Question : Can i sell a home which is on home loan before 5 years which was claimed for tax deduction?
I am planning to sell one of my flat bought in 2004 on home loan. I have claimed for tax deduction for 4 years already. I have a seen a clause in the yearly bank statement that i will not be entitled for tax saving on home loan if flat is sold before 5 years. Is it true? Please provide more information on this clause.
