i have earned 192000 ltcg gain in equity and 500000 ltcg gain in mutual fund which is equity based plan. how much income tax i pay after 1 lakh exemption. pl help

Ans: Sure, I can help you calculate your LTCG tax liability. Here's the breakdown:

LTCG Gains:

Equity: Rs. 192,000
Equity Mutual Funds: Rs. 500,000
Total LTCG: Rs. 692,000
Exemption:

Rs. 1,00,000 of LTCG is exempt from tax.
Taxable LTCG:

Rs. 692,000 (Total LTCG) - Rs. 1,00,000 (Exemption) = Rs. 592,000
Tax Rate:

LTCG on equity and equity-based mutual funds exceeding Rs. 1 lakh is taxed at 10% (without indexation benefit).
LTCG Tax Amount:

Rs. 592,000 (Taxable LTCG) * 10% (Tax Rate) = Rs. 59,200
Therefore, you would approximately have to pay Rs. 59,200 as LTCG tax on your capital gains.

Important to Note:

This is an estimate, and your actual tax liability might differ based on your other income and deductions.
It's always recommended to consult a qualified tax advisor for personalized tax advice based on your specific situation.

Am a senior citizen and pensioner. For FY 2023-24, i have to, may be, pay LTCG from equity mutual fund sale. 2.76 lacs received as sale proceeds. Statement provided by fund house shows '0' tax with indexation and 1.30 lacs without indexation. Out of the sale proceeds i have reinvested 1.00 lacs in ELSS fund. What will be my tax amount and which I. T. Return form should be used. Thanks n Regards
Ans: Based on the information you've provided, it's likely you won't have any LTCG tax liability for FY 2023-24. Here's why:

Sale proceeds: Rs. 2.76 lakhs
Reinvestment in ELSS: Rs. 1.00 lakh
ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme) investment qualifies for deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Up to Rs. 1.5 lakh invested in ELSS can be deducted from your taxable income.

Taxable LTCG (if any): Sale proceeds (Rs. 2.76 lakh) - Reinvestment (Rs. 1.00 lakh) = Rs. 1.76 lakh (assuming no indexation benefit for simplicity).
However, since your ELSS investment is Rs. 1.00 lakh, which is more than the potential taxable LTCG of Rs. 1.76 lakh, your entire LTCG might be exempt under Section 80C.

Tax implication: With full exemption under Section 80C, you likely won't have any LTCG tax to pay for FY 2023-24.

IT Return Form:

Considering the potential for minimal or no taxable income, ITR Form 1 (Sahaj) might be suitable for you. However, it's always best to consult a tax professional for confirmation based on your complete financial picture.

Disclaimer: This is a simplified analysis based on the information provided. Consulting a registered tax advisor is recommended for personalized advice considering your specific tax situation and any other income sources you might have.
