Sir Recently my father (aged 73yrs) sold a property which belong to him. He to amount of Rs 25 lakh in his bank account. Will he have to pay capital gain in this case ? if No then its fine if yes then how much ? and suggest proper measures to nullify the capital gain tax. Thank you
Ans: Hello, if property is sold , then yes he definitely has to pay tax on it at 20% after indexation ( consult a CA as he will give a much precise answer in terms of tax outflow once you give him all the details )
There are multiple ways to save taxes , but my suggestion would be to pay taxes if any and to invest that money in an asset which yields good growth or a decent monthly income with growth and liquidity since your father is 73yrs old
In case of investments in Mutual Funds , you can select the following portfolio options for a retired person :
Equity hybrid - 20%
Large and mid cap - 30%
Multicap - 30%
Mid cap - 20%
Please note that these suggestions are based on your stated goals and the information you provided. It is always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor in person to better understand your risk tolerance, time horizon, and specific financial goals.
