Yes,interest paid on housing loan can be added for capital gains. But, it is a controversial matter whether if you claim house loan deduction in 80C.

Yes, as the case decided in CIT vs Raja Gopala Rao [2001]-(mad.), borrowing directly related to the acquisition and interest paid thereon would form part of the cost of acquisition.

as per my view we can not add interest on house loan in cost for capital gain because loan only for financial matter not for cost eg if we purchase a house 10 lakh in cash.than cost is 10 lakh. other hand we purchase house on loan than we say 10lakh cost+5 lakh interest our cost is 15 lakh.but you know each and every case we take benefit of 5 lakh income from house property then can income tax act give double benefit m.no 09910652297

Actually, that's why i said that it is a controversial issue because both sec. - Income from house property & for Capital Gains are not related because of which it is allowed but due to Double tax benefit it is a highly litigated matter.

NO, interest paid on housing loan can not be added to the cost of acquisition. Interest comes in the picture only after acquiring the property. its a event occurring after acquiring the property. Interest can be claimed against house property income.
