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.

Ans: HI ARSHPREET,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS1
It is very difficult to secure a seat in an NIT through JoSAA. Utilize your Maharashtra domicile by participating in MHT CET counseling. Your options for top-tier state engineering colleges are significantly stronger through the state quota. Admission may be possible at newer NITs or GFTIs during the CSAB round. Otherwise, consider participating in centralized counseling for deemed universities and top private engineering colleges in Maharashtra that accept JEE Main scores.
All the best!
