Career

Dear Dr Pananjay Tiwari, I am currently doing my BTech Final year. I would like to pursue masters in Data science in Australia. Though the opportunities are lesser when compared to the US . I prefer it for its work life balance and culture. But my parents wanted to send me to the US as I may get higher wages .What's your view on this.

Ans: Hi...Pursuing a master’s in Data Science in Australia can be a great choice if you prioritize work-life balance, a supportive cultural environment, and high-quality education. While it’s true that the US may offer more job opportunities and potentially higher wages in the tech field, Australia also provides solid career prospects, particularly for those who value a balanced lifestyle and a diverse, welcoming community. Ultimately, the decision should reflect what you consider most important for your personal and professional growth: if you seek a better quality of life and are willing to explore opportunities in a slightly smaller market, Australia could be the right fit; however, if maximizing earnings and accessing a larger job market are your main goals, the US might be more suitable.

Career

Hello sir , I recently graduated from IIT MADRAS in BS Data Science . Now Should i go to pursue masters from foreign universities in current situation , when few people are saying there is no job in foreign . I want pursue masters in AI /Data science domain.IIT madras has Joint msc in data science & ai with university of birmingham. I also have germany in my mind as it has lower tution fees. other coutries will be usa , ireland ( as most of the tech comapnies has their eu headquaters in ireland ), australia . Or should I study in india while doing job and up skilling myself . Please help me to choose a right carreer path for my future , also money is a probem . Should I gain some work experience then apply for the universities . I have 8.97 cgpa , 3 research internships , 2 industry internships .

Ans: One way to look at it is see where you see yourself in next 5 to 10 years. If you want to go abroad, then it makes sense to look for doing post graduation abroad, Europe could be cheaper than US if money is a constraint. If you want to settle in India in the future then can take up a job and upskill yourself.

I have got msc in data science in vit chennai, should I go ahead with it? Is it worth as my reason for masters is because I do not want a gap in my career And should i opt for loan for that as I have already 3 running loans Please advice I have 3 years of IT experience, I left the job as due to toxic work culture. I want to change my domain from Business analyst as I have understood that I work better alone and do not like client interaction on an everyday basis Please suggest

Ans: It would make sense to directly take up a job in relevant field and do a course along with a job, As you are short of funds MSc may not add too great a value. A relevant work experience would be preferred in IT domain.

Dear Sir, my Q is If there's no/ zero tax below 12 income then why 5% & 10% applied / proposed for 4-8 lacs & 8-12 lacs, slabs, respectively ❓ Sir, how many types of incomes exist for tax purpose , other than Salary income ❓ Can you please list all Or give me a weblink to know all types of taxed incomes & non taxed incomes sources ❓ Regards

Ans: Tax is calculated as per slab rate prescribed under both regimes and once tax calculation is done, there is a concept of rebate which is deducted from tax liability.

Accordingly, if taxpayers opt for a new tax regime, tax on 12 lacs of income will be 60000 and rebate will be 60000. Thus, tax liability will be Zero.

Please note that rebate is not available on special rate income like short term capital gain on equity shares which is taxable at 20%, long term capital gain on equity shares is taxable at 12.5%.

You can calculate tax liability, using advance income tax calculator available at following link:

Question by Hardik - Feb 06, 2025

Money

We are a Private Limited Company with an employee strength of 60, and we strictly follow all PF rules. As per the applicable salary criteria, we contribute to the Provident Fund wherever required. Recently, we discovered that an employee who joined our company two years ago has an existing UAN linked to their Aadhaar. However, at the time of joining, the employee declared in Form 11 that they did not have a PF account. Based on this declaration, we did not contribute to their PF account. Now, the employee states that they were unaware of their PF account, and the UAN linked to their Aadhaar is currently inactive. Furthermore, they do not wish to activate their PF account. Given this situation, should we present Form 11 as valid proof for non-contribution, or are there any corrective actions required to comply with PF regulations? Kindly guide us on the appropriate steps to take in this matter.

Ans: Hello;

If the organisation is such that EPFO laws are applicable and if employee 's salary is as per the threshold given by EPFO (15 K basic +DA) then you don't have an option to avoid EPF.

The EPFO commissioner may issue your organisation a show cause notice as to why the form-11 submitted by the employee was not scrutinized thoroughly when it was submitted.

You may furnish joint declaration in the prescribed format to correct the mistake in form 11 and deposit all employer employee contributions till date with penalty as decided by the EPF Commissioner.

Actually such willful suppression of facts by the employee, which bring the employer into legal issues, deserves termination.

Seek advice from a lawyer specializing in labour and EPF laws, if required.

Best wishes;

Question by Kanwaljit - Mar 14, 2025

Money

Hi Sir, I had worked in a Pharma company since 1990 till 2004 with all the PF and Pension fund contributions paid. However I subsequently changed the organisation and a new PF no was allocated alongwith UAN No which I left in the year 2013. I do have a Scheme Certificate from the previous company but no UAN No (as the UAN nos came subsequently) and the older PF account has an erroneous DOB for which Y am persuing the previous employer. Now I wish to club the two PF accounts together. How to go about. Please guide and enlighten. Thanks and Regards Kanwaljit Singh

Ans: Hello;

You first need to correct your DOB in previous pf account by submitting a joint declaration(in the prescribed format) with your previous employer to the assigned EPFO office.

After clearing this you need to activate your UAN online on EPFO portal.

Once your UAN is activated you can merge all your previous pf accounts under the same UAN online through the EPFO member portal.

Best wishes;
