Dear Sir, I am at prediabetic stage and as reffered by doctor I am taking daily 1 tablet of metformin 500 mg. My PP sugar level is below 200 and averagely 140 to 170. Should I continue to take tablet.

Ans: Please let me know what are your fasting and Pp blood sugar levels? what is your HbA1c?
Going by current information, you might need atleast twice metformin 500 mg alongside life style modifications. 140 to 170 pp is high and need more medication.

Old or new tax regime which is benificial

Ans: hi,
your question is very vast but trying to reply in simple words,
beneficial of tax regime differs person to person as per the type of income and invesments done by the assessee.
however new tax regime is promoted by the government with vast benefits with very low paper works but it doesn't mean that it will be beneficial to all assessee.
I found many cases while filing of Tax returns where old tax regime was beneficial for the assessee.

Sir, I had inherited a share in my father's property after his death. This property was purchased by father in 1967. No record of purchase price available. Last year in October 2024 I transferred my rights to my brother for ₹ 18 lakhs. I have no other income and not filing IT returns. Am I liable for LTCG?

Ans: hi,
yes you are liable to pay LTCG as transfer of share in inherent property is also treated as asset in Income Tax Act.
in your case you can use Fair market value for the base year for calcuation purposes i.e. for 01/04/2001.
Thanks
