Senior citizen: Tax on LTCG exceeding Rs. 1.25 lakh?

Ans: Hello;

Formula for monthly pension under EPS is:

Monthly pension=(pensionable salary X pensionable service)/70

The pensionable salary is the average monthly salary of the last 60 months.

Pensionable service is in number of years while being EPFO member.

Also EPF and EPS are two separate schemes.

EPF you get as lumpsum on retirement while EPS is the pension scheme.

12% of employee contribution and 3.67% of employer contribution goes towards EPF

While only 8.33% of employer contribution goes towards EPS.

As per above formula, your spouse may expect a monthly pension of around Rs. 5350/- after completion of 25 year service.

While selecting annuity service provider apart from higher rate of annuity, due importance must be given to the solvency ratio, strong parentage, company having management and board committed to high standards of ethical conduct and integrity.

To retain neutrality of this forum, we are not in a position to recommend any specific insurer however if you search based on above factors, you will surely be able to find the best for your requirement.

Ans: Hello;

EPS scheme stops at 58 years of age and you may opt for deferred pension for two years i.e. upto 60 age.

Then you are supposed to get pension by submitting form 10 (D).

EPF contribution can continue till such time as you keep working.

In this case both employer as well as employee contribution go to EPF.

Opt for pension and continue in service till the time you want.

Ans: Here are some ideas that will help you, Mr. Shashikant. 1) Figure out what went wrong with your sales job. Problems with the product, not getting enough exercise, goals, stress, and your part can all affect how well you do your job. 2) Figure out what you're good at when it comes to banking products and services, talking to people, and managing relationships with clients. Think about jobs that don't require a lot of sales, like credit research, customer service, and back office work. 3) Get more attention by getting new certifications and learning new skills like CRM, Excel etc. 4) Look into jobs besides sales, like those in banking and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), the insurance industry, and financial services support. 5) Use LinkedIn, talk to former coworkers or bosses, and look for casual or freelance work to find work. You can even approach a Professional Career Coach such as Vikram Anand etc. to help you in fine-tuning your Resume, Job Search Strategies through LinkedIn, Job Interview Skills etc. 6) Figure out how to handle money while you're away. Spend less on things you don't need, think about getting a part-time job, and ask your family for short-term financial help. 7) Never get demotivated. Be very determined & stay active. All the BEST for Your Son’s Prosperous Future.
