REC/NHAI BOND

Dear Sir,

Bond is a Capital Asset u/s 2(14) and its redemption/maturity is considered as "TRANSFER" u/s 2(47)

Second proviso (Indexation) to Sec 48 is not available to Bonds except CAPITAL INDEXED BONDS.

Bonds are supposed to matured at par i:e Sale Price = Cost Price and hence there will not be any gain / loss.

However if sale price is not equal to cost price (including expenses on transfer) then Capital Gains shall be computed...

The above treatment shall be valid for all types of Bond except Deep Discount Bonds.

Drear Sirs,

My reswidential Plot was acquired by Govt. and compensation is received. Does it atterat capital gain Tax/

If I invest the same or Part of it in REC/NHAI bonds, I know the inerest is taxable, will I be laible to pay tax on pricipal amount after redemption on completion of three years?

Dear Sharat,

First of all, transaction u mentioned is liable for capital gain tax.

However, u can save tax by investing in REC/ NHAI  Bonds. No tax would be applicable on the principal redemption amount. tax would be levied only on interest on redemption of bonds.

Manoj
