For FY2025-26
I sold my residential property for a consideration of 100,00,000 (1 Cr) on 01/07/2025.
The purchase cost of this property was Rs 20,00,000 in Year 2008-09.
Indexed cost of this property is approx. 60,00,000

Thus LTCG after indexation was approx 40,00,000 (100,00,000-60,00,000)

After the sale, I purchased another residential property on 01/09/2025 for a price of 41,00,000 (all inclusive) to take benefit under section 54

Thus my indexd LTCG after section 54 should be 0 (40,00,000 -41,00,000). and I am being charged zero LTCG tax (the lower of CG tax of the two options (12.5% without indexation and 20% with indexation))
My income from other sources was 25,00,000 during the year
However, while calculating my final tax liability, the portal adds the unindexed LT capital gain of Rs 40,00,000 to my other sources income of 25,00,000 and puts my taxable income as 65,00,000 which triggers the surcharge at 10%. is this surcharge correct? is this the intent of indexation relief given by govt on july/aug 2024?

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.

Suraj

Recently we return goods worth Rs. 11 Lacs. to our supplier. So, instead of giving us credit note they asked to prepare sale bill. Is it a good practice because if we generate sale bill it will added to our turnover. which gives incorrect turnover information. So, please suggest any best solution for this.

Sir,

A client has started a nursery business on 6 acres of leased agricultural land. He purchases live plants ranging from 2 feet to 8 feet height from other nurseries. These plants are then maintained in the nursery for more than 6 months. During this period, labourers carry out watering, manuring/fertilizer application, pruning, cutting and other growth-related activities. The plants undergo substantial biological growth before being sold.

In these facts, whether the income from sale of such grown plants can be treated as Agricultural Income under Section 2(1A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, or should it be assessed as Business Income?
