Dear Sir/Madam, My father is 80 Years old retired pensioner from Central Govt department. He is having one ancestral property which is being sold with Amount Rs.29lacs Approx. Now he want to transfer this amount equally between 2 Sons. Please advise how to handle this entire transaction process to avoid any tax implications from both end. One of his son having home loan running and currently under tax slab of 30% and other one is under tax bracket of 20% but not home loan in his name yet only Personal Loan and Car loan. Please guide. Hope I can able to explain the situation up to some extent.

Ans: 01. In absence of information, I suppose the property being sold is a Long Term Capital asset.
02. Please work out Cost of ancestral property, so that you can work out Capital Gain on it, after reducing the same from sale amount of Rs.29.00 lakhs.
03. LTCG will be taxed @12.50% with Indexation or @20.00% with Indexation. You can choose the option, where the LTCG is less.
04. Your father can Gift the amount to both sons without any tax implications. The Gift should be by cheque or online transfer and not in cash. Better if proper document for gift is prepared.
05. Both sons may use the gifted money in the way they like, including re-payment of loans, either housing or other loan.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
