I have one younger brother and I have share 50% of sell amount with him. Can the tax liability on capital gain, which may be on me, be share with him or not. Please advise. Thanks in advance. R. Lal

Ans: Hello, yes the liability of tax can be shared by both. If the income is coming in your account, you can pay the entire amount of tax and then split the remaining with your brother.

My father in law had a house which he constructed in 1990 on a plot cost was 2 lakhs. After his demise the house is being sold for 78 lakhs jun 2024. The proceeds of sale went to mother in law and two daughters. 33.3% each. How will be the capital gain tax be calculated and how will it tax liability for all three. All three are not working now. Help

Ans: Each of the beneficiaries shall file ITR separately and pay tax under the head Long Term Capital Gains. Since the plot is sold in June 2024, it shall be reported in ITR of A/Y 2025-26. Rate of LTCG Tax will be 12.50% (on gain only). Cost of plot as mentioned remains Rs.2,00,000.00, however please add Cost of Construction (which is not mentioned in the question) of house in the cost.
All the three are eligible for relief either by investing in house property or purchasing Capital Gains Bonds of NHAI or REC etc.
Most welcome for any further clarification. Thanks.

Money

Sir Recently my father (aged 73yrs) sold a property which belong to him. He to amount of Rs 25 lakh in his bank account. Will he have to pay capital gain in this case ? if No then its fine if yes then how much ? and suggest proper measures to nullify the capital gain tax. Thank you

Ans: Hello, if property is sold , then yes he definitely has to pay tax on it at 20% after indexation ( consult a CA as he will give a much precise answer in terms of tax outflow once you give him all the details )
There are multiple ways to save taxes , but my suggestion would be to pay taxes if any and to invest that money in an asset which yields good growth or a decent monthly income with growth and liquidity since your father is 73yrs old
In case of investments in Mutual Funds , you can select the following portfolio options for a retired person :
Equity hybrid - 20%
Large and mid cap - 30%
Multicap - 30%
Mid cap - 20%

Please note that these suggestions are based on your stated goals and the information you provided. It is always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor in person to better understand your risk tolerance, time horizon, and specific financial goals.

GM..Sir, I don't have any other income source and am been living on old savings which was over. So to survive, I want to sale my property which I had purchased @ 49 Lacs in Feb 2023. Today's, value is around 90L. In the meantime, I took gold loan of @9.9 L , and personal loan of @ 14 L. ehat is the tax payable by me and how much of these loans can be adjusted against income. How capital gain tax and income tax payable? Thanks in advance for your valuable guidance.

Ans: 01. Your loans, either Gold Loan or Personal Loan, shall have no impact on your income tax liability.
02. When you sell your property, you would be liable to pay LTCG (if you sell property after February-2025).
03. You should calculate LTCG without Indexation & pay 12.50%. This LTCG & tax liability can further be reduced by around Rs.3,00,000.00, since you have got no other income.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
