The Interest Income earned from such Fixed Deposit or the Rental Income earned by her will be taxed in her hands or in my hands. I am informed that such Income will be taxed in the my hands as Income from Other Sources and not taxed at the hands of my sister. What is the logic of this taxation?

Hi doctor, I am 44 years old, and my menstrual cycle is currently 20 days. I got my period on September 30, 2024, and then I took an emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill) on October 9. I had my regular period on October 21. Now, I have missed my second period; today is October 22, and I still have not started. How long should I wait for my period to arrive, or should I take a pregnancy test? This was my first time using an i-pill, so I would like some advice. Is it normal to have a delay after taking an I-pill? How many days could it be delayed? Please suggest what I should do.

I recently sold a piece of land inherited from my father for ?62 lakh. Since both of my parents are deceased, I am their sole legal heir. Under Section 54EC of the Income Tax Act, I am eligible to invest up to ?50 lakh in government bonds to save on long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax. These bonds offer an interest rate of 5.25% and have a lock-in period of five years. After making this maximum investment of ?50 lakh, I am left with a remaining amount of ?12 lakh. I would like to know if there is any way to utilize this remaining ?12 lakh without incurring LTCG tax on it. Additionally, I currently have a personal loan with an outstanding balance of ?10 lakh, and I am considering using this ?12 lakh to pay off that loan. Can I use these funds to close my loan without triggering any LTCG tax implications?

I have 2 under-construction flats of 35L each ( i.e. total 70L ) which I had got via government lottery in the name of my Mother and Father respectively. Based on the status I think it will take another 2 years to be completed ( i.e. by 2026 ) and then I intend to sell them immediately after getting possession. This sale should fetch me around 1.2 Cr. I am planning to buy a new flat which would cost around 1.9 Cr and I will take a home loan to the max possible extent based on eligibility ( my yearly gross income is 40L ). The flat is a new launch and is expected to be completed and handed over by 2028. Will I be eligible to claim capital gains tax ( STCG or LTCG? ) exemption on that sale mentioned before, if I buy this flat now?

Sir, While filing the return for AY 2024-25, I had, by mistake, paid the balance of tax amount and TDS i.e. Self-Assessment Tax twice through online procedure. Both these amounts appeared in AIS under different BSR Codes and challan numbers on the same date. In the return, obviously, only one of the amounts had been entered and hence only one of the amounts was accounted for in the tax calculations while the other amount remained unaccounted, though appearing in AIS. The return has been duly processed under 143 (1) with no demand- no refund. Now, the question is- how can the unaccounted and unused amount appearing in AIS for AY 2024-25 shown as Self-Assessment Tax can be utilised for the next AY, viz 2025-26 as Advance Tax? What procedure should be followed? Alternatively, can this unused amount be claimed as a refund, through a revised return showing both these amounts or a rectification return would be appropriate? Shall be grateful if you kindly guide me as to how to do this. R M Khatsuria, Pune
