Sir,please tell me. we can invest money in tax free bond out of salary. So the salary amount which have invested in tax free bonds are taxable. For example our salary is 12 lac rupees and we invest 5 lac in tax free bond 1. Can we invest 5 lac in tax free bonds 2. Then we have to pay tax on 7 lac rupees or 12 lac rupees
sale of these bonds is a capital transaction and is chargeable to tax as capital gains - whether short term capital gain or long term shall depend on the holding period.
