My husband and mother-in-law own a plot of land jointly which was inherited through a will and gift deed from my husband's grandfather. We now wish to build a house on the said plot of land. We plan to finance it by selling investments in stocks and mutual funds where even I would be contributing along with my husband and his mother by selling my investments. Can I and my husband claim a deduction under IT sec 54F for capital gains on sale of our investments if we construct a house on that plot? Can I be entitled to such a claim if I am not a owner of said plot but I invest my capital gains and sale proceeds into construction of the house?

Ans: yes, if the net consideration from sale of the investments is less than the cost of the construction, then the whole of such long term capital gain shall be exempt subject to other prescribed conditions.

I have been allotted computer engineering in thapar university. How is the branch.. What difference is there between coe and cse. Are there any placement differences?

Ans: Good. While "COE" and "CSE" can sometimes be used interchangeably to refer to computer engineering and computer science, respectively, they represent distinct fields of study. CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) generally focuses on the theoretical aspects of computing, algorithms, and software development, while COE (Computer Engineering) emphasizes the hardware and software interaction of computer systems. Don't think of placement much. Study properly. Leave this servant oriented mindset and try to be a entrepreneur. This ghost of placements are injected the brain of children by the sad, bad and mad society.
