• Ownership share in plot, to be constructed house on that plot and home loan EMI for tax benefit?

I am planning to buy plot to construct a house in next few months with home loan with my wife as co owner of plot & to be constructed house and also co borrower of home loan so that we both can claim tax benefits..

We are planning to get a ratio of 75:25 ( myself: my wife) on home loan interest 
 tax exemption..

I guess we can have co ownership of plot in this ratio during sale deeds with the seller..But , what document needs to be done to prove co Ownership of House which is going to be constructed in that plot?

My wife is not working now as she is pregnant now..but will resume work after 1 year..but she has 
filed previous years ITR ..

How to go about with home loan EMI so that even she can also claim 25% tax benefit once she start earning?

Government approved architect will get you a map approved for the house.

The registered sale deed of the plot is only the only the ownership document. There is no separate registration for constructed portion

Ownership in the house also in the ratio of 75:25. When she starts working, can pay her part of EMI and than can claim tax benefit.

1. After purchase  of the land stating the ratio of ownership you should make an agreement with your wife regarding the ratio of ownership both of you would hold in the house to be constructed.

2. Otherwise if the house is mutated in both of your names  then both of you would be held owner of the house in equal share.

1. LTCG can be claimed ONLY by investing /financing parties, to the share ratio as documentarily financed.  Hence IF wife proves that she financed 25% for Land costs and 50% for house construction costs, THEN Wife qualifies to claim any type of taxation relief related only to her share of 25% and 50% respectively as described above.

2. The above formula shall be applicable for LTCG & other tax benefits by Husband too.

The sale deed should be registered in the joint names of both you and your wife, if you would like to have only 25% share for her in the property, you can a mention in the deed accordingly.

If your home loan is sanctioned and the EMI repayment of loan starts you will come to know about the procedures for tax exemptions.

1. House ownership is decided by share in land on which the house is constructed. 

2. If still you want to execute some document then you can execute an agreement with your wife mentioning ownership share in the house.

The New Tax Regime will apply for income earned during the financial year 2020-21 or assessment year 2021-22, for those opting for it.

As there is an incidence of tax deducted at source (TDS), the concern with many taxpayers and TDS deductors was about the timing of exercising of this option by the taxpayers.

There may be an instance when the employee declares to the employer that he will stick with Old New Tax Regime but at the time of filing ITR, he or she chooses to go with New Tax Regime.

The employers were unsure as to how the TDS will be deducted.

In order to avoid the genuine hardship in such cases, the CBDT has clarified that an employee, having income other than the income under the head ‘Profit and Gains of Business or Profession’ and intending to opt for the concessional rate under section 115 BAC of the Act, may intimate the deductor, being his employer, of such intention for each previous year and upon such intimation, the deductor shall compute his total income, and make TDS accordingly.

However, the option at the time of filing of ITR return of income under sub-section (1) of section 139 of the Act could be different from the intimation made by such employee to the employer. This means, one may inform the employer about the option – New Tax Regime or Old Tax Regime – and still choose to file ITR no matter what option has been provided to the employer.

Effectively, you can switch between new and old tax regime at the time of filing ITR.

As an employee, if you do not make any such intimation, the employer shall make TDS without considering the provision of Section 115 BAC of the Act. It means, in that case, the Old Tax Regime will apply.

The employees may still furnish their investment declaration to the employer wherein section 80 C and other tax savings can be done.
