I have inherited shares thru Will from my aunt in the year 2008 in the demat form. Since then I have kept as it is & never sold any of the shares as I'm not well versed with the market. Now as there was some urgent expense in the family I had to sell few shares. So Sir, my question is as I have inherited shares by Will, so should I have to pay Capital Gain tax on the sales of shares. If yes then how it is calculated. Please advise.

Ans: 01. There is no issue of inheritance involved in this case, as far as income tax is concerned.
02. If you sell shares, it would be subject to LTCG Tax under Income Tax.
03. Please note that only Gain would be taxed & not gross receipts from sale of shares.
04. There would be a tax exemption of up to Rs.1,25,000.00 per year on LTCG. Beyond this amount, it shall be taxed @12.50%.
05. If LTCG amount is more, then you may plan for certain other exemptions available under the income tax (u/s54F).
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Money

I had 100 shares of Motilal Oswal Financial Services as on June 1, 2024. They announced 3:1 bonus issue with a record date of June 10, 2024. How should I treat my share holding for Capital Gains purpose at the time of selling these shares in part lots : a.100 shares @ the original share purchase rate and 300 shares at NIL rate? b. 400 shares each @ 1/4th of the original purchase price? Need clarification in this regard.

Ans: Option a. As mentioned in your question is the way how it would be looked at, from capital gain tax perspective (100 shares at original price & date of purchase & 300 shares at zero price with date of allotment as reference for determining LT or STCG)

I was allotted free shares as if nonud shares. If I sell, what is the capital gain tax on it? At what rate? Thank you.

Ans: 01. Cost of shares sold would be treated as zero, since you have not paid any amount to acquire these shares. Keeping cost as zero, Capital Gain shall be worked out (Long Term is assumed). Tax rate in this case should be 12.50%.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

With the MHTCET score, your son has bright chances of securing a seat in either Pune or Mumbai at a tier 1 college. Choose the college options from Pune and Mumbai during the counseling process. One of the colleges will definitely be allotted to your son.
