Money

Hi sir, I transfered 3 lakhs to my friend in 2023 as loan through bank transfer. If he repay that without any interest in 2024, should I pay income tax?

Ans: You should get the amount back through banking channel only. You would have to pay any tax on it, since this is not your income, but just return of temporary loan without interest, to your friend.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

I am planning to buy land loan for 10 lakhs. When approached ICICI, they informed minimum amount to be sanctioned is 20 lacs. Can I repay the surplus as part of EMI ? If yes , my monthly emi goes 1,75,000 My total income is 1.5 lacs per month and I can able to pay 1.75 emi by using the surplus and using the salary income Advise if it is wise decision? Interest rate at 8.75

Ans: Hello;

It's not fiscally prudent to borrow more then your requirement.

You may approach some other lender.
Even if rate of interest is slightly higher go for loan only for the required amount.

Also select a longer repayment period so the EMI burden will be lesser.

As and when you get surplus income like bonus do the loan principal repayment as early as possible.

You will also have to invest for retirement and other financial goals as well.

Best wishes;
