Question by Rahul on Sep 16, 2024Hindi

Health

Hello Mam, I am suffering from nerve compression (injection pierce feeling) on my shoulder area. It increases especially if i drive scooty/bike for long hours. Been doing neck exercise for many months but no respite. How can i overcome this pain plz suggest.

Ans: Hello Rahul,
Have you done your neck x-ray? If yes, what does it show?
You may need to do physiotherapy where they do myofascial release using techniques like cupping, dry needling etc for your neck/shoulder muscles. Many a times the muscles in that area become very tight and till the trigger points are released the relief is not there.

Ready to take your consultation on phone also

Ans: Hello Trupti, yes travel can worsen the pain. Once we do the consult we will know whether it is cervical related or trapezius muscle spasm related. Accordingly we will guide you regarding the exact treatment.

Sir, my 65 yr old father complains of having left shoulder aching since a month. He once referred a doctor who suggested operation and that some nerve gets suppressed. But it eventually got ok in a month after mild circular arm exercise. The same problem is re-surfacing after almost 8-9 yrs. Is it any nervous problem? What should we do? Kindly address, if any exercise may help. He has hypertension and takes Embeta-50 TM, regulates proper diet and sodium intake.

Ans: Posture need to be checked. How does he sit while reading, watching TV
Does he lie down and watch TV?
How big a pillow does he use to sleep?
Apart from these checks regular exercises for the neck and shoulders are good
Please enroll him to a good physio clinic for regular exercising

Hi Sir, I have this month sold one of my Flat which I had received in Redevelopment against my House in year August 2021 and hence, valuation on my earlier agreement was ZERO.. The Government Valuation of same Flat is about 22 lakh, whereas I have Sold same Flat with On Paper amount of 32 lakh (i.e. 10 lakh above Valuation). So First of all what will be the Taxable amount on my Flat. Will it be 32 lakh as there is no amount mentioned at the Time of Registration with developer, Or will it be 10 Lakh. Also request you to kindly advise options for Saving the Taxable amount.

Ans: Property owners in a redevelopment project are generally liable to pay Capital Gains Tax on hand over of property for redevelopment and liable to pay tax in the financial year the Occupancy Certificate (OC) or Completion Certificate is received. The capital gain is the difference between the Stamp Duty Value (SDV) of the new flat (plus any cash compensation) and the indexed cost of acquisition of the old flat. Accordingly, when new flat is sold, Stamp Duty Value (on which tax is already paid) becomes the cost of acquisition.

I understand that you have not paid tax at the time of hand over of property for redevelopment, accordingly, it is advisable to contact tax consultant.

Dear Sir, My name is Sanjay Shah. I retired on 31/3/2025 at the age of68 years. I have contributed to the Employees' Provident Fund until my retirement date. I have not withdrawn my pension amount until the retirement date. In June 2025, i applied for my Provident Fund (PF) amount, which I received subsequently. I applied, in November 2025, my pension amount, under Employees' Pension Scheme, (EPS) from November 2014 (pension eligible date) till pension retirement date, which i received on 10/2/2026 accumulated pension amount of Rs.3,29,448. There were no salary in the current year (2025-26), as i retired on 31/3/2025. Now my question is that this pension amount of Rs.3,29,448 can be considered as pension / salary and basic deduction of Rs.75,000 eligible ? for Income Tax calculation purposes. I have an income of approximately Rs.25 lakhs from FD interest, Bond interest, dividend from Company / MF etc. etc. This is for your informatioin. Hope to receive your reply asap. Thanks and regards. Sanjay Shah.

Ans: A pension received after retirement is eligible for a standard deduction of ?75,000 under the new tax regime, as it is treated as "Income from Salaries". If opting for the old tax regime, the deduction is ?50,000.
