Hi, I am 48 year old, Science Graduate in Chemistry. I am having almost 22 years of working experience with various industries starting from Executive level to Mid-manager level. Since last 8 years I am working with an Art Gallery industry as an Administration Manager in Mumbai. Presently I am looking for a right job opportunity in an Art Gallery industry & wants to upgrade my knowledge about Art. So which courses can improve my knowledge about art gallery industry?

Ans: There are various courses and fields of study that can improve your understanding of art, curation, and gallery management in order to advance your expertise and boost your job chances in the art gallery market. You can explore the development of art from ancient times to contemporary works by focusing on specific areas like modern art, contemporary art, or non-Western art (Indian, African, Asian). You can check Mumbai-based institutes like Jnanapravaha or Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya and platforms like Khan Academy and Coursera, which are in high demand. 

You can learn about curating exhibitions, managing collections, and creating engaging art displays and focus on the design aspect of creating immersive art experiences at Sotheby’s Institute of Art or Art Schools in Mumbai. To stay competitive in the art gallery industry, upgrading your skills in areas like art history, curatorial practices, gallery management, and digital marketing is essential. Choose courses that fit your interests and the direction you want your career to take. Online platforms, local institutions, and professional workshops can offer you the knowledge and skills you need to grow in this field.

Hello Sir - I have taken a HDFC Unit Linked pension plan in 2008 and the fund value is approx. 49 lakhs. The policy matures in 2030 and allows for commutation of 1/3rd of fund value (with mandatory annuity for balance 67%). My HDFC Life Relationship manager is suggesting that he will transfer the proceeds of this fund to a new HDFC Smart life pension plan (via surrender of old policy and immediate reinvestment as single premium in the new policy) for a term of 5 years. At the vesting date, I will be allowed to remove 60% of the fund value as tax free commuted pension and will need to take annuity only for remaining 40% of fund value. This is beneficial for me (since tax free commutation under new pension plan is 60% as per new IRDAI rules instead of current 33%). In such a case, will the surrender of old policy and immediate reinvestment into new smart pension plan be a taxable transaction in India? I have claimed 80CCC benefits for part of premium paid in the past. HDFC Life has informed that the surrender and immediate reinvestment would not be taxable as I am not actually receiving any amount (the amount is fully being reinvested in the new pension plan). Is this advice by HDFC correct? Thanks for the advice.
Ans: Returns on all ULIPs purchased between April 2012 to February, 2021 are completely tax free if the premium was less than 10% of sum assured. For ULIPs purchased before April 2012, the maturity amount was tax free if the premium was less than 20% of sum assured for that policy.
