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.

We sold out father's bungalow Built in 1970 costed around 25 lacs We sold it to 96 lacs last year What will be capital gain tax ? we don't have bills of renovation as of now since sister is quarreling she is refusing to give regn copy of last year purchase even bungalows receipts she is not giving Now what to do? 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.

Sir I am choosing LNMIIT CSE over IIITS ece . My motive to do so was to get a better college life and overall development but now I have heard from some people that LNMIIT teacher deduct marks unnecessarily and it's curriculum is very hard. Is it true? Is the environment in LNM Depressing ? Please help me gurus if anyone of you have Acurate information and insights about LNM.

Ans: Hello dear.
Sorry to say, we are totally unaware of the matter you mentioned regarding LNMIT. It is highly recommended to visit the campus and ask the students directly about the reality instead of asking someone else. It is better to prefer CSE at LNMIT for better exposure, CSE placements, a better coding environment, and broader tech opportunities. SUNO SABKI KARO MANKI. Visit the campus, then make your decision.

sir.. my son is getting iit danbad from round 1 to 5, there is a chance that he may get metallurgy at iit indore in round 6, should he wait for round 6 or withdraw and apply for csab also what cgpa is required for branch change to core branch at iit indore. confused pls reply

Ans: Hello dear.
Do not withdraw. Wait for the next round. Mettalugry @ IIT Indore will be an excellent option. Both CSAB and JOSAA follow the same pattern of counseling. Once you withdraw from JOSAA, there might be an issue with CSAB as well. If your son is confident about scoring a high CGPA, IIT Indore might be worth the risk for a future branch change. Otherwise, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is a solid and safer choice.

Good luck.
