income tax given limits to off set the tax implication for the house property sold by you.
2) The monies given to you by your friends can be treated as a loan and they will have to show interest income earned by the loan given to you till the time you return them the money borrowed.
3) If the FY changes between selling and buying the house you should keep the money in capital gain account.
4) If you are buying the plot as an investment - i would suggest against it as you are taking a personal loan from friends - instead focus on creating liquid assets which will grow and definitely help you in any emergencies unlike a plot where in case of emergency you will have to sell the entire thing to create any kind of liquidity.
