If I want to take a loan of Rs 15 lakh for construction of my house, should I be the only owner or is it okay, if the house is in the name of 4 people, one of them being me?

Ans: In order for the property to be mortgaged, the sale deed for the same has to be submitted to the lender as collateral. This implies that all co-owners are involved in the loan by default. So, it is necessary that all co-owners are also co-applicants to the loan.

If the co-applicants are earning members, it helps you since consideration of multiple incomes through co-applicants improves your eligibility and helps you get favourable terms on your home loan.

Hi, I liked a home that cost 1.1 crore. I don't have a down payment hence I decide to take this in joint name with my friend, who had 40 lakh rupees. Will bank permit home loan of 70 lakh to me to take this home in joint ownership with friend.
Ans: Taking a joint home loan with your friend can be a viable option to fulfill your dream of owning the desired home. Banks typically consider the combined income and creditworthiness of all co-applicants when approving a joint home loan.

In your case, since your friend has 40 lakh rupees for the down payment, you can apply for a home loan of 70 lakh rupees jointly. However, it's crucial to note that each bank has its own lending criteria and may evaluate the loan application based on factors such as income stability, credit history, and debt-to-income ratio.

Before proceeding, it's advisable to discuss the terms of the joint ownership with your friend and seek legal advice to draft a co-ownership agreement outlining the responsibilities, rights, and obligations of each party to avoid any potential conflicts in the future.

Additionally, consult with multiple banks or financial institutions to compare loan offers and choose the one that best suits your requirements in terms of interest rates, tenure, and repayment options.

By leveraging the combined financial strength of both applicants, you can increase the chances of loan approval and make your dream of homeownership a reality.

What are possibilities of getting maintenance for a working woman (with a kid) from husband . My husband has abandoned us since birth of my daughter 4years. Not taking the child's responsibility. Husband says as I am earning I should take care of financial requirement of the child too. I am doing extra duties/ work just to take care of my daughter's education and future. As I am a healthcare professional my work consists of night duties. These duties are taking toll on my health and also my daughter's . People are saying as I am a working woman I can't claim maintenance from husband. But taking care of young child is more difficult with working. I just can't leave my job , just to show nil income to claim maintenance as no one is there to support me and my daughter. Hiring a nanny , maid etc along with rent comes around 85k per month apart from school expenses. As I live in metropolitan city. Husband earns more than me but transfers money to his mother's account.He has taken me granted financially since marriage.Not able to save anything for the future. Don't have any property on my name .
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
This is a question for a legal expert; so go ahead and seek the guidance of someone who can handle your case. Along with this, you will have to think of a good balance that will allow for you to manage work and home plus your health.

All the best!

Hello sir, I am planning to buy a flat, with some stock sale proceeds and bank loan. Can I claim section 54F, for the entire registration amount for a flat, along with registration fee ? Or bank loan part is not considered
Ans: Eligibility for Section 54F
Section 54F provides capital gains exemption when selling assets like stocks.
You must invest the full net sale proceeds in a residential property.
The new flat must be purchased within two years or constructed within three years.
You should not own more than one residential house at the time of sale.
Treatment of Bank Loan Under Section 54F
Exemption applies only to the portion funded by stock sale proceeds.
The bank loan portion is not considered for exemption.
You need to invest the entire net sale proceeds to claim full exemption.
Registration Charges and Stamp Duty
Registration charges and stamp duty qualify as part of the property cost.
These expenses can be included for exemption under Section 54F.
However, only the part paid from capital gains is eligible.
Ensuring Full Exemption
If you reinvest only part of the net sale proceeds, the exemption is partial.
Any remaining capital gain will be taxed.
To avoid tax, the full capital gain amount must be reinvested.
Tax Implications If Conditions Are Not Met
If you sell the new property within three years, the exemption is reversed.
The capital gain becomes taxable in the year of sale.
Ensure compliance with all conditions to retain tax benefits.
Alternative Planning Strategies
If full reinvestment is not possible, consider capital gains bonds.
These bonds provide an alternative exemption under Section 54EC.
This helps in tax-efficient planning while keeping liquidity options open.
Final Insights
Section 54F helps save tax if proceeds are fully reinvested.
The bank loan portion does not qualify for exemption.
Registration costs can be included but only if paid from capital gains.
Ensure compliance to avoid future tax liabilities.
