If a person buy new 2BHK flat for 65L in March 2023 & want to sale his old 1BHK flat for 40L (which was purchased in 2010), how dose it will be Tax applicable- if any (will it be considered as capital gain, how it is calculated?

Ans: Hi,

I am presuming that you want to clarify if the capital gain tax be avoided if the reinvestment of old 1BHK flat sale could be mapped against purchase of 2 BHK flat.

The reinvestment conditions specify that you could off-set the capital gain arising out of sale of a residential property by purchasing or constructing a new house within the stipulated timeframes.

If you have bought a ready possession property (new flat) then the timelines are 1 year back or 2 years forward from the date of sale of the old flat.

If you have bought an under construction flat then the timelines are 3 years forward from the date of sale of the old property.

An example would be as follows:

Purchase of 2BHK flat is say June 1, 2022 and date of sale of 1BHK is say May 1, 2023 - You could map the capital gains from 1BHK against the purchase of 2BHK ready possession flat. Similarly, if the purchase of the 2BHK flat was at anytime after May 1, 2023 but within 2 years from this date, then again the exemption would be allowed.

In the case of under construction property, all payments made to the builder after May 1, 2023 would be allowed upto a period of 3 years

Hello sir this is Nishat , I passed my 12th in the year 2023 with a good percentage but however I couldn’t see it for chemistry exam. So obviously I failed in that subject so I decided to again reappear for that exam and in 2024 I gave betterment exam from my state board in the subject biology and chemistry. However I scored far better in biology than last time but (Chemistry) I don’t know maybe it’s it’s because of the issues that we have with our board. I couldn’t score good marks so even I had decided to give (Chemistry) separately and so in 2024. I again set for (Chemistry) exam under nios I and I scored 80 so now the thing is that I’ll be having two mark sheet so while applying in need I cannot possibly select the code 2 because although I already have the state board certificate but the NIOS certificate is not yet out and it will be out by end of the March sir can I possibly select the code one that is appearing or will it create problems while counselling or is there any other option please help me out sir , I’m very desperate like I have prepared for neey for the last two years and I don’t want to put my hard work into vain. Please Sir help me out
Ans: Hello Nishtam
Please select code 1 without any fear. Focus more on your study. But considering your fear and anxiety with the chemistry subject, it is recommended that you choose other options than NEET. This time you appear without any fear.

If you like the reply, please follow me else ask again without hesitation.
Thanks
