Hello. I am a 40 yrs old female tech professional based in NCR. I am currently earning 45L pa plus ESOPs. On the family front, I am a single parent of a 12-year-old. I had been competitive in the early years of my career but had to slow down due to marital issues. I want to re-energise my career such that in the next 10-12 years, I can hold a top leadership position in a renowned company, and by the time I retire, I can be a member of a few boards. How should I plan my career moves henceforth?

Ans: Dear Abi, Now that you are having enough experience in your professional life - to aim for a leadership role is the best way to plan your career ahead. For that here are few suggestions - 1. Start reading more leadership books / watch leadership videos. 2. Do a course on leadership from a good academic institution to get yourself future ready for leadership roles with required skills and techniques. 3. Have a senior mentor (ideally retired from your field). They will handhold /guide you in the process. Also if you aim to be a board member check how to become one from the institute of independent directors. They even certify you as a capable board member.

Hi Career Experts , I am into my 45th year & am a qualified Mechanical Engineer + Full-time MBA in Marketing . Am based-out in a Tier-3 City & am supposed to stay back in my base location only due to family obligations . Worked for 16 Years but had to quit my job in 2021 due to incompatibility issues & not able to absorb / cope-up with the surmounting pressures that are rampant in the corporate world . Since then , have not been able to settle down with a Job although reaching-out & following openings on platforms like LinkedIn actively but all in vain . Had even tried exploring starting-out on my own but risks and insecurity have held me back . Have been somehow managing with my savings & investments done , but that may not go a long way . Success it seems is elusive on all fronts probably due to my age , work-gap , location constraint , maybe some other follies as well etc ? Looking forward to some specific advises pls. (do's & dont's) which may restart and reignite my career , which is in a complete state of mess . Thanks & Regards !

Ans: When you are looking for a job, check multiple sources. Linkedin is one of them. Check placement agencies, connect with your former colleagues, your friends, your batchmates from MBA college who themselves could be in decision making position. You may have to reskill yourself with some short courses. Simultaneously you could look at starting something on your own based on your interest. Could be investment advisory or some small business.

Tax Expert - Answered on Apr 28, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Feb 01, 2025

Money

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.

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;
