Dipak: Is one required to pay tax on total interest of bonds or total interest less accrued interest paid at the time of purchase of bonds? Contract note shows this amount. If i pay tax after setting off accrued interest what happens to TDS amount deducted? Also there will be mismatch between return and 26AS. If I pay tax including accrued interest, it is out right loss to me.
You have to divide TDS deducted in FY 2023-24 in two parts.
For the TDS in proportion of income to be offered in FY 2023-24, you can claim TDS in FY 2023-24. For the interest income already offered to tax in FY 2022-23, you have to file Form 71 and get the credit of said TDS in FY 2022-23.

Vinod: Hi, my in-laws sold their home for 1 cr in Bangalore in 2024. They had bought land in 2002 for 1.5 lakh and built home in 2008 for 25 lakh. How much tax they need to pay for the capital gain or which bonds are good for investing to avoid the tax. They are 63 yrs old.
Capital gain amount is derived by deducting indexed cost from sale consideration.
Assuming land is acquired in FY 2002-03 for Rs 1.5 lakh, indexed cost will be Rs 497143 and assuming property is constructed in FY 2008-09 for 25 lakh, indexed cost will be Rs 63,50,365. Total will be 68,47,508. Accordingly the capital gain will be Rs 31,52,492 taxable @20%.
You can calculate the indexed cost from the income tax calculator (external link).
For bonds please check with bank.
