Question by Mujahid - Oct 05, 2021Hindi

Health

Dear Roopashree Madam I am a 33-year-old male and have regular issues with my digestive system, primarily gastric issues.I always feeling bloated like a balloon.I'm 90 kg, 5.5 feet height. So much stress always and I also have hair loss issues.I also feel a burning sensation inside the stomach but I don't feel constipated.I am working at a desk full day and have very light physical activity.Can you please advise some remedy or solution for these gastric issues in the stomach and weight loss and healthy lifestyle?Thank you.Regards,Mujahid Ropale

To ensure good digestion, only eat until your stomach is half-full.

This will enable proper digestion of food and help avoid bloating and gastric issues.

Avoid eating spicy food, especially after sunset.

Also eat a bowl of curd (fresh curd only and at room temperature) in the morning to control acidity issues.

Since you have indicated low physical activity, it could be the root cause of all your digestive problems.

You must go for a walk every morning or after a 30 minute gap after your meals. It not only promotes circulation but also promotes intestinal health.

If you have a desk job, try sitting on the floor with a laptop stand.

Options like a kneeling chair or a standing desk help avoid long sitting hours.

Sir I am from Nepal, but currently I am staying in India. I want to continue my studies. If I complete 10th grade from NIOS, will I be able to go back to Nepal and take admission in 11th grade?”

Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Yes, it is possible. NIOS is similar to CBSE or ICSE, so there shouldn't be any issues when applying for 11th grade in Nepal. However, you will need to submit an equivalence certificate from the Higher Secondary Education Board (HSEB) or the National Examination Board (NEB) in Nepal. This certificate should confirm that the NIOS 10th grade is equivalent to the Nepali SEE (Secondary Education Examination). Additionally, you will need to provide your original marksheet and migration certificate.

Before seeking admission, it's advisable to contact the specific school or college in Nepal to confirm their acceptance of the NIOS certificate. This will help ensure a smooth admission process.

BEST REGARDS.

Hi sir if I am unable to produce ews certificate during josaa counselling and I will produce declaration also to change to general. Will I get any seat allocated to my rank as general after the declaration?

Ans: HI SWE,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
It's straightforward: If you are unable to produce the EWS certificate, you will lose your eligibility to secure a seat under the EWS quota due to this issue. However, your rank will still be considered for the general quota, and you will be able to secure a seat based on that. It’s important to prepare thoroughly before appearing for the exams. Don’t waste time—make sure to obtain the EWS certificate as soon as possible.

Relationship

My wife doesn't like my choice of gifts. If I buy a sari she doesn't like the colour. If I take her out on a lunch or dinner she will complain about the food. We have been married for 20 years and till date I don't know what makes her happy. If I ask she will say I don't love her. What is this? How will I know if she doesn't say what she wants. Im tired and confused what to buy for our anniversary next week

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that this can be frustrating but how about sit her down and have an open conversation? Let her know that you are not accusing her but you really want to understand what is the matter. Tell her how her constant unhappiness makes you feel. Communication can help a lot more than we imagine.
Hope this helps

Tax Expert - Answered on Apr 14, 2026

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.
