Money

I am govt employee, i want to know regarding LTC taxation under new regime. In old regime it was non taxable also in public sector under LTA it was taxable when i claim for paid amount however if i produce journey ticket it was non taxable. But under LTC it was taxable for govt employee even i produce journey ticket in new regime.

Ans: Under the new tax regime, LTC/LTA is taxable for employees even if you produce journey tickets.
So, if you want to claim LTC/LTA exemption, you will need to choose the old tax regime. If you choose the new tax regime, you will not be able to claim LTC exemption, even if you produce journey tickets.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
• The new tax regime has lower tax rates than the old tax regime. So, even though you cannot claim LTC/LTA exemption under the new tax regime, you may still end up paying less tax overall.
• There are any number of calculators available online including on the Income Tax Dept website which can give you an idea of which regime is beneficial for you in different scenarios.

Sir, My annual income in I T return after deduction is only 1.5 lakhs due to bank intrest. Now i sold 300 shares which we purchased way back in 1996. LTCG is rs.3 lakhs after waiver of rs 1.25 lacs. With this my annual income is still below taxable limit as per I T norms Do I have to pay any LTCG tax ?

Ans: 01. As per details provided of the Income, your total Income is not below Taxable Limits & you shall pay tax, as per calculations.
02. However, you should also check tax calculations as per new regime. This is not possible for me, since you have mentioned your annual income after deductions.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

EPF- What happens to EPF on moving to abroad or leaving service permanently and no longer contributing to EPF after nearly 15 years of service and accumulation? Would I continue to get interest even after 3 years if I do not withdraw? Are there any restrictions?

Ans: Hello;

After 3 consecutive years of no contribution, except interest, EPF account becomes inoperative and technically shouldn't accrue interest.

But EPFO has a current policy to pay interest on all accounts, includes inoperative accounts too, till member age of 58.

Hello finance guru, I am 45 years old , with 2 kids. I live in a Tier-1 city with ~49 Crores of networth. This includes ~12 crores of investment in real estate (land and a flat at a prime location), ~34 crores in equity, ~1 Cr in Crypto and ~2 Cr in cash. I work in a pharmaceutical firm in an executive role and planning to retire in the next 1 year. My knowledge on finances is average and would like to seek your advise. I would like to generate ~2.5 lakhs per month for expenses from my savings and would like to double my networth in the next 7 years. Could you provide me help on the directions I can take to make this working?

Ans: Hello;

Deducting the real estate and crypto investments from your networth, we have 36 Cr.

You may invest 4 Cr each in 2 equity savings type mutual funds and 2 conservative hybrid debt oriented mutual funds.

If you do a 3% SWP from each of these funds you may expect a monthly payout of around 2.8 L (post-tax).

These funds generally yield 8-9% returns so they will continue to provide inflation adjusted income to you.(6% inflation rate considered)

Balance remains around 20 Cr, while 2 Cr may be retained as liquid fund for contingency requirement, the balance 18 Cr you may invest in combination of mutual funds, PMSs and AIFs.

As you enter retirement phase your focus should shift from "maximising returns" to "decent returns with moderate risk" since return of capital is more important than return on capital.

Dear Sir, I am 53 yrs. I want to retire @60 with a INR 2.00 Cr Corps. Currently I have following SIP Total SIP 30000/- PM Axis Bluechip Fund - Regular Plan - Growth HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund - Growth Plan Aditya Birla Sun Life Pure Value Fund - Growth Option Aditya Birla Sun Life Equity Advantage Fund - Regular Growth Sundaram Mid Cap Fund Regular Plan - Growth Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund -Regular Plan-Growth Franklin India Focused Equity Fund - Growth Plan Franklin India Smaller Companies Fund-Growth HDFC Top 100 Fund - Growth Option HDFC Multi Cap Fund - Growth Option I have MF Investment @ 26.00 Lakh Current Value is @ 52.00 Lakh. I have Savings of Rs. 10.00 Lakh, PPF Rs. 5.00 Lakh, Share investment Current Market Value around Rs. 20.00 Lakhs. I don't have any Loan. Insurance INR 1.50 Cr. up age of 70. Per month earning around Rs. 1.25 Lakh. I have a Investment in real estate which can give my INR 40.00 Lakh at current Market Price & Gold Investment of INR 20.00 Lakh which I think sufficient for my daughter Marriage. Current Monthly Expense INR 40-50 K. I am in a new tax regime, so discontinue my ELSS saving and PPF Saving. Suggest how i can increase my Corpus for retirement.

Ans: Hello;

You may top-up your monthly sip by 10% every year for 7 years. This will grow into a sum of around 0.51 Cr.

The MF corpus and direct equity holdings worth 0.72 Cr today will grow into a corpus of 1.59 Cr after 7 years.

Therefore you may achieve your intended corpus of 1.59+ 0.51=2.1 Cr, 7 years from now. A modest return of 12% is assumed from MF and direct equity holdings.

2-3 years before 60 you should start moving your gains from equity funds to liquid or ultra short duration debt funds to protect it against market volatility.

Also good health care insurance for yourself and your spouse.

RE property you may sell at a later date to boost your retirement income.

Ans: Hello;

Your assessment seems correct, i.e. mixing of EPF and EPS contribution.

You may furnish it to EPFO through your current employer with an application for transfer request with revised and updated form 3 A enclosed.

This should resolve your issue.

My old pf of trust got transfered to curent pf account , both under same UAN no. I can see two pf accounts when i do account log in with UAN, but i can not withdraw from old account neither i can see combined ammount instead i see my old and current pf account. When i raised grievance i got reply from pf office that my old pf got transfered to cureent account. Now i can not raise new grievance within one month. How will i draw old amount or get get old amount get added in current account .please advise

Ans: Hello;

Since you had different member IDs while you were working for two different legal entities they are shown differently under same UAN.

If you want to transfer funds from old member ID to new member ID then you need to have a clear date of exit(DOE) mentioned.

Under the online claim option you can find One Member Transfer option. Just fill that form. submit the transfer request. Then select the present employer to approve your transfer details.

First it will be approved by the current Employer and after that it will be sent to Field Officer.

It will take 5 to 21 days for transferring your account from old member Id to new.

I am 46 years old, have a income of 2.8 lacs with variable pay every month after tax deduction. My total CTC is approx 66 lakhs/annum with stock. I have 2 flats worth 1.8 crores, one land worth 9 lakhs, one ancestral land worth 45 lakhs, have company stocks worth 20 to 30 lakhs. PPF current is 32 lakhs for 21 years of experience. My liabilities are home loan worth 80 lakhs. My monthly expenses including EMI is 1.8 Lakhs. My kid education cost 2-3 lakh per annum in Bangalore and she is 12 years in grade 7. Can you help me, how much I need to save every month, so I can have 6-7 crores in liquid money in 10 years and how much should I have for retirement plan by 65+

Ans: Hello;

You may start a monthly sip of 80 K and top it up every year by 20% to reach a corpus of 4 Cr after 10 years considering modest return of 12%.

The land parcels(45+9= 54 L) and company stock(20 L) if sold and the proceeds reinvested in mutual funds for 10 years may yield you a corpus of around 2.3 Cr after 10 years.

So you may accumulate a cumulative corpus of 4+2.3=6.3 Cr after 10 years, as planned.

If you invest 20 K in NPS per month you may reach a corpus of 1 Cr+ in 19 years from now.

You may need a corpus of 8 Cr to generate a retirement income of 2.8 L per month (post-tax) to cover your inflation indexed regular expenses sans the EMI.
