My HB keeps on increasing i am not a Chain Smoker, but often i smoke when i drink but it is in limit so please advice me what to do.

Ans: Dear Pradeep Kumar Ji,
There is not as much linkage of Hb or haemoglobin with smoking or drinking as you mention.
Haemoglobin levels are largely dependent upon diet and other factors. Please get a complete blood count, iron studies along with Vitamin levels done and consult a physician, who can guide what might be resulting in fluctuations in your Hb levels.

In any case, please stop smoking and reduce alcohol as much as possible.

Best wishes,
Dr Chandrakant Lahariya

I am 57 year old use to consume alcohol 180 ml every day, my abdomen is increasing what should i do ?
Ans: As a physiotherapist, I strongly advise you to stop consuming alcohol, as it significantly impacts your health and contributes to abdominal weight gain. Focus on consuming fewer calories overall to create a calorie deficit, which is necessary for weight loss. Incorporate more lean proteins into your diet, such as chicken, fish, tofu, and legumes. Protein helps build and repair muscle tissue and keeps you feeling full longer. Limit your intake of refined carbohydrates like white bread, pasta, and sugary snacks. Opt for complex carbs like whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.

Engage in short bursts of high-intensity exercises followed by brief periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. Examples include sprinting, cycling, or jumping jacks. Aim for 20-30 minutes per session, 3-4 times a week. Incorporate longer sessions of low-intensity activities such as walking, swimming, or light jogging. Aim for at least 30-60 minutes per session, 5 times a week. Regular exercise is crucial for effective weight management. Make sure to stick to your workout routine. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support metabolic processes. Ensure you get adequate sleep, as it is essential for recovery and overall health.

Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Consider scheduling regular sessions with a physiotherapist to tailor a specific exercise program to your needs and monitor your progress. Additionally, consulting a nutritionist can help you develop a balanced diet plan that aligns with your weight loss goals.

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
