You have not understood my query. If you have carry forward short term losses of Rs. 50000/- and for the current year you have made short term capital gains of Rs. 50000 and STT has been paid for all transactions, how do you calculate the tax. Can Rs. 50000 gain be offset against Rs. 50000 losses incurred in previous year. Does it make any difference in tax calculation, if last year short term gains were taxed at 10% and this year it is taxed at 15%.?...

You can carry forward the short term losses to the subsequent assessment year and set off against capital gains of the subsequent year and if still not exhausted carry forward for seven assessment years for adjustment purposes.

Six months minimum interest is meant for loans on LIC policies.

The loan availed is certain for six months and hence the loan should be repaid with six months interest, even if it is repaid on the next day. In bank OD on FDRS actual days are charge for interest. Corrections are invited.

Dear Radhika_nandlal, Every indian bank offers Loan/overdraft facility against its own FDs. Normally overdraft facility is available on a FD interest rate + 1-1.5%. Interest Rate on OD against FD is calculated monthly but on daily reducing basis. So from ur cash flow point, u may plan to payback OD as per ur convenience.

From ur LIC policies, not all r eligible for Loan, but if u do have some policies which r eligible for loans, u should opt it as the interest rate is very competitive just 9% per annum & the silver lining is that this loan is also like OD, u don`t have to pay principal amount regularly, just pay 4.5% interest every 6 months.

Plz. visit ur nearest LIC office to know on which policies u`ll be able to get loan & how much?

apart from these, as dear PCS mentioned, u may also get Loan against securities from Icici.

thanks

For a new investor it is wrong to go for thematic funds. It is always better to go for large cap funds. It should form atleast 60% of investment.You can do this now.

Sundaram Capex - SWITCH TO SUNDARAM SELECT FOCUS

Reliance Vision - SWITCH TO Reliance Growth Fund

ICICI Infrastructure - STAY INVESTED

Reliance Natural Resources - Redeem and invest in HDFC TOP 200 or DSPML TOP 100

Any further investment - invest major portion in Select Focus & HDFC TOP 200 / DSPML Top 100

Always look at value research rated funds. Invest via SIP ONLY.
Avoid NFOs & SECTOR FUNDS. ...

Dear Klb, here is ur tax calculation.
A. Interest Income = 130000
B. Net Rental Income = 42000
C. Net Short Term Capital Gain = 150000 (250000-100000)
D. Total Taxable income = A + B + C = 322000
E. Investment in 80C = 100000
F. Net Taxable Income = D - E = 222000

As ur net taxable income is below ur zero tax limit of 2.25L, there is no tax liability on u. But as ur Total taxable income before 80C investment is more than 2.25L (322000 Rs.) u `ll have to file ur return next year.

thanks
