Question by Balkrishna - Mar 06, 2024Hindi

Health

I m 67 years age and my hba1c is 10.2 and fasting sugar is 243 I m taking insulin 12 units of Novo Rapid flexi pen 3 times In a day morning, afternoon and night before food and Toujio 12 units at 5 pm.

Ans: It is advisable to consult your physician about your insulin dosage as your blood sugar levels are very out of range. Dietary modifications can include foods like complex carbohydrates like whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats), legumes, and vegetables. Include healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil and lean proteins like fish, poultry, tofu, and beans. Limit sugary foods, refined carbs, and saturated fats and stay physically active.

Ans: 01. Have you got intimation u/s 143(1) informing you, whether there is a Demand by the department or it has processed your ITR with Refund ?
The process of Refund will start only after that.
02. You are also requested to check, whether you have filed ITR with all complete details & these details are also supported by Form 26AS/AIS/TIS of the department.
03. If you have not received any intimation (Ref.point 01 above), you are requested to confirm from your site, whether your ITR has been processed or not. You can also request the department for re-issue Intimation u/s 143(1), in case assessment is complete.

Question by Verky - Oct 23, 2024Hindi

Money

Greetings, Received Income tax Intimation u/s 143(1) with respect to the return of income filed by for the Assessment year 2022-23 regarding demand notice of payment for sec 234b There was no Advance tax paid for the mentioned period FY 2021-22, And the ITR was filed on 31-12-2023. As such for calculation of 234B, the number of months from Apr 1st 2022 was calculated as 21 and the amount to be paid on the Assessed tax 103600 was calculated as (103600*1%)*21 which was filed as 21,756 But the demand notice mentions the amount as 32,116 (which seems to be calculated as 31 months) Was my calculation of 234B considering 21 months (01-04-2022 -> 31-12-2023) correct, in which case should I ask for a rectification for reprocessing ? Pls Advice. Thanks Verky

Ans: 01. Please note that in your case, provisions of Advance Tax are also applicable. Under these provisions, you have to pay tax quarterly during the financial year. It seems you have ignored those provisions. The demand raised seems to relate with advance tax payable.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

My son wants to do a program in undergrad in USA combining computer science and designing . What kind of majors he can choose, what are good universities for these programs .

Ans: I suggest you not to send him for under-graduate programme to USA. Let him be admitted to some reputed college/university of India for Computer/Electronics/Electrical Engg and let him go for f post-graduation ( i.e. MS from USA which is called graduation in USA). For Computer Engg one of the very good Universities is Georgia Tech, apart from that Texas A & M is there. Stanford and MIT are exceptionally good but for that his academic track record and GRE score have to be excellent.
