How much money can I transfer in my adult child account without incurring any tax liability on the earnings by my child

Ans: Hi

You mean you want to gift money to your child who has turned major (18 years). The gift transferred would not be taxable to the child and the clubbing provisions would not apply i.e. the income earned on this gifted money would not be taxable in your income.

Please remember to remit the money through regular banking channel and execute a gift deed for the same.

If I send amount to my daughter (39 yrs) a US citizen, for her upkeep in USA, any tax is payable ? If not what is the upper ceiling of amount I can send ?

Ans: As per RBI regulations, an Indian person can only take USD 2,50,000 per financial year out of India. Further, a refundable tax to the extent of 20% (considering its not for your daughter's health and education) needs to be paid at the time of remittance which can be claimed in your income tax return as a refund.

Kiit Kalinga university me btech biotechnology me registration ho gya hai 75000 registration fees bhi jma ho chuki hai lekin cbse ka result ab aaya hai marks 60% aur pcb me 50+ hai ayesa na ho ki registration reject ho jaye kya admission ho jayega

Ans: Hi Nidhi,
greetings.
According to the prospectus, you are not eligible for admission to KIIT for the B.Tech in Biotechnology program.
The basic requirement for B.Tech and M.Tech in Biotechnology is that you must pass 10+2 or an equivalent exam with at least 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology/Biotechnology combined.

Since you have only achieved 50%, I recommend considering other courses such as Nursing or Pharmacy instead of Biotechnology.

Hello sir.Could you pls suggest best colleges for pharmacy sciences in Punjab? I will be very thankful to you

Ans: Hi,

Punjab is not a district; it is a state. To gain admission into an undergraduate (UG) program, you must either write an entrance exam or go through the state selection board. Given this context, it is challenging to provide specific advice.

If you are interested in pursuing pharmacy, visit the website of the respective college to find information about the Standards of Instruction for Pharmacy (SIF) through the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). The institution may have shared important details about their programs. You can choose colleges based on their infrastructure.

Don’t focus solely on placements. If you have the right skills, you will naturally secure a placement. However, do not stop at completing your UG; you should also aim to pursue a postgraduate (PG) program, as it will provide you with more exposure.

If financial constraints prevent you from pursuing PG studies, consider entering pharma marketing after completing your UG. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in marketing.

If you would like get more information, please come to me with a selected list of colleges, and I will be able to assist you further.

My son was born in Maharashtra, and has a Birth-certificate of Maharashtra, but we are permanent residents of Delhi. Is my son eligible to get its benefit in terms of local reservation in MHTCET-2025/

Ans: Hi Rajiv,
As your son born in Maharashtra, you cannot claim a domicile certificate from Maharashtra. To be eligible for a domicile certificate, one needs to have resided in the state for the last 15 years. Therefore, having only a birth certificate is not sufficient. I hope I have answered your question.

Sir, I got retired on 30-Jun-24 after attaining the age of 58. I do not have any further contribution to PF. I would like to know if PF gives interest for next 3 years. In other words, when I withdraw PF at the age of 61 in Jun-2027, would PF have paid interest for 3 years from Jul-24 to Jun-27.

Ans: If no contributions are made for more than three years after retirement, the account becomes inoperative.
It stops earning interest.
The existing balance remains safe.
