Hey @Shaggy
To calculate your tax liability, please refer to Quicko’s Income Tax Calculator. Here you can enter details about your income, deductions, exemptions and your tax liability will be calculated under both, old and the new regime.
Regarding the home loan, a deduction on interest on the home loan under section 80EEA can be claimed by the person who is paying it, in this case, your father. Read more about it here.

I have already went through above tool. It requires me to have good knowledge. Hence i do not feel above tool is usefull at all for people who do not want to involve themselves in these Calculations…

Hi,
My STCG is 4,19,500
My intraday profit is : 1,27,500
Contribution to PPF : 1,70,000
could someone please help me know my tax liability??
How do someone calculate tax for incomes from mutual funds only (and not direct stocks)?
There are Equity/Debt, and both have Growth/Dividend. If I have 1/2 funds of all these types, how will it be calculated?
Is it for profits only? Or, is it for loss as well? Will tax be -ve then?
Or is it for the sum of all, and not per individual schemes? What happens if sum is -ve?
What are the rates? Same as regular income slabs or different?
If I made some profit, but don’t redeem it, is it taxable?
Also, if I do redeem it and invest it immediately in a new one, will it still be taxable?
Is there any tax on dividend?
Sales of Equity shares shall be taxable @15% if short term and @10% if long term. However, sale of debt funds shall be taxed at slab rates.
Tax shall be on profits only. Tax shall be levied on net profits only and tax cannot be -ve.
Unrealised profits cannot be taxed. However if you redeem it shall be taxable even if you invest the amount immediately.
Yes dividend received shall be taxable at slab rates from FY 2020-21.
Thank you @Divya_Singhvi . Just 2 quick questions.
So there are the following options:
So when you tax is on net profit only (I’m assuming it means total profit - total loss), do I calculate this across all 4 of these categories? Or, net only with debt short, or only within debt long, etc.?
And the link said loss can be carried forward for at most 8 years. I hope it doesn’t happen, but in case I am in the situation where one year’s loss is not adjusted by profit/loss in next 8 year, what are the rules for 9th year?
The tax liability is based on the duration so the net shall be separate in the case of Short term debt and Equity and separate in the case of Long term Debt and Equity. However, you can setoff Long term capital gains against the short-term losses, not vice versa.
If the losses are not set off within the next 8 years they will lapse. For further clarification, you can refer to the below article.
Hope this helps 
It definitely helps a lot. Much appreciated 
What kind of taxes do Mutual funds pay? For example if a MF sells a equity holding do they pay STCG and LTCG?
My question is different. I am asking about any tax implication when a mutual fund sells a holding (do mutual funds pay STCG and LTCG when they sell any holding). What you’ve shared is about the tax implication of when someone sells a mutual fund unit.
@Kaushal_Soni @Sakshi_Shah1 @AkashJhaveri @Divya_Singhvi @Laxmi_Navlani @Saad_C can you help with this?
Hello @d.r,
As per section 10(23D) any income arising in the hands of a Mutual Fund (subject to conditions u/s 10(23D) of constitution of mutual fund being fulfilled) shall be exempt.
So, as per the above provisions, a mutual fund is not required to pay capital gain taxes when they transfer/sell any holding.
Hope it helps!
