Long Term Capital Gains: Sale of Listed NCD

Tax queries 1413 views 2 replies
Ass Year - 2010-11
 
1. I have some Listed NCD that were sold during the year. They were held for more than one year therefore long term. There is no indexation allowed- so the  LT gain will be  Taxed at 10%. Assume the gain is Rs 90,000.
 
2. I also redeemed some units of of my full debt MF scheme. The cost was 30,000. the indexed cost is 50,000. The redeeemed value is 45 ,000. I propose to use the indexation route and  there will be a net loss of 5,000.
 
3.  I also have some carrfy forward  LT loss of Rs 8000.
 
My questiosn are:
 
1) Is it possible to set off  the Long Term capital loss (after indexation) on the Redemption of Mutual funds against the capital gains on the listed NCDs? ( In this example Rs,90000 minus 5000). And remainder is rs 85,000/-
 
2) Then can i set off the b/f LT Cap loss agiabst this remainder (Rs85000 less 8000) = 77,000 and pay tax at 10%.
 
 
3) Had there been no LT Gain on Listed NCDs. Will i be able to carry forward the LT Capital loss of Rs 5000 (after indexation)  on the debt MF  to the next year?
 
Look forward to yopur reply

Dear Sir,

I have one answer to all your questions & that is  "YES".................:)

1) Yes, set off is permissible, since STT applies to Equity MFs only.

2) Yes, after current year's loss, brought forward's losses are to be adjusted.

3) Absolutely, provided return is filed within due date

If your status is that of a resident then you can also utilize the un-exhausted exemption limit..

i agree with amir.
