Hello, Im 57 and retired from services and no more a monthly salaried person.My FD interest income per year would be 6 lacs . Do i need to pay tax ? I have a medical insurance plan where i pay a premium of Rs 40k per year .

Ans: As per the income tax laws in India for the financial year 2022-23, if your income from all sources, including interest income from fixed deposits, exceeds Rs. 2.5 lakhs, you are required to file an income tax return.

In your case, your interest income from fixed deposits is Rs. 6 lakhs per year, which is above the basic exemption limit of Rs. 2.5 lakhs. Therefore, you will have to pay tax on the amount that exceeds the exemption limit.

The tax rate applicable to your income would depend on your total income, including any deductions you may be eligible for. For senior citizens (individuals aged 60 years or more), there are higher basic exemption limits available. For the financial year 2022-23, the basic exemption limit for senior citizens is Rs. 3 lakhs.

Regarding your medical insurance premium, you may be eligible for a deduction under section 80D of the Income Tax Act, up to Rs. 50,000 if you are a senior citizen. This deduction can be claimed from your taxable income, reducing your tax liability.

Sir I got admission in IIMT greater noida in cse. Is it good? I didn't have enough budget and im suffering from tuberculosis from last one year.

Ans: Based on the research, IIMT Greater Noida’s CSE programme offers moderate academic value with placement rates of 50–90% and average packages of ?3–7 LPA (highest up to ?24 LPA in CSE), though the ?1.8 Crore package cited for 2025 appears anomalous. The annual fee of ?1.4 lakh (totaling ~?5.4 lakh) is budget-friendly, and the institute provides scholarships up to ?1.5 lakh/year for academic merit, alongside medical facilities including a 100-bed hospital and ?15,000 insurance coverage, which could aid your tuberculosis management. However, its NIRF ranking is unlisted, and peer colleges like GL Bajaj or ABES offer stronger placements (?6–12 LPA averages) at similar fees, albeit with stricter attendance requirements that may conflict with health needs. If financial strain persists, consider state universities like GGSIPU (lower fees) or online/distance-learning CSE programmes from IGNOU/Amity for flexibility during treatment. Prioritize colleges with robust medical support and fee-waiver policies for health conditions. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
