Question by BHARAT on Feb 09, 2025Hindi

Money

My wife is retired Her income from STCG from debt funds in this FY is 61000 Her income from LTCG from debt funds is 499000 If she invests Rs 61000 in ELSS will IT DEPT allow rebate of 61000 under section 80c and if so, her taxable income being 499000, will she get rebate under section 87A under the old tax regime

Ans: 01. Kindly note that Tax Rebate u/s 87A is not available if your taxable income exceeds Rs.5,00,000.00, in old tax regime also. I feel in this case taxable income would be more under different heads like Pension & Interest Income etc.
02. Deduction u/s 80-C would be available, if you invest in ELSS. This will effect your other income Like Salary/Pension, STCG & Income from Interest etc.
Most welcome for any further clarification. Thanks.

My mother is a senior citizen. Her income through pension , FD interest, etc is Rs. 3,50,000/- and LTCG through sale of equity is 1,50,000/- Thus making the total income Rs. 500,000/- . Will she qualify for rebate under section 87A. How will the tax be calculated? Will investment under section 80C save any tax? My query is for the current financial year. Please guide.

Ans: 87A rebate is available for tax amount upto Rs.12500. As in your mother's case, tax is likely to remain below 12,500; tax liability is likely to be Zero for FY 2022-23.

Question by Mugalur - Apr 05, 2023Hindi

Money

Namasthe sir. I am Mr Mugalur. Can I request you kindly to clarify the following points ; I am a Pensioner aged 81 years. If I opt for IT new regime, in addition to standard deduction of Rs 50, 000, can I avail other rebates like : (1) disability rebate of Rs 75,000 u\s 80-U, (2) interest on F D up to Rs 50,000 (2) health insurance premium of Rs 25,000. Government has sanctioned me 20% of my basic pension as an allowance for crossing 80 years of age. Though this amount is added to my total pension, this amount is not merged with the earlier basic pension. Instead this amount is shown seperately under the heading “others” Now I want to know whether this allowance can be counted as rebate for getting I T exemption.

Ans: Very intresting question Mugalur. I believe a tax consultant will be about to analyse this better. Also pl make sure you are on the right side of law when asking for any IT exemptions.

Question by Ruhi - Mar 04, 2025Hindi

Career

I completed my 12 in 2020 with pcb after this I give entrance and got admission in govt college and completed my d pharmacy at the age of 19 . Since childhood I always want to wearing white coat but after seeing my family condition I decide to give govt job exam in pharmacy field then I give esic pharmacist aiims raipur but not got selected in any a lot of hard work and sleep less night and next month rrb pharmacist exam held I feel very low I m 21 year already I belong middle class family and my father is sick I thought i was never selected what should I do

Ans: Hello dear,
You are not the only one facing critical problems in life. Yet, you completed your pharmacy degree at just 19. I believe you took the job examination only once and felt frustrated. Many candidates have applied multiple times before being selected. Don't lose hope; keep trying until you achieve success. Wasting sleepless nights won’t solve anything. You have limited time to prepare for the RRB Pharmacist examination next month. Wake up and work hard to pass it and fulfill your dreams! At just 21, you have plenty of time to reach your goals. Take care of your father while also preparing for your exams. Keep faith in God. Best of luck for your bright future ahead.

Follow me if you’re satisfied with the reply; otherwise, feel free to ask again.
