Khurana Sahib...Namaskar...Pl.adv.if LongTerm Capital Loss incurred against FMV under Gr.Father Clause(31Jan2018) can be adjusted against LTCG in Equity redemptions in the FY.2023-24 or Both in the same FY..???...Thx.

Ans: 01. Long Term Capital Loss can be carried forward for 8 years & adjusted against LTCG during this period. Since there is no mention of date of Long Term Capital Loss, I can't confirm its adjustment during f/y 2023-24. Kindly watch the time line.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Dear Sir...Can the LTC Loss of Rs.3.5Lacs incurred against Flat Sale ( after 12Yrs) in May2023 can be adjusted against LTC Gains of Rs.4Lacs earned from Redemption of Eq.Shares & Mutual Funds ( after 5Yrs.) In June2023..and the Balane of Rs.50Thousand of LTC Gains be Exempted upto 01Lac. Also any Limit of upto 02Lac LTC Loss only can be adjusted against 4L LTC Gains in this FY 2023-24 and the Balance of 1.5L LTC Loss to be carried ovet in subsequent year which can be adjusted ONLY against LTC Gains earned from Property in that Year. Pl advise & Clarify...Thanks. Sanjiv Kumar.
Ans: Dear Sanjiv,

Based on the information available, it appears that you can indeed adjust your Long Term Capital (LTC) loss against LTC gains in the same financial year.

In your case, the LTC loss of Rs. 3.5 Lacs from the sale of a flat can be adjusted against the LTC gain of Rs. 4 Lacs from the redemption of equity shares and mutual funds. This leaves you with a balance LTC gain of Rs. 50,000.

As per the Income Tax Act, LTC gains up to Rs. 1 Lac are exempt from tax. Therefore, your balance LTC gain of Rs. 50,000 should be exempt.

Regarding the limit of LTC loss adjustment, there doesn't appear to be a specific limit of Rs. 2 Lacs for adjusting LTC loss against LTC gains. However, any unadjusted LTC loss can be carried forward to subsequent years and set off against future LTC gains.

Please note that this is a general interpretation based on the available information. For a more accurate understanding of your tax liability, I would recommend consulting with a tax professional or a chartered accountant who can provide advice based on a comprehensive understanding of your financial situation.

I hope this helps!

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;

Hello, my wife is Ugandan and I’m of English national, 30 years old and she’s 26, we met nearly a year ago and got married in uk with some of her friends and small family. We haven’t done kuchala (not sure if that’s correct spelling) yet and I’m feeling anxious for when the time comes. She said her family will kneel when they greet me and being white this is already stinging my moral (due to history). I also talked about moving in together before the meet the parents happen however she says she’s rather move in after? Currently this could take two years before going to Uganda, how should I proceed without overstepping her cultural beliefs as after all we are married and by my culture we should already be living together
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
It is very nice of you to be so considerate and sensitive while handling these cultural nuances. Let's discuss the kneeling tradition. It's a sign of respect and it's deeply rooted in Ugandan culture. While I understand your point of view, you also have to remember that it can have significant meaning to her and her family. I suggest you politely express your feelings and let her know why it is uncomfortable for you to see her family kneel. When you explain, mention how much her culture means to you as well. I am sure both of you can communicate and come to a compromise that makes you both happy. Just in case, they persist in following the ritual, just look at it as a gesture of love and respect and not submission.

About the moving in together part, in certain parts of the world, couples living together before the traditional wedding is not considered respectful. But since you are already married, you can try explaining to your wife how the living situation does not go against her cultural expectations. But if it is a really big deal for her and her family, consider seeing it from her perspective.

Communication is everything here. Look at every problem as a team; it's not your problem vs her problem. It's both of you vs the problems.

I hope this helps
