Sir, I had inherited a share in my father's property after his death. This property was purchased by father in 1967. No record of purchase price available. Last year in October 2024 I transferred my rights to my brother for ₹ 18 lakhs. I have no other income and not filing IT returns. Am I liable for LTCG?

Ans: hi,
yes you are liable to pay LTCG as transfer of share in inherent property is also treated as asset in Income Tax Act.
in your case you can use Fair market value for the base year for calcuation purposes i.e. for 01/04/2001.
Thanks

Dear Mihir Sir, Good after noon. I have a question for LTCG. Sir I acquired a residential plot in March 2018 for Rs. 20,00,000 and spent immediately Rs. 3,50,000 on foundation and boundary fencing. The property was held for almost 4.5 years and I sold it in December 2022 for Rs. 30,00,000. I spent the whole amount in constructing a new house. I had only one house property where I spent the whole amount. Am I liable to pay any LTCG for AY 2023-24? If yes, please tell how much am I liable to pay? Thanks.

Ans: If the construction is completed within 3 years of transfer of residential plot, you are not liable to pay tax on LTCG on transfer of plot.

I booked a Flat in 2008 for 46L, paid all instalments in 2010, got possession in 2013, got registered in 2018, sold in 2023 for 78 L. The agreement value and registry value was same. As per indexation am I liable for any LTCG ❓

Ans: Considering your investment in Residential Property Rs.48.00 L in F/Y 2010-11, which you sold in F/Y 2023-24 for Rs.78.00 L, there will not be any LTCG, after considering Indexation.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Career

Sir, My father forced me to B-tech engineering degree. I completed my B-tech in chemical engineering in 2008 but our college didn't gave any placementin core chemical. I wanted to go for higher education like M-tech or MBA, but my father didn't make that happen. I gave many interviews from outside in pvt sector and not selected in the final interview. I also qualified in PSUs and same thing happened not qualified in the final selection process. In PSUs also they are wanting higher education. Recently I have done one internship in AI with project from Skillible and one internship in cyber security with project from Edunet foundation. I have 2 years of experience as a math expert in Chegg India. What will I do, please suggest. My father has completely ruined my life.

Ans: Nodody can ruin your career if you have the potential. Your father is not your enemy.
1. Further Education (If Feasible)
If higher education was a roadblock before but is now an option, consider pursuing an M.Tech (Chemical/AI/Cybersecurity) or an MBA (Operations, Data Analytics, or IT Management).
Distance learning programs from IITs, NITs, IIMs, and ISB could also be beneficial.
GATE 2025: If you're still interested in PSUs, qualifying GATE again with a high rank could give you opportunities.

2. Alternative Careers in Mathematics and Teaching
Since you have experience as a math expert at Chegg, you could look at:
Government teaching jobs (NET, SET exams).
Private coaching (IIT-JEE/NEET coaching institutes like FIITJEE, Aakash, etc.).
Online tutoring platforms (Vedantu, Unacademy, Byju’s, Cuemath, etc.).
Actuarial Science or Data Analytics, which involve heavy mathematical modeling.

These are few options. Many are available. Work hard.

Hey... Five years ago, I confessed my feeling to my crush. She declined my proposal politely and asked me to be friends. I respected her decision of putting down my proposal but i didn't want to in friendzone so I broke my contract with her. Since then we never encountered each other. After fuve years one of our mutual friends met her and she was asking him about me. She did ask him about me twice. I know this can be her normal behavior. I want to know if she thinks about me or if she wants to get connected?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Like you mentioned, it is very normal for old friends to enquire about each other, especially if they have not been in touch for a long time. It might be the same in this case. The only way to tell for sure is to ask her. If you are interested in reconnecting, you can think about the same and ask her once you are back in talking terms. But I would recommend not assuming anything and getting your hopes up.

Best Wishes.
