Ans: Your case is quite clear and favourable from a tax point of view. I will explain in simple terms.

» Nature of Capital Gain – Long Term or Short Term

The property was originally allotted to your father in 1988–89
You received it through a registered Will after his death in 2016

As per tax rules:

When property is received through inheritance, the holding period of the previous owner (your father) is also considered

So:

Holding period starts from 1988–89, not from 2016 or 2026

Hence:

On sale, it will be treated as Long Term Capital Gain (LTCG)

» Cost of Acquisition – Important Point

You can take the original cost of your father
Also, you can use indexation benefit from the year of purchase

This will reduce your taxable capital gain significantly

» Tax on Sale

LTCG on property is taxed at 20% with indexation benefit

» Exemption Option – Buying Another Property
Yes, you can save tax by reinvesting

Under Section 54:

You can buy another residential property
Time limits:
Purchase within 2 years after sale OR
Construct within 3 years

Conditions:

New property must be in your name
Capital gain amount (not full sale amount) should be invested

» Alternative Option – Capital Gains Bonds
If you do not want to buy property:

You can invest in specified bonds within 6 months
This also gives tax exemption

» Practical Suggestion

Plan the sale and reinvestment carefully
Calculate indexed cost before deciding reinvestment amount
Keep documentation of inheritance and original allotment safe

» Finally

Your gain will be treated as Long Term Capital Gain
You are eligible for indexation benefit
You can buy another property within 2 years to save tax
Proper planning can reduce tax significantly

Ans: Dear , Better you try for next attempt. For general category students Getting into NIT having low rank may not be possible. Yes if as we some streams have no takers , then could be possible but why to waste 4yrs for something which you may not enjoy?

Ans: Dear . That's good . Your son has fair chance of getting into stream of his choice and NIT around the state. Let the location be open . You should concentrate on stream of your son's choice . Pl remember CSE is in high demand now a days.
