Sir , I have sold my residential property by executing registered sale deed on 30th June 2024 , am I entitled for indexing or not for LTCG tax calculation.

Ans: Hi,
The change in LTCG for real estate has been made effective from July 23, 2024. Since you have sold the property before this date, you should be able to apply for LTCG at old taxation with indexation.

I did sale agreement for my flat on 6 may 2024 but sale deed registration was done on 28 July 2024, will i get the indexation benefit in LTCG.
Ans: The Indian Budget 2024 introduced significant changes to the taxation of Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on property:

Removal of indexation benefit: This was the initial proposal.
Option to choose: Due to widespread criticism, the government later allowed taxpayers to choose between a 12.5% tax rate without indexation or a 20% tax rate with indexation.  
Key Factors for Your Case
Date of Sale Deed Registration: This is generally considered the date of sale for tax purposes. In your case, it's July 28, 2024.
Option to Choose: Since your sale deed registration is after July 23, 2024 (when the budget changes were announced), you have the option to choose between the 12.5% tax rate without indexation or the 20% tax rate with indexation.
Considerations and Recommendations
Consult a Tax Professional: Due to the complexity of the situation and potential tax implications, it's strongly recommended to consult a tax professional or chartered accountant. They can provide tailored advice based on your specific circumstances.
Analyze Both Options: Calculate the tax liability under both options (12.5% without indexation and 20% with indexation) to determine the most beneficial choice for you.
Consider Other Factors: Factors like the holding period of the property, the purchase price, and other expenses might also influence your decision.
Note: The sale agreement date (May 6, 2024) might not have a direct impact on the tax calculation in this case.

By carefully considering these factors and seeking professional advice, you can make an informed decision and optimize your tax liability.

Sir the median package at ssnce for cse core is less than rvce ise .So does it make more viable option considering placement in mind .I have a dream of becoming software engineer from my childhood. But my seniors are advising for rvce ise.what to do should I follow my dream or placement.I am a Bangalore resident and Tamil is my mother tongue.
Ans: Ashwin, my son, graduated from RVCE in 2023 and secured employment through campus placement with a reputable software company. Despite being among the highest achievers in COMEDK, he opted for ECE instead of the more accessible CSE. We did not compel him to join CSE. Following his second year, he progressively shown an interest in software and obtained several certifications through NPTEL, Internshala, and similar platforms. Regarding his experience, while ISE is commendable, CSE is the superior option. Simply enter 'RV placement statistics 2024'. Select the initial result to get the Placement Statistics of RV directly. The top placements are for Computer Science Engineering, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering, and then Information Science Engineering. The recommendations of your seniors, your personal interests, and the branch with the highest placement statistics are distinct considerations. Kindly review the Course Curriculum for both CSE and ISE and make a decision. Kindly review one of my detailed responses below, in which I have explicitly outlined the stages, recommendations, and methods that a first-year engineering student should adhere to till their fourth year for campus placement. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
