Epfo me father name mismatch hai kaisa hoga dahi

Ans: Hello;

To correct a mismatch in your father's name in your EPF account, you may;

1. Update online
Go to the "Manage" section in EPF portal, and update your father's name. Make sure the name matches with that in your Aadhar card. This request will have to be validated by your employer.

2. Submit a joint declaration
Submit a joint declaration with your employer to the Regional PF Commissioner. You will need to include valid supporting documents.

Dear Naveenn Ji I am 61 yrs old-retired person. I had cardiac procedure with pacemaker 3 yrs back. I had one Medical insurance which was quite useful and was just sufficient at that time to meet expenses. Now I want to enhance the limit say from 10 lac to 20 lac which is not happening with the existing one. Can you suggest what best can be done and how for medical expenses
Ans: We will need to check with different health insurance companies and share your case history in detail. There are chances of getting a policy, but it depends on the underwriter’s assessment. Age, any other medical conditions, pre-existing diseases and the severity of the earlier cardiac issue all play a role.

Sometimes insurers give a counter-offer with a higher premium, a co-payment clause or a permanent exclusion for heart-related conditions while covering everything else.
We also need to check whether porting is possible or if a fresh policy is better.

One important point: please do not cancel your existing policy under any circumstance until a new cover is issued and active.

Alongside insurance, it is always wise to keep a reasonable emergency fund in liquid form such as fixed deposits or liquid mutual funds to handle any immediate medical requirement.

please feel free to ask any further questions you can connect us 044-31683550 if facing any problem

Sir I have 5 subject in Nios board class 12 in 2026 and the subject names is Physics, Maths, English, Physical Education and in place of Chemistry is Biotechnology or vocational subject Valid for JOSSA 2026 So it will be eligible for Jossa Counselling For BTech in IITs or NITs+System According to JOSSA COUNSELLING 2025 Annexure 2(a)Annexure 2(b) The marks scored in the following five subjects will be considered for calculating the aggregate marks and the cut-off marks for fulfilling the top 20 percentile criterion. Candidates must also pass each of the following subjects in Class XII (or equivalent) to qualify for admission to the NIT+ System: o For B.E./B.Tech. programmes i. Physics ii. Any one of Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Technical Vocation subject iii. Mathematics iv. A language (if the candidate has taken more than one language, then the language with the higher marks will be considered) v. Any subject other than the above four (the subject with the highest marks will be considered). Please Guide Me Sir
Ans: Your question is unclear because you have combined many queries into one. However, I will attempt to answer based on my understanding. Please do not mind; from the question, I can guess that you may be facing problems with the subjects, either in terms of understanding or from other aspects.

Your NIOS 2026 combination (Physics, Maths, English, Physical Education, and Biotechnology instead of Chemistry) complies with JoSAA Annexure 2(a)/(b) requirements, so you will be eligible for JoSAA counselling for BTech in IITs/NIT+ system, subject to passing all subjects and meeting the JEE Advanced and overall eligibility/percentile criteria. However, it is highly recommended to refer to the latest brochure published by NTA on the official website of JEE.

Good luck.
