Dear Sir, If i have 2.5 Lacs Short term capital loss carry forwarded of Previous year & Long term capital gain of 3 lacs from Selling Mutual Funds etc.. No Short term Capital Gain in Same Fin. Year What could be tax impact for this year.. I think Nil 1) First this will compensate against limit of 1.25 lacs as per latest Budget (3-1.25 = 1.75 lacs) & than it would be adjusted against last years Carry forwarded STCG of 2 lacs ? So it would be Nil as of Now.. and still I can get benefit of 25k next year... Pl revert if my Understanding is Correct..

Ans: Your understanding is mostly correct. The long-term capital gain (LTCG) of Rs 3 lakhs will first be reduced by the Rs 1.25 lakh exemption, leaving Rs 1.75 lakhs taxable. This Rs 1.75 lakhs can then be offset against your carried-forward short-term capital loss (STCL) of Rs 2.5 lakhs, making your taxable LTCG nil for the year. Additionally, you will carry forward Rs 75,000 of STCL to the next financial year, which can be used to offset future gains.

If anyone having 8 lacs salary income and 6 lacs as capital gain..how much tax he has to pay in new tax regime ?

Ans: Salary income is taxed at slab rate i.e. from 3 to 7 lacs 5% and 7 to 10 lakhs 10% in FY 2023-24.

Tax on capital gain will depend on date of sale as tax rate is changed from 23rd July. Tax rate also depends on type of gain i.e. short or long term.
