As I am Remodeling my old house now a days and take advices from time to time on telephone or internet as i have no time left to go and find appropriate people and experts.
I am facing a problem with Water Tank on the roof. which is the storage of water supply to whole house. Problem is that when ever it overflow and water came out of it flows all over the roof. slope level of roof is very good. but i am seeing that damp is appearing on my ceilings near that place of Water Tank. I want advice whether i should resolve this problem from inside or outside and how.

Sounds as though you live in a hot climate, diagnosis is everything- get a plumber.
 
It sounds like your roof is your problem do you get this problem when it rains maybe you do not get a lot of rain. I think it is a joint fitting on your pipe work.

what if i place some insulation under the water tank?

No insulation should go underneath water tanks in lofts.
You should allow warmth from the room below to reach the underneath of the tank as a precaution against freezing.
 
No i have not experienced this problem before and its true i do not get a lot of rain. Can you explain the joint fitting. Thanks

Hi Irfan.
The problem you describe is one that probably relates to plumbing rather than plastering. Luckily there are experts available to help you on diyplumbingadvice.com/

Get some deso tape, from plumbers merchants , is just bandage coverd in petrolatum reall. Just mak sure wrap it on realy tight.
You could also check the level of the ballcock in the tank, it may be set to high, the can be addjuster though. Good luck
