I have been carrying forward a capital loss from an apartment sale from FY 2019-20. Since then every year I'm using that to adjust against capital gains from Equity Mutual funds. I have been filing tax under the Old regime primarily because I have a home loan also. However, given the lower rates announced in the recent budget, the new regime may be more beneficial to me from FY 2025-26 onwards. If I shift to the new regime can I continue to carry forward the remaining amount of the capital loss and use that to adjust against capital gains from equity mutual funds? If that's not allowed in the new regime, then can I redeem the mutual funds and reinvest again before 31-Mar-25 thereby generating capital gains to the extent of the remaining amount of the carried forward capital loss, so that it would not go unused?

Ans: New tax regime restrict carried forward of losses related to specified deductions only. Accordingly, capital loss can be carried forward to future years.

I am 68 years old, a diabetic for past 20 years and hypertensive for 15. I underwent CABG in 2011. Currently on medication for all ailments. My diabetes and blood pressure are under control. For past 5 years, I have been off and on visiting and living with my daughter in England, often for 3 months at a stretch, in climate with average temperatures below 10C. It has been my experience that while in cold climatic conditions, with intake fo prescribed diabetic medication, my blood sugar level tends to go low, sometimes as low as 50-60 mg/dL. My diabetologist has only advised to halve does of Gemer DS (3 & 1000) (Glimeperide 3 mg+Metformin 1000 mg) 1BD. This has reduced the incidence but at times I feel dizzy & like blanking out and upon checking on glucometer find sugar level falling below 70 mg/dL. My question is: Is there a correlation between climatic conditions (Cold climate) and sugar levels in the blood? If so, how does it play out?
Ans: Cold weather can affect insulin sensitivity. Some studies suggest that cold exposure may increase insulin resistance, making it harder to control blood sugar levels. Cold weather often leads to changes in dietary habits which can affect blood sugar levels. Make a note if you are experiencing similar symptoms even while in a warm climate. Keep a check if you are shifting dietary habits in cold weather by consuming more low carb foods and if activity levels have increased simultaneously. Given your experience with low blood sugar levels in cold climates, it's essential to monitor your blood sugar closely and adjust your medication as needed. It's also a good idea to discuss your symptoms and experiences with your diabetologist to ensure you have a tailored plan for managing your diabetes in different climatic conditions.
