A friend of mine in his mid 80s, sold off his house and other investments in 2021 and has paid capital gains tax on the proceeds with proper filing of IT returns. The sum of Rs 4 crore he has parked in FDs and given his age moved to assisted living senior accommodation. His only son is overseas, an NRI for sevaral years and the son has no assets or interests/income in India. My friend wishes to transfer the proceeds of his house sale to his son and keep just sufficient funds for his limited expenses and sunset years. As per the Forex LRS, he can transfer 1.5 crores (up to 250K USD), but this will attract a TCS of 20% now. Is this a tax on foreign remittance? Or, can he file returns in June and claim the TCS back since the capital gains tax has already been paid on the sale of house two years back? It is not clear if the FM has introduced a new tax on Foreign Remittance or it is just a TCS that can be claimed as tax on income/capital gains was already paid to Govt. Please advise.
Ans: It is just TCS (Tax Collected at Source). While filing ITR, you may claim a Refund, if there is no tax liability.

Sir, NRI daughter had LTCG income in FY23-24 and IT returns was filed in ITR-2 as per rules. In FY24-25 there is no taxable income and there is no LTCG also. In such a case, filing may not be required but she would like to file just to keep the records straight.
My query is which ITR form is to be used in this case? In case if ITR-2 is not required, is there anything wrong in using ITR-2 itself?
Ans: You may file ITR of your daughter in Form No ITR-2. Hope you won't face any problem in this connection.

Capital gain tax: 2025-26
2009-10 purchase value 9317170
2025-26 sale value 21130000
What would be the capital gain tax and income tax if any?
Pension amount 560000
Ans: You have the Option to pay LTCG either 12.50% without Indexation OR 20% with Indexation. In your case, you may go for the option of 20% with Indexation, which may result in loss.
02. Your total tax liability shall depend upon some other factors also. However, we have suggested you to calculate LTCG only, which shall minimise your LTCG liability.

My mother has sold a residential property and wants to share its proceeds with me and my sister and my father ? Is it possible for all three of us to invest in residential property in our respective name and save LTCG ?
Ans: 01. To get Exemption u/s 54 from LTCG, your mother can invest in a Residential House, with in time limits.
02. Maximum 2 houses can be purchased/constructed, if LTCG is up to Rs.200.00 (L). This opportunity is available only once in a life time.
03. She may purchase the houses in her name or in the name of her spouse or her children (My opinion is based on the decisions of the ITAT).
04. Please also note that only your mother can purchase the residential property & get exemption. The property may be registered in the name of her spouse/children, BUT payment should be made directly by her.
However, if she transfer the amount to all three of you & you purchase the property, exemption will not be available.
You can review your tax planning in light of above details.

I am an NRI getting around 60 Lakhs yearly interest on my NRE deposits which at present is tax free. When I become a Resident Indian then how much tax I would have to pay for the 60 Lakhs yearly interest.
Ans: When you become an Indian Citizen, you would be subject to TDS (Tax Deduction at source) provisions. Rate of TDS at present is 10% with valid PAN or 20% without PAN. However, this TDS shall be adjustable with your actual Income Tax Liability.
Income Tax Calculations depend on many factors & additional information, which is not available in your details. This info/factors would be Financial Year, Your Other Income from all other sources, Tax Savings-if any & Your age etc.etc.

In your case I would suggest you to Invest the amount Mutual Funds. This may give you reasonable return and Liquidity also. If the amount for Investment if reasonable, you should go for Real Estate Investment. Real Estate Investment should be in such a property, where you can utilise the same also. Like Residential House where you may reside also or any Commercial Shop etc., where you can start your small business also. In this way, you would be using the property your self & also getting the benefit of its appreciation.

01. In this case LTCG will depend upon the Cost of Flat being sold. It is parental property built in 1975. You should get a valuation Certificate from an Architect, declaring its value as on 01.04.2001. This shall be taken as Cost as on 01.04.2001, for working out LTCG.
02. Tax liability can be worked out with Indexation (20%) or without Indexation (12.50%). You may choose the option, where tax liability is minimum.
03. You can plan your LTCG Tax, by Investing the amount in Capital Gain Bonds or purchase a new residential property, within specified time limits.

Listen Can my father's cash deposit through CDM affect my tax-free income status?
Ans: 01. What I could understand from your question is that, you are earning some amount from STCGs by trading in Stock Market. Kindly note that STCG is taxable & is not Tax Free. STCG can be adjusted against your basic exemption limit of Rs.3.00 (L), provided you have no other income from any source.
02. Amount being transferred by your father in your bank account is on which account ? Is it his regular business Sale amount, received on-line in your account ? If this is the case, then this amount should be shown in your father's ITR as business Receipts, received in his son's bank account. In such a case, it shall not be treated your income.
