Dear Sir, We have inherited a property in Bangalore. The property was in my Mother's name who attained lotus feet last November. This is a bit complicated situation. 1) The actual payment for the property was done in 1998. 2) The property registration in My Mother's name was done in 2016. The value of purchase in 1998 was 6 Lacs. Renovation and modest addition is approx. 6 Lacs. 3) The property in now co owned by self and Brother. 4) We have a sister who has signed release deed. 5) The current market rate is approx. 1.7 Cr. My question is, 1) If we sell, can we ask the buyer to make separate payments to the two of us? 2) We intend to pay our Sister (resident of Australia) some portion of the recievables. Can we ask buyer to make separate payment to her? 3) We have an existing home loan which we intend to close using the money. 4) How will the LTCG role out in this situation? Also as of today there is an amendment that we can chose either 20% with indexation or 12.5 without indexation. Which is the right one to chose? Request your valuable guidance, please.
Ans: I offer my following suggestions for your points of concern :
01. The Buyer will make payment to the owner of property. Has property been transferred in favor of both of you ?
If Yes, then he shall make payment to both of you, separately, as desired by you.
02. The buyer should not make any direct payment to your sister.
After receiving the sale proceeds, both of you, may Gift some amount to your sister. It will be a separate transaction. Please note that your sister will not have any income tax implications, in case of gift from brothers.
03. You are free to use the sale proceeds of property in any way, even for re-payment of housing loan.
04. You need to work out LTCG in both ways, i.e., 20% with Indexation & 12.50% without Indexation. You may choose the option, in which you tax liability is minimum.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Hi, my and my daughter (minor) PPF accounts with post office are maturing on 22nd Feb 2024. Question 1 : Can we withdraw funds on 1st April 2025? Question 2 : Can the maturity proceeds for my daughter turning 18 years on 4th April 2025 be paid to my account as her guardian if i apply to withdraw the funds before 4th April 2025?
Ans: 01. Yes. You may withdraw the amount from PPF Account in April,2025.
02. It is advisable to withdraw the amount from your daughter's account after 04.04.2025 (the date when she gets maturity). In this case amount will straight go to her account.
03. If however, you want to withdraw the amount after maturity of PPF Account, BUT before she attains majority, then the amount shall go to a saving account in her name, with your guardianship.
Most welcome for any further clarification. Thanks.

After a period of hospitalization, a Pensioner with taxable salary expired before filing the ITR. As per a regd Will, the heir took initiatives and as a preliminary act, the death certificate was submitted in the bank and the pension was stopped. Now to clear the formalities, the bank is asking for legal heir certificate(LHC) from the revenue dept. The revenue department is asking for the original registered Will in order to issue the LHC. The Will is in the above bank locker and the Bank will not allow to open and take out the original Will unless the LHC is produced. The Bank has also declined to provide the Form16 and Form 16A which would have helped in filing the already belated ITR for FY23-24. In short, the apparent heir is trapped in a "Chakravyuh". Is there any way out? Please advise.
Ans: 01. Please find your father's tax details from Income Tax site (AIS, TIS & Form 26AS). Add the details which you have from his bank accounts & other relevent documents available with the family.
Compute his Income Tax liability & pay tax on his behalf.
This will clear your tax liability.
You also need to file his ITR, as a representative assessee. However, this may require certain formalities, if you can complete. Otherwise, wait for the registered will & then proceed.
02. You can get a copy of Registered WILL of your father, from the Registrar's Office, where it was Registered. You can then proceed further to process/settle your other issues.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
