I have inherited shares thru Will from my aunt in the year 2008 in the demat form. Since then I have kept as it is & never sold any of the shares as I'm not well versed with the market. Now as there was some urgent expense in the family I had to sell few shares. So Sir, my question is as I have inherited shares by Will, so should I have to pay Capital Gain tax on the sales of shares. If yes then how it is calculated. Please advise.

Ans: 01. There is no issue of inheritance involved in this case, as far as income tax is concerned.
02. If you sell shares, it would be subject to LTCG Tax under Income Tax.
03. Please note that only Gain would be taxed & not gross receipts from sale of shares.
04. There would be a tax exemption of up to Rs.1,25,000.00 per year on LTCG. Beyond this amount, it shall be taxed @12.50%.
05. If LTCG amount is more, then you may plan for certain other exemptions available under the income tax (u/s54F).
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Question by Marvelmom - Jun 21, 2025Hindi

Career

My son got seat in IIT dharwad engineering physics. In next rounds, Mech is expected in few IITs. Also, We may get mechanical in BITS, He also got 160 rank in EAMCET where CSE in JNTU can come. Please suggest if we have taken wrong decision by accepting core branch in IIT. My son doesnt have specific interest in CSE. Woth huge craze towards CSE, we are thinking if we are not setting him in right path. We can cancel IIT seat and get into EAMCET. Need some enlightenment from Gurus.

Ans: Hello Marvelmom,
Give respect to your son's interests. No doubt, brand-name IIT works from all angles. With the EAMCET, if he gets CSE at a preferred college, then go with it, leaving the IIT Mechanical option behind. Choose the branch that you like rather than selecting the wrong branch merely by focusing on the brand name. Opt for the CSE option.
Best of luck.
