Any profit or gain that arises from the sale of a ‘capital asset’ such as House, Gold, Mutual Funds, Stocks is a capital gain. This gain or profit is charged to tax in the year in which the capital asset is sold.

The Income Tax Act has specifically exempted assets received as gifts by way of an inheritance or will.

    TDS deducted by employer and form 16 issued but received it notice not finding in 26as what to do?

    Reply
    • bemoneyaware on October 29, 2019 at 3:09 PM

      Check with your employer, why the TDS is not showing?
      Income tax department considers only TDS which is reflecting in Form 26AS
