My father is planning to sell one residential property and the proceeds of the sale plus loan that will be drawn by me (i.e. his son) would be consideration for purchasing of new property that would be under my name (I.e. his son). Will my father be able to claim deduction under sec 54 or should the new residential property be under his name only or can the new residential property can be under joint name? As per one of case laws this was allowed as deduction refer below summary: regards the name under whom the property is purchased, it can be seen that the son of the assessee is a direct relation and as per the Hon’ble Delhi High Court decision in case of CIT(A) Vs. Kamal Vahal 351 ITR 4 where the assessee purchased a new house in name of his wife, the claim under Section 54 is held valid. Thus, the exemption could not be denied if the entire investment had come out of the proceeds of an old property. Thus, the order of the CIT(A) is not justified in light of the decision in case of Kamal Vahal,” the Tribunal said Can you please confirm if my father can claim this exemption

Profits gained on shares but lost on cyber crime online shares trading. The trading firm is not existed now. Do I still pay taxes for the money earned through shares in genuine brokerage firm

Hi Mahesh, Could you help me to understand, If below scenario is valid to get tax benefit. Please read all below four points before answering questions. Point1: Sale agreement date of apartment = Jan 2023. Point2: 60 percent of apartment cost(with self + home loan) paid to builder till now (July 2024). Point3: Suppose, I sold stocks(Sept 2024) and invested LTGC to finance remaining 40 percent of apartment cost through instalments (before this FY end Mar 2025). Point4: Expected possession date of apartment = Oct 2025 (Actual home registration date). Question1. Am I eligible to claim this LTCG tax benefit under section 54F in above scenario for FY24 -25? Question2. If I am eligible for LTCG tax benefit , Do we need to put LTGC amount in capital gain account till possession of property? Or capital gain account is not needed , as LTGC amount is already invested to finance the remaining 40 percent of apartment cost in this FY24 -25 ? Question3: If I am eligible for LTCG tax benefit , Can I use LTCG amount for prepayment of home loan in this FY24 -25 and get Section 54F tax benefit ? Questions4: If only option remain is to save in capital gain account for tax benefit in FY24 -25. I really want to avoid to save LTCG in capital gain account. In this case, Suppose, I sold stocks(After current FY e.g. Apr 2025) and use LTCG amount for prepayment of home loan. Can I get tax benefit in this case for F**Y25 -26(**Assuming possession date of apartment = Oct 2025)
