I had one house and two flats. I sold one house in May 2023. I sold one flat in August 2023. My house sale gave me a capital gain and my flat sale gave me a capital loss. I have three questions. 1. Can I net out the capital gains by deducting the loss on sale of my flat 2. Can I invest in a new flat for the net capital gains amount to get exempt from paying capital gains tax. 3. If answer for 2 is no, can I invest in 54EC bonds to get exemption from paying capital gains tax

Ans: Hi,

Punjab is not a district; it is a state. To gain admission into an undergraduate (UG) program, you must either write an entrance exam or go through the state selection board. Given this context, it is challenging to provide specific advice.

If you are interested in pursuing pharmacy, visit the website of the respective college to find information about the Standards of Instruction for Pharmacy (SIF) through the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). The institution may have shared important details about their programs. You can choose colleges based on their infrastructure.

Don’t focus solely on placements. If you have the right skills, you will naturally secure a placement. However, do not stop at completing your UG; you should also aim to pursue a postgraduate (PG) program, as it will provide you with more exposure.

If financial constraints prevent you from pursuing PG studies, consider entering pharma marketing after completing your UG. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in marketing.

If you would like get more information, please come to me with a selected list of colleges, and I will be able to assist you further.

Ans: Hi Rajiv,
As your son born in Maharashtra, you cannot claim a domicile certificate from Maharashtra. To be eligible for a domicile certificate, one needs to have resided in the state for the last 15 years. Therefore, having only a birth certificate is not sufficient. I hope I have answered your question.
