My daughter is staying abroad and housewife. She sold her plot for 14 lacs for her son's education. This amount was sent to her husband a/c abroad from her brother's local indian a/c. Should she submit IT? Plz clarify.

Ans: 01. Since she has sold plot in India, there must be some Capital Gains, which are subject to Income Tax. So she needs to file her ITR in India.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Hello Sunil ji, I am kedar & age 61, asking a question regarding the taxation on the amount of inheritance to my wife. After death my father in law (sasur ji) few years back, My mother in law (my sasu ma) had taken a decision regarding the agricultural land in their small town, which was purchased by the grandfather of my wife (father of my father in law) is develped and made it in the NA plots as per town planning scheme. these plots are now ready to sale. My sasu ma want to disribute the amont sold of these real estate plots., to her three married daughters including my wife. sir, here please guid us, regarding the amount recieved to my wife through her mother's house, is liable for any tax like capital gain or it will be treated as gift tax free amonut from mother's house as a stri-dhan (स्त्री-धन) and treated a tax free inheritance amont from her parants. kindly guide. thanks.
Ans: Hi Kedarji
Based on your question, apparently on property records, your mother-in-law is the owner of the land. I do not wish to get into the legal heirship aspect of the land post your father-in-law's demise and hence i would restrict my answer within the perspective of your query.

As your MIL is the legal owner and she is the person selling the land, she will be the person liable to tax for the capital gain arising on sale of the NA land.

The distribution of the net sale proceeds to the 3 daughters could be treated as gift backed up with the relevant paper work such as executing the gift deed etc., to ensure that there is no further taxability to the 3 daughters

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
