Money

I HAVE SOLD ONE PROPERTY IN JUNE 2024 RESULTING A PROFIT OF RS. 2.00 LACS LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN, BEFORE NEW AMENDMENT OF LTCG TAX LAWS,. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT THE INDEX COST WILL BE APPLICABLE IN THAT CASE OR NOT AND WHAT % OF TAX I HAVE TO PAY I.E. 20% OR 12.5%

Ans: Hi,
The change in LTCG for real estate has been made effective from July 23, 2024. Since you have sold the property before this date, you should be able to apply for LTCG at old taxation with indexation.

I recently sold a piece of land inherited from my father for ?62 lakh. Since both of my parents are deceased, I am their sole legal heir. Under Section 54EC of the Income Tax Act, I am eligible to invest up to ?50 lakh in government bonds to save on long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax. These bonds offer an interest rate of 5.25% and have a lock-in period of five years. After making this maximum investment of ?50 lakh, I am left with a remaining amount of ?12 lakh. I would like to know if there is any way to utilize this remaining ?12 lakh without incurring LTCG tax on it. Additionally, I currently have a personal loan with an outstanding balance of ?10 lakh, and I am considering using this ?12 lakh to pay off that loan. Can I use these funds to close my loan without triggering any LTCG tax implications?

Ans: 01. You have sold the land for Rs.62,00 lakhs. This is the Sale amount & not Capital Gain.
02. Please work out LTCG by reducing Cost of Land from this sale amount. May be you LTCG is less than 50.00 lakhs & it serves your purpose.
03. However, I would like to suggest you to invest the amount in any residential property, which would enable you to save LTCG tax and also provide you lucrative return, instead of 5.25%, as offered by the bonds. It would also reduce LOCK-IN period from 5 to 3 years.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

I got 2300 OBC RANK IN JEE B ARCH.BUT MY 12 PERCENTAGE IS 73.5.CAN I APPLY FOR JOSAA OR WAIT FOR MY IMPROVME NT RESULT THEN APPLY FOR CSAP. One more answer whether the result of improvement come before CSAP counselling ,

Ans: You can apply for JoSAA now, but for CSAB, you should wait for improvement results if they can raise your 75% eligibility, because CSAB eligibility requires meeting criteria. Improvement results usually come before CSAB rounds, but timing is not guaranteed, so plan cautiously. It is better to explore other options from a safer point of view.
