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.

Hello Mr. Vivek, I am retired from private service and now doing technical consultancy, earning some monthly amount which is coming below taxable income. My father built a house on a plot, which was on my name about 30 year back at Chandigarh. The plot was on lease for 30 years and not a free hold. Now we like to sell it off. 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.

This 96 lacs amount is shared by 4 sister and we 2 brothers Or should I show some property investment in advance please guide me ikpl.ravi@ Gmail com

Ans: 01. As described in your question, you might have received Rs.16.00 lakhs (1/6 shares of Rs.96.00 lakhs), in your account.
02. Keeping in view the cost details which have mentioned, LTCG would just be negligible (may be less than Rs.1.00 lakh in your case). You may pay tax on the same & go ahead, instead of involving in any sort of litigations.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

My daughter got Mains 87.044 percentile and AIR 201453 and OBC NCL (Female) Category Rank 69892. Please share possibilities of getting seat in NITs / IIITs / GFTIs. Native state Telangana

Ans: HI SIR,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Considering your daughter's rank, she has potential opportunities in lower-tier NITs, newer IIITs, or home-state GFTIs, especially during the JoSAA or CSAB rounds. Since you are from Telangana, less competitive branches such as Biotechnology (BT) and Metallurgical Engineering (Met) Chemical Engg may only be available during special rounds. Encourage her to actively participate in the counseling process to secure the best possible options.
Best of luck!

My son has got 93.88percentile in JEE mains 2026 with General rank 95539 and OBC NCL rank 31008 in tamilnadu . I request you to kindly guide me can he get admission in any nits iiits .

Ans: Based on your son's score, chances of admission to NIT Trichy CSE/ECE are extremely low, and even lower branches may be difficult due to the high cutoffs at NIT Trichy. Admission to IIITs for CSE/ECE through regular JoSAA rounds is also challenging, but it is advisable to try CSAB Special Round for newer IIITs and GFTIs. Consider options like IIIT Agartala, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Ranchi, Assam University, Gurukula Kangri, and BIT Mesra off-campuses, provided you and your son are mentally prepared for these campuses. Additionally, it is recommended to have 5–6 backup options in reputed private engineering colleges apart from participating in TNEA counselling, such as SSN, SNU, Sastra, Amrita, VIT, Sathyabhama, Saveetha and also some other reputed Private Engineering Colleges based on your/son's preferred locations within Tamil Nadu, instead of relying only on JoSAA. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
