Hello Kirtan, I am 35 years old and I am doing SIP of 17700. 4000 in TATA multicap, 3000 in TATA digital, 1000 in TATA small cap, 4400 in HDFC flexicap, 3300 in ICICI NIFTY 50 INDEX and 2000 in NIPPON INDIA SMALL CAP. What is your Opinion. I have no short terms goal. I just want to invest money for as long as I can.
Ans: It's great to see your commitment to long-term investing at 35. Your diversified SIP portfolio reflects a thoughtful approach to wealth accumulation. Let's delve into some insights:

Diversification: Your allocation across multiple fund categories - multicap, digital, small cap, flexicap, and index funds - spreads risk and captures growth opportunities across different market segments. This diversification is crucial for long-term wealth creation.
Focus on Growth: By investing in multicap and small cap funds, you're targeting companies across various market capitalizations, aiming for higher growth potential over the long term. Additionally, digital and flexicap funds offer exposure to sectors with significant growth prospects, aligning with your long-term investment horizon.
Index Fund Inclusion: Incorporating an index fund like NIFTY 50 INDEX provides exposure to the broader market while keeping costs low. It complements your actively managed funds and ensures broad market participation.
Review and Rebalance: Periodically review your portfolio's performance and asset allocation to ensure it remains aligned with your long-term goals and risk tolerance. Rebalance if necessary to optimize returns and manage risk effectively.
Overall, your investment strategy appears well-structured for long-term wealth accumulation. However, continue monitoring market trends and adjusting your portfolio as needed. Consulting with a Certified Financial Planner can provide personalized guidance tailored to your financial objectives and aspirations.

Your commitment to long-term investing is commendable, and with diligence and strategic planning, you're on track towards financial success.

Can you please suggest on capital gains as per Indian taxation laws arising in the below two queries : 1) property purchased with joint ownership, me and my wife’s name in 2015 at a cost of 64,80,000, housing improvements done for the cost of 1000000 and brokerages of 200000 paid and sold the same property at 10000000 in Dec 2023? 2) 87% of the proceeds got from the deal i.e 8700000, have been reinvested to pay 25% amount in purchasing another joint ownership property in Dec 2023, 3) I have invested in another under construction property in Nov 2023 by taking housing loan, which is on me and my wife’s name worth 1.4 cr, here the primary applicant is me only while wife is just made a Co applicant in the builder buyer agreement and also on the housing loan . So what are the LTCG tax liabilities arising from the above 3 scenarios for FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. I intend to sale off the property acquired in (2) by Dec 2024 and use that proceeds to close the housing loan for the property acquired in (3), will this sale of property be inviting any tax liabilities if the complete proceeds received from the sale of the property in (2) would be utilised to close the housing loan taken in Nov 2023 for the property in (3) ? Since in FY 23-24, I would be claiming the LTCG from the sale proceeds of 1) invested in the purchase of property in 2), and I intend to sale off this property in Dec 2024, will the LTCG claim be forfeited on the property sale in (1), should I hold this property at least for further 1 year so that sale of this property in 2) will not invite STCG?
Ans: (A). Let's first talk about F/Y 2023-24 :
You jointly sold a Property during the year for Rs.76.80 lakhs (64.80+10.00+2.00), & sold the same for Rs.100.00 lakhs.
You have jointly also purchased Property No.3 (I suppose it is Residential only), for Rs.140.00 lakhs.
You should avail exemption u/s-54 & file your ITR accordingly. Please disclose all details about sale & purchase in your ITR.
02. Now coming to the F/Y 2024-25 :
You intend to Sell Property No.2, which was acquired in 2023-24. Any Gain on Sale of it would be Short Term capital Gains & taxed accordingly.
Alternatively, you may hold this sale of property no.2 (for 2 years from its purchase) & avoid STCG
You are free to utilize the sale proceeds in a way you like, including paying off your housing Loan.
Please note to avail exemption u/s 54 only from investment in property no.3 & not 2.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
