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

Relationship
I am 31 years old and have been married for 6 years. My relatives keep pressuring me and scaring me, saying that I haven’t had a child yet and that I should have one now. However, we are not financially prepared at the moment. We have just bought a house, and the loans have recently started, which exhausted all our savings for the down payment. My husband’s family had a very weak financial background. They had nothing, and he struggled a lot, even living in someone else’s house to complete his education. Only he knows how hard it was. Now, his salary has improved, and I am also employed. Additionally, we are entirely responsible for my in-laws, as my husband’s elder brother neither got married nor provides any support for the parents. We are under a lot of pressure right now, but everyone just keeps asking us when we are going to have a child. I’ve seen how my husband struggled with limited finances when the family was financially weak, and I don’t want to show such hardships to our children. On top of that, I am overweight and focused on losing weight to ensure I can be healthy. I feel very stressed and confused, but my husband is fully supportive of me.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First of all, I am really glad that you are being so responsible and practical, rather than making such life-changing decisions based on emotions alone. Second, don't worry about other's opinions; they might have your best interest at heart, but this should be solely your decision. You should have a child only when you are ready to have one- both mentally, physically, and financially. And no hard and fast rule says you should have a child within a certain year of your marriage. Two people in a marriage is a whole family too; a child can add to the joy if that is what you want. But if not, your family is still complete. Please remember that.

Take care of your health and your mind. If you are worried about your age, you can always go see a doctor and see how many years you can delay this. Rushing is never a good idea.

Best Wishes.

Career
I'm a bsc botany graduate and now got admission and doing msc. I'm in first year and just gave my 1st semester exam but somehow now i feel i can't do botany at all its not just in my interest. I can't continue further with it as i dont think there's much scope too. I have interest in fields like geography or law related subjects. I'll be attempting for upsc too this year and also had a second thought to go for Law. Should i drop the msc? ....I've cried a lot thinking about that and its affecting my mental health too.
Ans: Hello dear.
First I would like to suggest that, in any way, you first complete your M.Sc. (Botnay) either with interest or without interest. Who told you that there is less scope in Botany? There are a lot of career options after M.Sc. (Botany).It is good that you are interested in geography and are attempting UPSC this year. Dear, along with your M.Sc. you can easily appear for UPSC and do the study of Geography, after completing your M.Sc. you can take the admission to Law course. Many people do the law even after their retirement or in due course of their service. There is no need to cry about the things which happened to you.
Suggestions: (1) Completer M.Sc. (Botany) by any means (2) Space-time to read Geography and UPSC Syllabus (3) Develop your overall personality and try to engage in some extracurricular activities of your interest.
Best of luck for your upcoming bright future.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.
