Ans: Hello;

You may have to wait till completion of 5 years since their may be a lock-in.

After that they may provide residual fund value, after deducting surrender charges as applicable, as per terms of the policy agreement.

Please read the policy document carefully before signing up.

Ans: Hello;

Your assessment seems correct, i.e. mixing of EPF and EPS contribution.

You may furnish it to EPFO through your current employer with an application for transfer request with revised and updated form 3 A enclosed.

This should resolve your issue.

Ans: Hello;

Since you had different member IDs while you were working for two different legal entities they are shown differently under same UAN.

If you want to transfer funds from old member ID to new member ID then you need to have a clear date of exit(DOE) mentioned.

Under the online claim option you can find One Member Transfer option. Just fill that form. submit the transfer request. Then select the present employer to approve your transfer details.

First it will be approved by the current Employer and after that it will be sent to Field Officer.

It will take 5 to 21 days for transferring your account from old member Id to new.

Ans: Hello;

You may start a monthly sip of 80 K and top it up every year by 20% to reach a corpus of 4 Cr after 10 years considering modest return of 12%.

The land parcels(45+9= 54 L) and company stock(20 L) if sold and the proceeds reinvested in mutual funds for 10 years may yield you a corpus of around 2.3 Cr after 10 years.

So you may accumulate a cumulative corpus of 4+2.3=6.3 Cr after 10 years, as planned.

If you invest 20 K in NPS per month you may reach a corpus of 1 Cr+ in 19 years from now.

You may need a corpus of 8 Cr to generate a retirement income of 2.8 L per month (post-tax) to cover your inflation indexed regular expenses sans the EMI.

Ans: Yes, it is absolutely normal not to be married at 39. Marriage timelines vary greatly depending on personal choices, cultural norms, and life circumstances. Societal expectations around marriage have evolved, and many people now prioritize other aspects of life, such as career development, personal growth, or meaningful relationships, over adhering to traditional timelines.

Being single at 39 could also mean that you're waiting for the right partner and connection, which is a thoughtful and mature approach. It's better to be in a fulfilling and authentic relationship than to rush into marriage due to societal pressure.

If you’re content with where you are in life, that’s what matters most. If you’re feeling uncertain or pressured, exploring what marriage or partnership means to you and aligning it with your values can be helpful.

Could be approx between 35-38 L.

Ans: Hello;

Try and understand from the home loan lender as to how 59.45 L principal is overdue despite paying a sum of 43.85 L, despite factoring 80% of this as interest payment, the overdue principal should be below 50 L.

Double check if this is as per the terms of moratorium.

If you are not satisfied with replies from the lender escalate the matter to the highest authority at lender or RBI.

Lender can't behave irrationally just because you availed moratorium during COVID.

In my view you should have just sold the gold rather then taking loan against it.

That way you could have lessened EMI burden on your finances and ensured investments for retirement and other goals.

Unfortunately we have a tradition of attaching emotional value to precious metals and real estate.

The best "jewellery" you can offer to your kids is good education, which you have already done.

In matters of health insurance never discontinue a policy due to dissatisfaction with the insurer, port it to another insurer, 1.5/2 months before the renewal date so that your benefits remain intact. Now you may be need to find another health care insurance.

You may begin a monthly sip of 25-30 K in diversified large cap oriented mutual fund for 5 years.

Also give a thought to NPS, you can contribute till 70 age, for retirement pension.
