Ans: Anshu, You should not face significant issues during JoSAA Counselling, but minor problems may arise when reporting to your allotted college. Before that, ensure that your name on your mark sheet matches the name on your Aadhaar card, as name changes on the birth certificate are not permitted.

Depending on the institute’s policy, you may also be required to submit an affidavit if discrepancies persist. For now, focus entirely on your studies. Additionally, consider having a backup plan—appear for 5-7 other entrance exams instead of relying solely on JEE. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Me and My husband are unemployed, no pension, not earning. What would be my capital gain and what would be the tax we have to pay.

Ans: Assuming that the property was purchased during FY 2010-11, the indexed cost of acquisition works out to Rs.4305136. So Long Term Capital Gain shall be 1094863. This can be divided between you and son equally and after adding to other income, tax shall be calculated at 20% for your son. For you if no other income then amount remaining after basic exemption limit shall be taxable at 20%

My question is regarding purchasing 1 bhk flat as investment. I am living in good society in Wagholi in terms of amenities and basic facilities. I am planning to buy 1 bhk flat for 34 lacs. Which bit lesser than what actual price in our society. I am thinking of paying emi through the rent which I am going to receive. Please advise

Ans: Hello;

Think about the following points before making the investment:

1. If the flat remains unlet for 6 months or more, worst case scenario, will you be able to service the loan through your own income during that phase.

2. Why is the flat available at a price lesser than its fair market value? Is their any flipside?

3. In case you need funds urgently, can you liquidate the flat in 3-4 weeks time?

You can plan your purchase after satisfying yourself on the above points.

I have debt of 80k and i dont have any source of Income as because my just a student.Also my parents are not capable to pay that much amount.How can i fundraise?

Ans: Hello;

You may take-up part time job somewhere so as to atleast pay the loan EMIs.

You may let the loan company impound asset acquired under the loan(bike, cell phone) and close the loan sighting inability to repay. This will impact your cibil score but it can be improved later on.

Seek help from a friend or relative to close the loan. You may repay them later when you get employed.

Avoid credit cards, BNPL, MTF and other borrowings as much as possible.
