Question by Prakash - Apr 10, 2026Hindi

am having flat in hyderabad which was registered as gift deed in 2009 and if i want to sell the flat on today date the valve may be 75 Lakhs what can be capital gain. Actual cost was 2.2 lakhs in 1986 . As my age is 65 years and i dont want to use for contruction or investment in new flat. How can i save capital gain. Your advise

Ans: Whatever LTCG (Long Term Capital Gain) is there, you may purchase Capital Gain Bonds (maximum limit is Rs.50.00 (L) to save your tax. Since you don't want to invest in a new Flat or House, this may be a good option. Please remember the time limit of purchasing the Bonds is within 6 months, from the date of sale of Asset/Flat.
Most Welcome for further clarifications, if any. Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam , In my present company I have NPS paid through employer since May 2019. I'm going to have a job change from next month. In my future company, NPS facility is not there. So, Can i apply for closure of NPS and withdraw the whole amount or is it mandatory to keep the account active until the age of 58 by paying some minimum amount yearly?

Ans: It is better if you continue your NPS by making self contributions. Later on you may join some other company, where NPS facility is there or your new employer (where you are going to join now) may extend the facility of NPS at some later stage.
Most Welcome for further clarifications, if any. Thanks.

hey so i am 21 years old and i am 3rd dropper and didn't get mbbs so i want to do btech because i am a pcmb student so i want to do btech i ece from a private college a tier 3 college so then i do mtech or by clear gate i gate the psu or may be mba so from mba side i think to not take btech but take bsc in biology so it get easier compare to btech but bsc is not a profession course so it get so confusing and this 3 year gap may create a problem for me to get the placement or to get in B school i got 81 in class 12 and 96 in class 10 please give me advise

Ans: Right now the priority is to take admission in Graduation course. Take up something that you are interested in - either Engg or BSc. Even with 3 year gap it is possible to get into a goo B school. But you can take a call on that later. First focus on securing admission to your graduation course.
