Question by Omprakash on Nov 13, 2020Hindi

Money

What are the tax implications after an account holder dies without filing IT returns?

Ans: If a person dies, the legal heir has to file tax returns on behalf of the deceased, to report the income earned by the deceased until the date of his death, and taxes deducted thereon. Legal heir needs to register oneself on the income tax website for filing the return on behalf of deceased. This is mandatory for e-filing of return on behalf of the deceased person.

The PAN of both the deceased person and legal heir should be registered in the e-filing portal. However, if the deceased person’s PAN is not registered, then the legal heir can register on behalf of the deceased.

Once the request for registration as legal heir is approved, then the person can file return as legal heir on behalf of deceased.

Any income earned after the date of death from the assets inherited from the deceased is taxable in the hands of the legal heir. This would mean that in the year that the person died, the income for the year would need to be segregated between the return of the deceased and the legal heir.

Legal heir should include this income inherited from the deceased in her/his own income while filing own income tax return

My father passed away because of Covid last year without filing his tax returns. We want to file his income tax return now. How can we rectify this situation? Can one file tax returns of a dead person? How to go about it? Please inform us at the earliest.

Ans: Yes, you can file the returns of your father. First of all you have to register as his Legal Representative through his Login at Income Tax Portal through submitting the necessary documents. The Income Tax Department then deactivates your father’s login ID from the Income Tax Portal and then you can file the return of your father through your login.

Career

Hello sir,I am a pcb student and i am preparing for neet and this is my second drop but i don't think i can clear neet and get mbbs seat bcz i am not a student who study all the time i just can't.I am so confused between bsc nursing or bams what should i choose which have better salary package bcs i am the eldest daughter of my family plz answer me

Ans: Hello Stuti
both career have their perks. After B.Sc nursing, you can go abroad where it is very high demand and rewarding. In Europe you can earn above 2L after experience of 1-2 years in India.
After BAMS you will be a doctor & can practice allopathy after a bridge course. Also, you can work as a resident doctor in hospitals.

If you have a budget of around 20-25L for the complete course I can help you with admissions for MBBS abroad. Since NEXT exam has become compulsory for Indian as well as foreign graduates. It is also a great option.

In case of any queries & professional help, you can DM me through insta handle CAREERSTREETS I will help you with the ideal solutions.

WHAT IS THE BEST FUND AT PRESENT FOR SIP IN EQUITY FOR NEXT 7YEAR TENURE?

Ans: Hello;

In my view, flexicap type mutual fund is the best fund to invest for a 7 yr+ horizon.

This may change based on risk appetite and financial profile apart investment horizon.

Any fund from the top quartile that has proven its ability to provide better risk adjusted returns over long-term may be apt.

Happy Investing;

Ans: Hi,
as per jee main brochure, there is no age limit for candidates applying for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE Main). However, Candidates are required to pass the class 12 or equivalent exam in 2023, 2024 or 2025.

Since everything is getting digitalized your details will be stored online in ABC, then I feel it may create a problem.

Dear Mr Milind, I am a 43 year old single guy with no kids. I am looking to retire within next 2 to 3 years. I own a home in a metro city and i do not have any outstanding loans. My current retirement portfolio include 2 crore Mutual Funds (75% Equity and 25% Debt). I have 50 Lakhs in Pf and Gratuity. I also have a plot worth 30 Lakhs which i am not considering for retirement fund. I will have a total retirement portfolio of 3 Cr in next 2 years. My monthly expenses is 50k. Am i in comfortable financial position to retire by 2027? Please Advise

Ans: Hello;

After you accumulate a corpus of 3 Cr, you may 20/10 L in a mix of liquid funds and flexi FDs as your emergency fund.

If you invest the balance 2.8/2.9 Cr in a equity savings type mutual fund with low to moderate risk rating and do an SWP at 3%, you may expect a post tax monthly income of 60 K+.

This will grow with inflation as the fund provides returns and thus provide inflation indexed income.

Consider investing in NPS regularly every month the proceeds of which may be used to boost your retirement income at 60.

Do take good health care insurance.

Best wishes;

I need to accumulate 7 to 8 lakhs in next 1 year I am getting 9.4 lpa can you suggest the investment options

Ans: Hello;

It is better to save ~ 50% of your income towards this goal and get balance amount through loan rather then investing in market linked instruments, returns from which may be quite volatile in the short term.

Is it ok to have a girlfriend while continuing marriage after the age of 60 yrs

Ans: Dear Raj,
Do you have an open marriage? Is your wife aware of your wishes and supports them? If that's the case, you have your own arrangement and I don't see how what you do is anyone else's business. But if that's not the case and you are planning on doing all of this behind your partner's back, and you are asking for some kind of reassurance from me that it is okay to cheat, I can't give you any.
Hope this helps.
