I am 65 years old retired teacher having Rs 40,000 pm pension. This year I have LTCG of Rs 17 lakh by selling mutual funds. Should I pay advance tax?

Ans: If the property is purchased on or before 22nd July 2024, then only indexation benefit can be taken.
Cost of acquisition and improvement both shall be eligible
You can keep the gain in CAGS and should be utilised with in 2 years for purchase or 3 years for construction of house
If you fail to invest in new property within given time frame, the capital gain exemption claimed earlier shall be withdrawn and Tax shall be payable along with Interest.
CAGS should be opened and funded within 6 months from date of sale or due date of filing of Return of Income, whichever is Earlier

Ans: Since it is transferred in Oct 2024 or later, if you sell it before 2 years from the date of transfer in your nmae, it shall be short term capital gain and wont be allowed any capital gain exemptions. You shall be eligible for exemptions only on Long Term Capital gain, so you will have to sell the flat 2 years after the date of transfer of flat in your names.

Ans: If you are Resident in India, then global income shall be taxable in India

Ans: Hello;

It is good to note that you are curious to know about investments at an early age.

Keep expenses worth 6 months as emergency fund.

Have a term insurance cover in which you can extend amount of cover based on life stages.

Use NPS for your retirement planning.

For all other financial goals such as:
1. Funds for Marriage
2. Home purchase down payment corpus build
3. Vacation planning
4. Car purchase
5. Children's education

You may plan SIPs of various durations into type of mutual funds that are in sync with your risk appetite, financial profile and time horizon.

Mutual funds can be used to invest in various asset classes such as domestic equity, international equity, debt, gold, real estate etc.

Some social security scheme subscription is also desirable (PPF/EPF).

Also carry good healthcare insurance if you are not in government employment.

Please feel free to revert for any other doubts.

Best wishes;
