Career

Hi Sushil, my daughter is doing her Graduation in Psychology Hons and Research from Amity University Kolkata. She wishes to pursue higher education in Psychology for doing Masters and subsequent Doctorate abroad. Post completion of Master and Doctorate. Pls suggest for best options. Also should she settle abroad post studies or does India have better career options in Psychology in the near future? kindly suggest. Tanushyam Kanjilal

Ans: Hi Tanushyam,

Thank you for reaching out. It’s great to hear that your daughter is pursuing her graduation in Psychology and research at Amity University Kolkata.

Pursuing a Master’s and Doctorate from prestigious universities abroad, like UC Berkeley and King’s College London, would provide her with specialized courses in areas like clinical and corporate psychology, along with valuable research opportunities. These institutions also have a higher demand for psychologists, which can lead to faster career progression and global exposure.

While career options in India are growing, studying abroad can offer a broader range of opportunities. She should also consider attending international conferences to build networks and explore internships.

Ultimately, the decision depends on her career goals, preferred work environment, and the opportunities available to her after completing her studies.

I wish her all the best in her academic journey!

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.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

I am 36 years old and my current in hand salary is around 1.7 lacs per month alongwith some 10% variable pay, I have currently two ongoing home loans, one with SBI for some 24.5 lacs remaining with 25k per month EMI for 25 years, for the home I am currently residing, and another home loan is with HDFC for 14 lacs with 12.5k per month EMI for 20 years, for a 2 BHK flat in an under construction affordable housing project, which I will let out once completed by 2026. Besides this I have around 15 lacs in FD, 1.33 lacs invested in Gold ETF, 5.5 lacs in mutual funds (monthly SIP 23k), 1.5 lacs in PPF, monthly 12k invested in NPS, and every month I target to pay around 15k to pre pay my HDFC home loan, next I would target the SBI home loan similarly. Just wanted to know if my current approach seems ok or do I need to make some changes to my current portfolio like divert funds to close home loan and then target investments?

Ans: Hello;

You have a prudent approach towards managing your finances.

Therefore no change required. Continue with the discipline and focus.

Property purchased in the year 1998 for rs.150000, Sale Agreement made in year 2005 for Rs. 440000, and paid in year 2005, but sale deed done in year 2024, what is the tax liability now?

Ans: Kindly clarify following points, so that I may be in a position to respond your correctly :
01. Payment of Rs.4.40 (L) received in 2004 was in cash or through banking channels ? Whether the same was declared in your ITR for the same period ?
02. What is the amount for which Sale Deed was registered in 2024 & its date ?
03. Whether any further payment was received in 2024 ?
04. Please note that officially you have sold the property in 2024 (the year in which sale deed was registered). LTCG shall be worked accordingly. Payment received in 2005, may be treated as advance payment against the sale of property. Your tax liability shall be for the F/Y 2024-25 (assuming that sale was registered after 01.04.2024).
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Question by Shreya - May 15, 2025

Career

I have 6 subjects in my class 12 and passed class 12 with physics as additional subjects as i got RT in it....i passed in year 2025...can i give improvement exam in year 2026 for maths and chemistry and also physics without clearing the RT(Retest) in the year 2025

Ans: Yes, you can appear for improvement in Maths and Chemistry in 2026, since you passed them in 2025.

For Physics, if you got RT in 2025 and did not clear it, then you are not considered to have passed Physics.

So you cannot appear for improvement in Physics in 2026 until you first pass the RT exam.

Once you clear the RT in Physics, it will be treated as passed and only then eligible for improvement next year.
