Dear Sir,

Request your advice regarding the exemption criteria in case of interest and principle amount repayment for home loan.

Thanks

I have purchased a residential flat in 1989 & my brother has stayed in the same on goodwill.

Now I am thinking of selling the premises & from the sales proceeds plann to buy two separate premises - one for me and one for my brother .

How best to minimise on Capital gains tax.
Can I show the flat bought for my rother as gift to him?

Kindly let me have your valued suggestions.

I want to know,i want to prepare a balance sheet of an individual,so that i can know the capital amount available for utilization.

Is it mandatory to file balance sheet with IT return.
Or just prepare a Balance sheet for our record.

I had 2 flats adjacent which I had joined and purchased in 2006 then I sold them in 2008 resulting into STCG of 12 lacs. Then I bought another flat in 2011. I had not filed any return till date as my income used to be below lowest slab. please show me a way out.

Friends my Total income (Income from house property) is less then exemption limit but my client (Bank) is deducting TDS, for which i have to claim refund every year.
Is there any way by which i can stop this deduction???

I have filed an ITR of assessee where same income got considered twice for tax computation & the return got uploaded.Now I have received NOtice u/s 139(9) for Defective Retun.What should be done in this case.please help on this...

Dear Sir, As per sec 194IA if the total consideration for any immovable property exceeds 50lakhs then TDS @ 1% needs to be deducted. My query is if say total consideration is 65 lakhs including service tax and service tax is of 5 lakhs then TDS u/s 194IA needs to be deducted on 65 or 60 lakhs???

One of my friend is stuck between 2 options and wants to weigh both the options from tax point of view:
1) His NRI father from his Nre savings a/c. gifting his mother a sum of Rs.5lacs through cheque for the renovation of house in India in her name
2) His NRI father from his Nre savings a/c. gifting his son a sum of Rs.5lacs through cheque and then he in turn gifting his mother for the renovation of house in India in her name
