Dear Pooja
We have one-and-a-half year old Alsatian.
Once the lockdown norms ease up, we want to take a short weekend holiday.
She has never travelled in a car before.
We cannot leave her behind.
How do we prepare her for this?
Kavya Mansir

Ans: Dear Sanjay,
What would you do if something like this happened in your house? Suggest the same to your friend.
But also, before accusing or doubting someone, please make sure that your friend has not misplaced the money.

All the best!

Ans: Eligibility for Section 54F
Section 54F provides capital gains exemption when selling assets like stocks.
You must invest the full net sale proceeds in a residential property.
The new flat must be purchased within two years or constructed within three years.
You should not own more than one residential house at the time of sale.
Treatment of Bank Loan Under Section 54F
Exemption applies only to the portion funded by stock sale proceeds.
The bank loan portion is not considered for exemption.
You need to invest the entire net sale proceeds to claim full exemption.
Registration Charges and Stamp Duty
Registration charges and stamp duty qualify as part of the property cost.
These expenses can be included for exemption under Section 54F.
However, only the part paid from capital gains is eligible.
Ensuring Full Exemption
If you reinvest only part of the net sale proceeds, the exemption is partial.
Any remaining capital gain will be taxed.
To avoid tax, the full capital gain amount must be reinvested.
Tax Implications If Conditions Are Not Met
If you sell the new property within three years, the exemption is reversed.
The capital gain becomes taxable in the year of sale.
Ensure compliance with all conditions to retain tax benefits.
Alternative Planning Strategies
If full reinvestment is not possible, consider capital gains bonds.
These bonds provide an alternative exemption under Section 54EC.
This helps in tax-efficient planning while keeping liquidity options open.
Final Insights
Section 54F helps save tax if proceeds are fully reinvested.
The bank loan portion does not qualify for exemption.
Registration costs can be included but only if paid from capital gains.
Ensure compliance to avoid future tax liabilities.

Congratulations on achieving a 98.5 percentile in your JEE Main examination.
Yes, you have a good chance of getting into NITs, but the branch and NIT will depend on:
Your home state (since HS quota has lower cutoffs)

Ans: Your Best Chances
For CSE: NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, NIT Sikkim, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Manipur
For ECE: More options available, including NIT Puducherry, NIT Agartala, and others. See previous years' cut off

Ans: For SC candidates aiming for NIT-Trichy through JEE Main, a minimum percentile of around 58-62 is expected for qualifying, but securing a higher percentile is crucial for a better chance of admission, especially for competitive programs like Computer Science. I think she will surely get admission in NIT-Trichy. Best of luck. Professor.........................:)
