My total cholestrol is only 99 with HDL at 33 and LDL at 55 and the VLDL is 11. Trygliciride is also 66. Is low HDL a cause for concern even though total is very low. My levels has always been like this with maximum total being at 125.

Ans: There are a lot of genetic variations in cholesterol levels from family to family. By and large these numbers are ok. HDL can be improved a little with regular exercise.

In 1995 Dec 2 i have received 100 Debenture in jindal vijayanagar steel. What is status right now?

Ans: The NCDs issued in 1995 were scheduled for redemption in installments over the 6th to 9th years, concluding by 2004. If you haven’t received the redemption amounts, it’s possible that the payments were returned due to address changes or other issues .
Reach out to JSW Steel’s Investor Relations or their Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) to inquire about the status of your debentures. Provide details like your folio number, certificate numbers, and any correspondence received.
If the debenture amounts remain unclaimed, they might have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). You can search for unclaimed amounts on the IEPF website.

Hi I have already used the correction window too for neet and in that the issuing authority name spelling is wrong will it affect the counselling process I don't have any chance for correction now

Ans: Hi
If the issuing authority's name is spelled incorrectly on your NEET application and you've already used the correction window, don't worry too much—small spelling errors like this usually do not disqualify you from the counselling or admission process, as long as the document is otherwise valid and verifiable.
