Sir, I am having long term gain of 524352 and Short term Gain of 932400 and F&O loss of 512352. No other income. Pls advise how my tax liability would be calculated.
Ans: To calculate your tax liability in India based on the provided information, we need to consider the tax rates for long-term capital gains (LTCG) and short-term capital gains (STCG), as well as the treatment of losses from Futures and Options (F&O).

Long-term capital gains (LTCG):

LTCG on shares is taxable at a rate of 10% if the gains exceed Rs. 1 lakh.
In your case, the LTCG is Rs. 524,352, which is below the threshold of Rs. 1 lakh. Therefore, tax is payable on the LTCG @ 10% of Rs. 424,352 = Rs. 42435/=
Short-term capital gains (STCG):

STCG on shares is taxable at the applicable income tax slab rates.
Assuming you fall under the highest income tax slab rate of 30%, the tax on STCG would be calculated as follows:
STCG tax = STCG * tax rate
= 932,400 * 30%
= 279,720
Losses from Futures and Options (F&O):

F&O losses can be set off against both long-term and short-term capital gains.
In your case, the F&O loss is Rs. 512,352.
Since you have both long-term and short-term gains, you can set off the F&O loss against these gains.
Calculating the tax liability:

Net Short-term Capital Gains (STCG): 932,400

F&O Loss: -512,352

Taxable Short-term Capital Gains: 932,400 - 512,352 = 420,048

Tax on Short-term Capital Gains: 420,048 * 30% = 126,014.40

Total Tax Liability:
Tax liability = Tax on Short-term Capital Gains
= 126,014.40

Long term capital = 42435=20

Hello sir I have taken a 1 year drop for neet 2025 from pw online . But now I am scoring only 300 in neet .Now i am very confused what to do should I take one more drop or chose any option. This time i want to join offline coaching and really want to work hard but afraid that the coaching centre after knowing my marks will give me their worst batch so what should i do ?
Ans: Hi Ritika,
You mentioned that you scored only 300 in NEET. While we can't make any judgments until the official results are published, I must say that a score of 300 is quite low.

If you're planning to reappear for NEET, that's a good decision! However, I understand you might be worried about the coaching classes placing you in a less suitable batch. I recommend attending for 2 or 3 days while attending the coaching just follow the below instructions.

Make a list of the subjects and chapters you find challenging. Discuss these areas with your coaching faculty and aim to ask at least 15-20 questions daily to clarify your doubts and enhance your understanding. Additionally, request tips and tricks for each chapter so that you can put in a lot of effort to reach your goal.

Alternatively, you can prepare 10 questions on your own and seek answers from your coaching faculty. If you maintain this practice throughout the course, you'll build your confidence, and the coaching staff may consider changing your group due to your proactive approach in asking questions.

Through NEET, you can also pursue other medical-related courses such as BAMS, BSMS, BHMS, BYMS, BNYS, and BDS.

If you don’t have confidence in yourself, you might consider dropping NEET and exploring other courses. However, I encourage you to take one chance and follow my suggestions.

Additionally, if you are not already practicing yoga and meditation, I recommend starting. These activities can help you concentrate better and reduce distractions while studying.

Best of luck!

Ans: Hi Ritika,
Good decision! Offline coaching is far better than online coaching because it allows you to focus on your studies more effectively.

You mentioned that you need to crack the exam, so here are some tips on how to do that:

First, identify which subjects and chapters you find challenging and make a list. Discuss these areas with your coaching faculty. Aim to ask at least 10 questions daily to clarify your doubts and enhance your understanding.
