Money

I had an Apartment in Delhi which we purchased in 2002 in my and my wife name. now, we sold this in 2024 and got 50% each in my and my wife account separately. Question is how Capital gain Tax calculated. Both will pay separately to income tax based on 50% amount received from sale. 2nd question , if We want to invest in Capital gain Tax bond 54 EC then do we need to buy separately or in joint. could you help in this situation ?

Ans: 01. First of all, calculate LTCG on this transaction, considering Sale Value & Cost of purchase. You both shall file your ITR on the basis of 50% share of LTCG each.
02. If you purchase Capital Gain Bonds, these should be taken separately in the name of both of you. However, spouse can be a co-applicant, while purchasing these bonds or nomination in favor of your spouse can be made, to protect your interest.

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.

My wife and I have sold property (owned jointly by us) in August 2024 for 5 CR. It was a property that was gifted to me and my wife by my mother in May 2024. She had purchased it in 1995 for 2.5 Lacs. What would be the capital gains tax implications for both us or would it be only for either me or my wife? Will it be STCG or LTCG? Can we both buy NEC bonds for 50 Lacs each to save capital gains tax besides buying a residential house or land?

Ans: If property is registered in your as well as in the name of your wife, both will be liable to pay tax. Also in case of gift, period of holding starts from previous owner, so it will be LTCG.

NEC bonds are not covered in 54EC. Following bonds are eligible:

Rural Electrification Corporation Limited or REC bonds,
National Highway Authority of India or NHAI bonds,
Power Finance Corporation Limited or PFC bonds,
Indian Railway Finance Corporation Limited or IRFC bonds

I receive money on behalf of my friend from many persons and i collect that money in my account (around 30-40k everyday) and send it my friend’s account at once. So will i be taxed on this amount

Ans: It is always better to avoid yourself in getting involved in such transactions. IT Department may doubt these transactions. Once in a while for small amount, it is O.K. BUT never on regular basis.
Advice your friend to get the amount transferred in his account directly online & he should disclose such income in his ITR.

My mother had a DDA flat in her name and her father as co-allotee. Both have passed away now and I am the only daughter of my mother. How can I get the flat transferred in my name from the DDA. Please advise

Ans: It can easily be done if you have got WILLS of your Grand Father & Mother.
First your G/Father's share will be transferred in favor of your mother, on the basis of his WILL & then, your mother's share can be transferred in your favor, again on the basis of WILL of your mother. Both WILLS should be Registered.
