I passed the CA CPT examination and registered for CA IPCC in 2012. I appeared for the IPCC examinations until 2015 but could not pass. Now I want to resume my CA studies and appear for the CA Intermediate examination under the new scheme. What should I do?

Hello CA Club India.

I purchased a piece of land through a developer for X Lacs a few years back. The piece of land (plot) was registered in my name by the Sellers who were the direct owners of the piece of land, not the developer. The amount in the registered deed is Y Lacs which is less than X.

The developer has provided receipts for the X Lacs and given details of plot number etc. but as they are the developer they didn't show the payment made to the direct owners.

Now, as I am selling the plot, my CA is telling me that the cost would be Y not X which was paid to the developer. The developer received X Lacs which included developing the land (roads, demarcation, water supply, electricity etc.) However, as there is no indication of direct payment to the land owner, the CA is not able to provide me a plan for the LTCG.

How do we compute the LTCG in this case? Based on X Lacs which was actually paid by me or Y Lacs for which the registration was done.

Regards.

House property was purchased (registered) in August 2023, as property is still under construction and the payment of the property is based on Construction Linked Plan of the Project. Installment for June 2026 was paidfrom proceeds from sale of Mutual Funds.

I have put less Sales amount in Gstr1 of April-26 by mistaken, paid gst also filed 3B with same amount, I came to know about this mistake after May Gstr1 was filed, now Gstr3b is pending to file. Kindly suggest what amounts I should put in In May Gstr3B to solve this issue. Regards in Advance

Mr A purchased a flat in January 2008 and sold it on 15th March 2024, generating a long-term capital gain of Rs. 19.60 lakhs.

He invested Rs. 40 lakhs in an under-construction property on 20th March 2024. The possession of this flat is expected in August 2026.

He has plans to sell this flat immediately upon receiving the possession for Rs. 45 lakhs. Will the earlier LTCG of Rs. 19.60 lakh become taxable?

Neither the sale agreement has been entered into nor has any allotment letter been received till date.

I wish to know his tax liability.
Kindly revert.
Regards,
Suraj

Dear Experts,

We have a client engaged in the tattoo business in Bengaluru. We applied for cancellation of GST registration on 10th March 2026. The cancellation application appears to have been assigned to the State GST authorities; however, the jurisdiction details are not available in the application status & GST certification.

Since no clarification or notice has been received from the department, we waited for the cancellation to be processed. After more than three months, we approached the Central GST officer based on the jurisdiction mentioned in the GST Registration Certificate. However, the officer informed us that the cancellation application was not assigned to their office and they were unable to identify the concerned State GST jurisdiction.

I seek guidance on the following issues:

1. How can we identify the State GST jurisdiction/officer to whom the cancellation application has been assigned?
2. At the time of filing the cancellation application, all pending returns were filed except GSTR-3B for Q4 of FY 2019-20, which could not be filed due to the statutory time-bar restriction of three years. Could this pending return be the reason for the delay or non-processing of the cancellation application?
3. If the pending return is impacting the cancellation process, can we apply for unblocking/unbarring of the return filing facility to enable filing of the pending return?

Your guidance on this matter would be highly valuable in assisting our client.

Thanks in advance.

Respected Sir/Madam,

I seek your independent legal opinion regarding the functioning of a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and the response received from the District Registrar & Inspector General of Societies.

Brief Facts:

A registered society has allegedly not renewed its registration and has not submitted statutory compliances from the year 2021 onwards.
It is further alleged that:
1. No audit of accounts has been conducted for several years;
2. No financial statements have been disclosed to members;
3. Donations and funds are being received and utilized without adequate transparency;
4. The society continues to function publicly and represent itself before Government authorities.

A formal complaint was submitted to the District Registrar & Inspector General of Societies by a member requesting inquiry into the affairs of the society, including its financial management and compliance status.

In response, the Registrar's office stated that since the society is "not renewed", the office has no authority to investigate or inquire into the affairs of the society.
The reply does not cite any specific provision of the Societies Registration Act, 1860, any State Rules, Government Notification, judicial precedent, or other legal authority supporting such conclusion.
