Capital Gains Tax on Sale of Property

Selling a house is long and tedious and the fact that you have to pay taxes on the money you make is adding insult to injury. But try as we might we have to go through the rigmarole of paying taxes on profits earned after selling of property.

The profits after selling of property are called Capital Gains; Capital Gains are of two types

1. Short Term Capital Gains- If you sell your property within three years of buying it, the profits are short terms capital gains.
2. Long Term Capital Gains- Any property sold after three years of acquiring it earns you long term capital gains.

You will be taxed on the profit (capital gains) you make – which is the amount that you earn after subtracting cost of buying (and repairing / improving) the property from the sale value.

The Income Tax Act allows you a few exemptions under the section 54 under the following conditions.

•  The profits (capital gains) are used to purchase/construct a new house.
•   The new house is bought one year prior or two years post the sale of the old house.
• The new house is constructed within three years of the sale of the old house.
• Only one house is purchased or constructed.
• The new house is not sold within three years of possession.
• If the new house costs less than the sale proceeds, then the exemption applies in proportion. The remaining money is to be reinvested under 54EC within 6 months.

Capital Gains Account Scheme

If construction of a house immediately following the sale of the old one is not possible, then you can invest the capital gains in a public sector bank under the CGAS, the scheme has a three year lock-in period within which you are bound to start construction on your property, otherwise you would be taxed at the long term capital gains tax rate. There are two types of accounts under the scheme.

Bonds

Another option is to invest in bonds from the Rural Electrification Corporation or the National Highways Authority of India. These bonds also have a lock-in period of three years during which any transfer or loan against them will be taxed as capital gains tax, additionally the bonds have a maximum cap of Rs 50 lac as investment.

Infrastructural development and commercial growth spell good returns on property. Here we list down some cities that offer a wide range of investable options at relatively lower price points while giving great opportunity for capital appreciation and health returns in future.

Tricks to Keep Your Home Cool This Summer

So, in heat such as this your air conditioner is like your door to heaven, however if you want save some money and keep cool, here are a few things you can do.

Go Green - Create a terrace garden, our roofs radiate heat making the whole house into an oven.  A roof garden ensures that the soil absorbs heat and the roof remains cool, consequently making the whole house cool.

Close the blinds - Seems too simple, however 30% of unwanted heat in our homes comes from open windows. Using shades and blinds can reduce indoor temperature by almost as much as 20 degrees.

DIY AC - Now this a hack that you can use occasionally, especially during power cuts where your inverter is just able to power your fan. Fill a shallow bowl with ice, position it at an angle in front of a large fan, the breeze picks up the cold water melting off the ice.

Unplug at Night - Unplug electronic devices that are not required at night as they all give off heat even while being switched off.

Go for light fabrics - instead of heavy silks, stuffy satins opt for cotton, chiffons and georgettes for bed sheets, curtains, pillow covers etc. These fabrics are breathable and light and allow you to feel more comfortable and airy. Additionally, changing upholstery and curtains give an instant revamp to your room.

Turn on exhaust fans - whether they are in your bathrooms or kitchens, exhaust fans throw out stale air. Keep them on to throw out warm, muggy air out of your home.

Why Location Matters in Real Estate

Since more than a century, real estate agents have maintained that the three most important things for a property are Location, Location, and Location. And the fact is, the rule holds water even today and would probably do so for a long time to come.

First things first your home is most probably a long time investment, and if the location of your home is good then that’s a great long-term investment.

You can buy a bad house at a great location and fix it up for a great return on your investment; however you can’t buy a great house at a bad location and get a good deal. 

Then what makes a great location? Well, below are few of the pointers we think will ensure that you buy a home at a good location.

Safe Neighborhood - Safety is a big concern for everyone, especially in major metros like Delhi-NCR. People are willing to pay a little extra just to be sure that area is safe and that do not have to be worried about crime.

Good Schools - While you may not have school going kids or may not be planning to, it’s always better to buy a home around a good school district, the bottom line is you have to think like a future seller and generally buyers today are young families looking for good school areas around their home.

Access to public transport or highways – In cities like Delhi or Mumbai, the farther you live from public transport like buses, metros, the lesser the value of your home. Even if a car drive is inevitable, easy access to arterial roads and highways makes for a good location.

Access to popular places, restaurants, shops – Access to commercial hubs and shopping destinations adds to the appeal of the home.

Supply of water and electricity - This is something that is specifically true for our cities, access to clean water and short power cuts add a lot of value to homes. In our country most metros suffer from shortage of water and regular power cuts, so any area where these things are not a hug problem automatically climb up in the good location ladder.

While these are general guidelines, a good location also depends on the specific community or your own interests and requirement. So keep in mind all these things while buying a home, as the most important thing is the home should be a right fit for you.

Alphathum- The Best Destination for Your Business

One of the biggest factors while buying commercial property is the location, while residential property owners also look for good location they can still deal with a far flung area because it just means a little bit of extra travel in their case, however for a commercial property owner location is of prime concern because the future of his business depends on it.
