My age is 47. My glucose levels have always been between 80-85 for last 7-8 years. This year my fasting glucose was 90 and post pradinal level was 92. Surprisingly the H1Bac level was 5.6 Is there any major cause of concern or simple diet control is enough

Ans: What you have indicated are blood sugar levels and HbA1c in a normal and healthy individual, who is not a diabetic person.

At least, for blood sugar levels, you dont have to worry.

As far as diet and physical activity is concerned, these benefits everyone. So, adopt and continue a healthy and active lifestyle.

There is a word of caution. Normal parameters on one aspect does not mean person may not have other health issues.
Having a hold of your health mean you need to take care of your health and be aware about all key parameters of health.

Money

Hello Mihir, I had transferred my flat (owned by me and my spouse) as gift to my daughter when she was 17yo. This was done by a lawyer with payment of relevant stamp duty/taxes to registration office. I have below queries: 1) Do I need to take up any other documentation once she turns 18? 2) can I sell the flat, will there be any implications? 3) Do I or my daughter need to pay LTCG after the sale and if yes how much %? The flat was purchased in 2008 at 33 Lakhs and the ongoing rate is around 1.2Cr. I plan to purchase another residential property in India as well as overseas after the sale materializes

Ans: For income tax purpose, gift deed and registration of property in the name of daughter would be sufficient.

When your daughter sell that flat she need to pay LTCG if gain amount (1.2cr minus 33 lacs) is not invested in the new property is not purchased within 2 years or not constructed new property within 3 years of sell of flat.

Property purchased outside India will not be considered for LTCG exemption purpose.

Career

Hello sir maine cuet ka form bhara hai jo maine marksheet ke hisab se bhara hai per mere adhaar me dikkat hai kyu ki adhaar me naam mera Ritesh Kumar karn hai or marksheet me Ritesh Kumar karna hai toh mujhe dar lag raha hai ki kehe mujhe exam centre per dikkat na de ye chiz. Kaya mai apni 10th ki marksheet dekha sakta hu kyu ki mere adhaar me dikkat hai only for name verification or mere photi me bhi dikkat hai bachpan ki photo hai per maine photo verification certificate bhar deya hai

Ans: Please show your 10th marksheet at the exam centre for name verification. Since you have filled out the photo verification certificate, it usually won’t be a problem; carry your Aadhaar, marksheet, and the certificate together. But try to match the names' details officially as soon as the exam is over to avoid any problems in the future. (You can take the legal help)

Good luck.

Question by V - Apr 12, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir My son has completed his B.Com Honours from SASTRA during the year 2025. He is interested in pursuing MA from Madras School of Economics in this year 2026. He is currently enrolled in the Executive course of Company Secretary from ICSI. I wanted to know whether pursuing the course in Madras School of Economics is worthwhile and also the likelihood of getting good placements after successful completion of the course. Please provide your advice and suggestions which would help me in taking a decision. Thanks and Regards V NARASIMHAN

Ans: Narasimhan Sir, according to today’s (13th April 2026) Times of India (Education Times) advertisement, Madras School of Economics offers multiple programmes such as a 5?year Integrated MA, MA programmes in five specialisations, MBA, MSc in Data Science, and even PhD. Now, regarding your son’s wish to pursue an MA and also keeping in mind that he is already pursuing the ICSI Executive Course, it is important to know whether he has decided which one of the five MA specialisations—Actuarial Economics, Applied Quantitative Finance, Environmental Economics, Financial Economics, or General Economics—he wants to choose and why. However, since he has already joined the ICSI Executive, it is advisable to go for the MA in Financial Economics, because its core courses and electives in financial markets, asset pricing, corporate finance, risk, and regulation directly complement the CS Executive papers on Corporate Accounting, Financial Management, Capital Markets, and Securities Laws. This combination is very helpful for careers in corporate finance, investment banking, and financial?compliance advisory, where both domain?specific economics knowledge and legal?compliance skills are highly valued. At the same time, your son must be sure and confident that he can comfortably manage the workload of both ICSI and the MA in Financial Economics. As far as placements are concerned, all five MA specialisations—General Economics, Financial Economics, Applied Quantitative Finance, Actuarial Economics, and Environmental Economics—have broadly similar placement outcomes, but Financial Economics and Applied Quantitative Finance usually lean more towards higher?paying jobs in finance and analytics, while Environmental Economics and General Economics often lead more towards policy, research, consulting, and data?heavy roles. It should also be noted that success in placements does not depend only on the specialisation, but also on the student’s skill upgradation, soft skills, a strong LinkedIn profile, and effective networking strategies. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
