Ans: There are a few reasons why the NAV in your account statement (Rs. 42.6) differs from the actual NAV (Rs. 36.703). Here are the possible explanations:

Possible Reasons for the Difference
1. Growth vs. Dividend Option
Your account statement might show a growth plan NAV.

The real NAV you checked could be of the dividend option.

Growth plans have higher NAVs as profits are reinvested.

2. Regular vs. Direct Plan
Regular plans have higher NAVs due to distributor commissions.

Direct plans have lower NAVs as they have no commission costs.

Check whether you are comparing the same plan type.

3. NAV on Different Dates
NAV changes daily based on market performance.

Your account statement might reflect an older NAV.

Check if you are comparing NAVs of the same date.

4. Fund Merger or Restructuring
Some funds merge with others over time.

This leads to recalculated NAVs.

Check if your fund has undergone any restructuring.

What Should You Do?
Compare the NAV of the exact same plan type and option.

Check the latest NAV on the AMC website.

Contact the mutual fund house or registrar (CAMS/Karvy).

Ensure you are looking at the latest statement.

If the issue persists, contact customer support to verify.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Ans: To claim a lost share certificate in India, follow these steps:

Inform the Company: Notify the company or its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) about the loss of the share certificate. Provide details like your name, folio number, and share certificate number.

File an FIR: Lodge a First Information Report (FIR) with the police, detailing the loss of the share certificate. This is a crucial step to document the incident officially.

Submit an Indemnity Bond: Prepare and submit an indemnity bond to the company, confirming your ownership of the shares and indemnifying the company against any claims.

Provide Supporting Documents: Along with the indemnity bond, submit other required documents such as a copy of the FIR, proof of identity, and address.

Freeze Share Transfers: The company will freeze the transfer of the lost shares for a specific period (usually 30 days) to prevent fraudulent activities.

Duplicate Certificate Issuance: After verifying your claim, the company will issue a duplicate share certificate.

Ans: mutual fund NAV is directly proportional to markets, so if midcap stocks fall the NAV will also fall.

Ans: Hi Saurav
as per JOSAA rules, you need to qualify the Senior Secondary School Examination conducted by the National Institute of Open Schooling with a minimum of five subjects.

Ans: Hello Sir,
It's great that your son is hardworking and open to different ideas! Given his strong aptitude for math and logical reasoning.
Here are some options.

Government-Funded Colleges (IITs, NITs, IIITs, GFTIs): If he qualifies for these, he will get support under the PWD category, including extra time in exams, scribes (if needed), and relaxation in certain academic criteria.
Private Universities (BITS, IIIT-H, Ashoka, Shiv Nadar, Plaksha, etc.): Some private institutions offer excellent CS programs with flexible learning environments.
Specialized Accommodations: Many colleges provide support like extra tutoring, note-taking assistance, language support, and mental health counseling.

Regarding Coping with College Pressure:

Choosing the Right College: Look for institutions that offer strong disability support and a friendly learning environment.

Developing Learning Strategies: Text-to-speech tools, structured note-taking apps, and assistive learning technologies can help.

Seeking Mentors & Support Groups: Connecting with peers or seniors who faced similar challenges.

Internships & Hands-on Learning: Real-world projects can build confidence and skills outside academic pressure.

Alternative CS Education Paths
Online Degrees (IIT Madras BSc in Data Science, Georgia Tech MS Online, etc.): A flexible option if he prefers self-paced learning.
Coding Bootcamps (Scaler, Masai, Pesto, Newton School, etc.): Fast-track career-focused programs.
Open-Source Learning (CS50, MIT OCW, Udemy, Coursera, etc.): Helps in skill-building without the pressure of formal college exams.

Ans: Hi
As per last year's cutoff, you are eligible for JOSAA counselling, but getting a seat in this percentile is impossible. You need to improve a lot.

Ans: Hello Sir,
If his EWS RANK comes somewhere under 6K, then there will be a chance of getting these branches.
