I very easily suffer from gas bloating and constipation. So I have been taking Harde table (Zandu's Haritaki) for last many years. I have focused on increasing fruits and vegetables in my diet. However, slowly my harde intake has gone up to 4 tablets daily to keep it clear everyday. 1 day of mild constipation & I am badly bloated so much that I even get labored breathing and mildy asthmatic. It feels like my intestines have stopped working. I have tried taking probiotic powders many times, and ayurvedic meds like pancharisht etc, but they are all temp relief. i eat curd or buttermilk almost everyday along with veggies or salad and fruit everyday , . However, its like walking on a precipice. 1 day of dinner at a wedding and I indulge, I am back to square one. I am vegetarian, dont smoke or drink, home meals are not very oily or spicy, have reduced eating out to max of once a week. I am 43M and overweight. But no BP or sugar as yet. What can I do to restore my gut and digestive system?

Ans: Gut health is addressed by sticking to Rice and millet based food. Avoid Milk and milk products
Take away wheat based products for two months and see if there is any change. If there is then probably you could substitute wheat with Millet

I'm 41 years old. I work from a 10 to 8 job in IT. I have good appetite. for the last 2 years I have been suffering from food digestion issue, gastric issues, and constipation. I consulted family doctor - who asked me to get endoscopy and colonoscopy done. All results were fine and nothing abnormal was reported. Got Liver test also done - and results were fine (however it came as non-alcoholic fatty liver). I burp a lot after every meal and puke some amount of food after every meal as well due to excess burping. I have stopped taking milk products also since 2 yrs. Some days im fine, some days its troublesome. Currently taking Pathanjali UDRAMRIT VATI daily 2 times. I see some good improvement (burping has reduced quite a bit as well as digestion feels better) - puking has reduced to just a few times here and there and not very regular. I have stopped eating non-veg food since 3 months now (earlier used to eat once a week). Any suggestion is appreciated doctor. Thanks

Ans: Early dinner before 7 pm preferably by 6/6.30 pm and eat Simple protein, avoid any kind of animal protein, no oily food and have complex carb
Stick to just one millet and avoid Multigrain concept

Tax Expert - Answered on Nov 23, 2024

Can you please suggest on capital gains as per Indian taxation laws arising in the below two queries : 1) property purchased with joint ownership, me and my wife’s name in 2015 at a cost of 64,80,000, housing improvements done for the cost of 1000000 and brokerages of 200000 paid and sold the same property at 10000000 in Dec 2023? 2) 87% of the proceeds got from the deal i.e 8700000, have been reinvested to pay 25% amount in purchasing another joint ownership property in Dec 2023, 3) I have invested in another under construction property in Nov 2023 by taking housing loan, which is on me and my wife’s name worth 1.4 cr, here the primary applicant is me only while wife is just made a Co applicant in the builder buyer agreement and also on the housing loan . So what are the LTCG tax liabilities arising from the above 3 scenarios for FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. I intend to sale off the property acquired in (2) by Dec 2024 and use that proceeds to close the housing loan for the property acquired in (3), will this sale of property be inviting any tax liabilities if the complete proceeds received from the sale of the property in (2) would be utilised to close the housing loan taken in Nov 2023 for the property in (3) ? Since in FY 23-24, I would be claiming the LTCG from the sale proceeds of 1) invested in the purchase of property in 2), and I intend to sale off this property in Dec 2024, will the LTCG claim be forfeited on the property sale in (1), should I hold this property at least for further 1 year so that sale of this property in 2) will not invite STCG?

Ans: (A). Let's first talk about F/Y 2023-24 :
You jointly sold a Property during the year for Rs.76.80 lakhs (64.80+10.00+2.00), & sold the same for Rs.100.00 lakhs.
You have jointly also purchased Property No.3 (I suppose it is Residential only), for Rs.140.00 lakhs.
You should avail exemption u/s-54 & file your ITR accordingly. Please disclose all details about sale & purchase in your ITR.
02. Now coming to the F/Y 2024-25 :
You intend to Sell Property No.2, which was acquired in 2023-24. Any Gain on Sale of it would be Short Term capital Gains & taxed accordingly.
Alternatively, you may hold this sale of property no.2 (for 2 years from its purchase) & avoid STCG
You are free to utilize the sale proceeds in a way you like, including paying off your housing Loan.
Please note to avail exemption u/s 54 only from investment in property no.3 & not 2.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

However, a maximum of Rs.5,00,000.00 is exempted u/s 10(10)(C), subject to certain conditions.

Question by Brahmendra - Nov 21, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello Sir, this is Brahmendra an IT professional for past 20 years. My son is studying +1 and preparing for JEE along with other engineering entrance exams. Academically, he is an above average student (scored 90% in class X CBSE) but has good aptitude & reasoning skills. Somehow, he likes to study mechanical engineering. Q1) Nationally, what colleges are good/best for mechanical? 2) In worst case, if he could not get into premium colleges like NITs, IITs, VITs & CBITs etc., can he still make a good career in that field? 3) Are there enough campus interviews happening for that branch in their industry and do they have enough off-campus opportunities? Being in IT industry, I am aware even an average student with good skills in programming can easily make their career. But when I was teaching him the programming in his previous classes, he did not find it interesting.

Ans: A1. IITs and NITs are best A2. In that case, he should do master's from foreign university A3. Campus interviews and off-campus is less than IT/CSE
