RTL is in HDL coding level or gate level...?
what is RTL synthesis..?
 

RTL is not gate level but block level result and block can be gates as part of RTL
 

so the HDL code what we write is in which level..?
n what is RTL synthesis then...
 

RTL is Register Transfer Level.

RTL is a way of describing the operation of a synchronous digital circuits. n RTL design, a circuit's behavior is defined in terms of the flow of signals (or transfer of data) between registers and operators.

Register transfer level abstraction is used in VHDL and Verilog to create high-level representations of a circuit, from which lower-level representations and ultimately actual wiring can be derived. This is RTL synthesis.

Is RTL description really limited to synchronous digital circuits only?

How about combinational logic implementation on MUX/LUT, would you on not consider it RTL?
 

Yes, RTL is limited to synchronous circuits.
What do u mean by conditional? Do you mean combinational?

Yea, I meant combinational logic that was typos!!

Thanks for clarification.
 

Combinational logic can be described in a sequential manner or a concurrent manner. Mostly in concurrent manner. These are behavioral models rather than RTL cause they are not synchronous circuits.
