An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) refers to a home loan with a variable interest rate. With such loans, an initial interest rate is fixed for a stipulated period of time, after which the interest rate applicable on the outstanding balance varies. The rate is reset periodically, at yearly or even monthly intervals and is based on a benchmark or index, plus an additional spread called an ARM margin. ARMs are also called variable-rate mortgages or floating mortgages. ARMs generally have caps that limit how much the interest rate and/or payments can rise per year or over the lifetime of the loan.

Capital assets are significant pieces of property such as homes, cars, investment properties, stocks, bonds, and even collectibles or art. Any profit arising from the sale of a 'capital asset' is referred to as a capital gain. This gain or profit is considered as 'income' and therefore applicable to be taxed. Capital gains tax can be short-term or long term and must be paid within the same year as the transfer of asset. In India, assets received as gifts or by way of a will or inheritance is exempt from taxation. However, if the individual inheriting the asset choses to sell it, capital gain tax will be applicable.
