Hello sir My mother selling a plot (residential land) and going to get amount of 40 laks, she wish to give that money to me (son) . She is a housewife mean not a income tax payer. 1.Did she need to pay tax. If so how much? 2. And if she given to me after paying tax should i also need to pay income tax.

Ans: Your Mother may have to pay short term or long term capital gain tax on the land sale transaction.

The tax will depend on period for which land property was held in her name and cost of (indexed cost if long term)acquisition.

Mother giving cash gift to her son is not taxed but the income you may derive from this lumpsum cash gift is taxable.

For working out detailed modalities of this tax liability please consult a CA/tax advisor.

Sir I have obc rank 1104 in jee advanced. Iam getting iit ropar cse In both round. I want iit indore mnc having closing rank 941 in round 2. I have more chance of getting Iit guwahati electronic and electrical engineering and iit Hyderabad electrical engineering having closing rank 976 and 996. Should I take risk for desired branch in round 6
Ans: With an OBC-NCL rank of 1104, IIT Ropar CSE is a confirmed seat (closing rank 1154) offering 87.95% average placement over three years, strong faculty engagement, modern labs, robust industry partnerships, NBA accreditation, and active research culture . IIT Indore Mathematics & Computing (closing rank 941) delivers 90% placement, interdisciplinary curriculum, advanced computational and mathematics labs, international collaborations, and UoE status, but your rank exceeds its cutoff, making admission unlikely . IIT Guwahati EEE (closing rank 2066) features 84% placement, specialized high-voltage and core electronics facilities, experienced faculty, NIRF-ranked labs, and strong PSU and tech recruiter ties . IIT Hyderabad EE (closing rank 1781) provides 75% placement, cutting-edge power electronics and IC design labs, multidisciplinary research, international MoUs, and NAAC A++ accreditation .

Recommendation: Do not risk IIT Indore M&C as your rank falls outside its cutoff; accept IIT Ropar CSE for guaranteed admission and high placement, or upgrade to IIT Guwahati EEE or IIT Hyderabad EE in Round 6 if branch preference for core electronics outweighs the certainty of the Ropar CSE seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
