Hi. For the past 2 years, I have been having terrible allergies. They happen once or twice a month, and only a cetrizine can bring comfort. I have got blood tests done to confirm my allergy of dust mites. Is there anything I can do to get from some relief from allergies?

Ans: For respiratory allergies you should focus on breathing exercises to strengthen your lungs. Gradually start walking, then running to further strengthen your respiratory system.
Have maximum 2-3 litres of fluids including water and other liquid diet during the day.
You can also visit a Panchkarma centre and take therapies as prescribed.

Hello Roopashree, I have a very sensitive nose and I am highly allergic to dust. There is a lot of construction going on in our area so I am constantly sniffling and sneezing. Can you please share natural tips to reduce allergy? Thank you, Drishti

Any kind of allergies should be treated well and the root cause should be cured. I recommend you visit an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Meanwhile, add more of papaya, lime, oranges and pineapple to your diet; they are rich in vitamin C and will help with your allergies.

Have honey water (use mildly warm water), preferably in the morning.

To clear your sinuses, you can try the yoga practice of Jal Neti under guidance from a certified professional.

Also, breathing exercises such as Anulom Vilom work wonders for those with sinus issues.

Start with 5-10 minutes and go up to 45 minutes daily, in open spaces like a garden early in the morning.

If you spend a lot of time indoors in an AC environment, it is advisable to either use the AC with dehumidifiers or invest in an air purifier.

Using essential oils such as eucalyptus oil or mint oil can also be helpful.

Dear KomalI am prone to colds and sneezing.I have allergy to dust and this happens when the season changes to.Can diet and exercise help me?Can you please suggest?Shivani Mayekar

Allergy can be due to multiple reasons. You need to increase your immunity in order to reduce the frequent attacks of allergic reactions.

Have a healthy weight based on your BMI, follow a balanced diet with low fat and low simple carbs and include a fitness schedule.

Include immunity boosters like lemon, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, etc. Remain well hydrated.

Focus on increasing muscle mass and lower body fat percentage. Maintain normal levels of important blood parameters.

I have chest congestion, shorter breath problem. I have been facing this problem for 4-5 years continuously. When winter about to end i suffered by cold and cough and this cold and cough turn into chest congestion and breath shorting problem. My Doctor sa says it is allergic problem. So is there any aasan or Yog kriya by i can cure my problem. Please suggest. Thank you.

Ans: You can start including Sun Salutations as they help improve circulation and breath through the congestion. Kriyas like Neti are also useful for allergic rhinitis. You can also include Kumbhaka Pranayama and Bhramari in your routine as both are useful for sinus congestion. However, the best way to manage allergies is to reduce your exposure to allergens - this could be by wearing a mask, using air purifiers and deep cleaning of the house every spring and autumn.

Dear Sir, my Q is If there's no/ zero tax below 12 income then why 5% & 10% applied / proposed for 4-8 lacs & 8-12 lacs, slabs, respectively ❓ Sir, how many types of incomes exist for tax purpose , other than Salary income ❓ Can you please list all Or give me a weblink to know all types of taxed incomes & non taxed incomes sources ❓ Regards

Ans: Tax is calculated as per slab rate prescribed under both regimes and once tax calculation is done, there is a concept of rebate which is deducted from tax liability.

Accordingly, if taxpayers opt for a new tax regime, tax on 12 lacs of income will be 60000 and rebate will be 60000. Thus, tax liability will be Zero.

Please note that rebate is not available on special rate income like short term capital gain on equity shares which is taxable at 20%, long term capital gain on equity shares is taxable at 12.5%.

You can calculate tax liability, using advance income tax calculator available at following link:

Question by Hardik - Feb 06, 2025

Money

We are a Private Limited Company with an employee strength of 60, and we strictly follow all PF rules. As per the applicable salary criteria, we contribute to the Provident Fund wherever required. Recently, we discovered that an employee who joined our company two years ago has an existing UAN linked to their Aadhaar. However, at the time of joining, the employee declared in Form 11 that they did not have a PF account. Based on this declaration, we did not contribute to their PF account. Now, the employee states that they were unaware of their PF account, and the UAN linked to their Aadhaar is currently inactive. Furthermore, they do not wish to activate their PF account. Given this situation, should we present Form 11 as valid proof for non-contribution, or are there any corrective actions required to comply with PF regulations? Kindly guide us on the appropriate steps to take in this matter.

Ans: Hello;

If the organisation is such that EPFO laws are applicable and if employee 's salary is as per the threshold given by EPFO (15 K basic +DA) then you don't have an option to avoid EPF.

The EPFO commissioner may issue your organisation a show cause notice as to why the form-11 submitted by the employee was not scrutinized thoroughly when it was submitted.

You may furnish joint declaration in the prescribed format to correct the mistake in form 11 and deposit all employer employee contributions till date with penalty as decided by the EPF Commissioner.

Actually such willful suppression of facts by the employee, which bring the employer into legal issues, deserves termination.

Seek advice from a lawyer specializing in labour and EPF laws, if required.

Money

Hi Sir, I had worked in a Pharma company since 1990 till 2004 with all the PF and Pension fund contributions paid. However I subsequently changed the organisation and a new PF no was allocated alongwith UAN No which I left in the year 2013. I do have a Scheme Certificate from the previous company but no UAN No (as the UAN nos came subsequently) and the older PF account has an erroneous DOB for which Y am persuing the previous employer. Now I wish to club the two PF accounts together. How to go about. Please guide and enlighten. Thanks and Regards Kanwaljit Singh

Ans: Hello;

You first need to correct your DOB in previous pf account by submitting a joint declaration(in the prescribed format) with your previous employer to the assigned EPFO office.

After clearing this you need to activate your UAN online on EPFO portal.

Once your UAN is activated you can merge all your previous pf accounts under the same UAN online through the EPFO member portal.

Best wishes;
