Question by Suvendu - Feb 01, 2025Hindi

Old or new tax regime which is benificial

Ans: hi,
your question is very vast but trying to reply in simple words,
beneficial of tax regime differs person to person as per the type of income and invesments done by the assessee.
however new tax regime is promoted by the government with vast benefits with very low paper works but it doesn't mean that it will be beneficial to all assessee.
I found many cases while filing of Tax returns where old tax regime was beneficial for the assessee.

Money

am having flat in hyderabad which was registered as gift deed in 2009 and if i want to sell the flat on today date the valve may be 75 Lakhs what can be capital gain. Actual cost was 2.2 lakhs in 1986 . As my age is 65 years and i dont want to use for contruction or investment in new flat. How can i save capital gain. Your advise

Ans: Whatever LTCG (Long Term Capital Gain) is there, you may purchase Capital Gain Bonds (maximum limit is Rs.50.00 (L) to save your tax. Since you don't want to invest in a new Flat or House, this may be a good option. Please remember the time limit of purchasing the Bonds is within 6 months, from the date of sale of Asset/Flat.
Most Welcome for further clarifications, if any. Thanks.
