My wife is housewife, and has no other income. To secure her future, from my salary, if I contribute every year around 2Lac into NPS tier-1 account of my wife, will there be any tax implication to her or me, whenever she gets pension from NPS when she becomes 60 years old.

Ans: Upon maturity of the NPS account, you can only withdraw 60% of the amount, and this is entirely tax-free. The balance 40% is used to buy an annuity. However, the annuity income is taxable as per the investor’s income tax slab rate in the year of payout.

With reference to contributing to NPS account on behalf of spouse, amount transferred to spouse’s NPS A/c will not be subject to tax.

However, Income from asset (amount) transferred directly or indirectly to spouse without consideration is clubbed in the hands of the transferor. Accordingly, the tax implication would be on you (Husband) wherever your wife gets pension as annuity Income (balance 40%).

Question by Pranabananda - Sep 22, 2022Hindi

Money

Sir, I would be grateful if you could provide some clarifications regarding NPS. I am a salaried person. I am getting full tax benefit under 80C for PF and VPF. I am also getting benefit of Rs 50,000 by investing in Tier-I account of NPS. My employer has contributed Rs 2,45,941.40 in my NPS account in 2021-22. Should I get tax benefit on my employer's contribution of Rs 2,45,941.40. Please answer.

Ans: I understand that amount of PF and VPF is sufficient to claim deduction of Rs 1,50,000 u/s 80C and deduction of Rs 50,000 is taken under 80CCD (i.e. upper limit of deduction specified under both sections are taken); you will not be eligible for deduction for employers contribution.

Question by Prasanna - Jul 16, 2023Hindi

Money

Hardik Sir, i am retiring from Govt services shortly, all the pension benefits which i get , i would like to give it to my wife, will there be any tax implication to her for this one time transaction. Whether it is advantageous or dis advantageous to transfer to wife as one time gift, i want her to take the responsibility of this amount of around 60 lakhs.

Ans: Dear Prasanna,

Firstly, congratulations on your upcoming retirement. It's a significant milestone, and I'm here to help you navigate the financial aspects of it.

Now, coming to your question about transferring your pension benefits to your wife. As per the Income Tax laws in India, any gift received from specified relatives, such as a spouse, is not treated as income. Therefore, it is fully exempt from income tax. So, if you decide to give your pension benefits to your wife as a one-time gift, there won't be any immediate tax implications for her.

However, there's an important aspect to consider. While the gift itself is tax-free, any income generated from this gift (for example, if your wife invests this amount and earns interest or dividends) would be clubbed with the income of the giver, i.e., you, and taxed accordingly. This is known as the clubbing of income.

In conclusion, gifting your pension benefits to your wife could be a good idea if the aim is to let her manage the funds. However, the income generated from the gifted amount would still be taxable in your hands.

I hope this clarifies your query.

Best,
Hardik

Hello sir, My current epf is 10k monthly and 30k annually in ppf. Thus cealing my 80c to 1.5lakhs. I am thinking of starting an NPS of 10k as well for my retirement. Will this 10k of nps be taxable as as i have already capped my 80c i know i have 50k more deductable in 80ccd for nps. But since total will be 120k annually thus wanted to understand if these will be taxable? And will it effect my return after 30 years. As of now i am 30 years old

Ans: You contribute Rs 10,000 monthly to EPF and Rs 30,000 annually to PPF. This totals Rs 1.5 lakhs under Section 80C.

Considering NPS Contribution
You plan to start contributing Rs 10,000 monthly to NPS for retirement. This would amount to Rs 1.2 lakhs annually.

Tax Implications
Section 80C and 80CCD
Your contributions under Section 80C are already maxed out at Rs 1.5 lakhs. However, Section 80CCD(1B) allows an additional Rs 50,000 deduction specifically for NPS contributions.

Taxability of NPS Contribution
The Rs 1.2 lakhs NPS contribution is partly deductible. Rs 50,000 can be claimed under Section 80CCD(1B). The remaining Rs 70,000 will be taxable.

Effect on Return
Long-Term Growth Potential
NPS has a mix of equity and debt investments. This helps in balanced growth. Over 30 years, NPS can grow significantly due to compounding.

Withdrawal Rules
At retirement, 60% of NPS corpus is tax-free. The remaining 40% must be used to purchase an annuity. The annuity income is taxable.

Advantages of NPS
Additional Tax Benefits
NPS offers an extra Rs 50,000 deduction under Section 80CCD(1B). This is over and above the Rs 1.5 lakhs under Section 80C.

Long-Term Growth
NPS investments benefit from compounding. The mix of equity and debt can provide balanced returns.

Retirement Security
NPS provides a steady income post-retirement through annuities.

Disadvantages of NPS
Taxability of Annuity
The annuity income from NPS is taxable. This can reduce your net returns in retirement.

Withdrawal Restrictions
NPS has strict withdrawal rules. Partial withdrawals are allowed only for specific purposes before retirement.

Final Insights
Your current EPF and PPF contributions maximize Section 80C benefits. Starting an NPS contribution of Rs 10,000 monthly is a good idea. You get an additional Rs 50,000 deduction under Section 80CCD(1B). However, the remaining Rs 70,000 will be taxable. NPS has long-term growth potential but comes with some tax implications. Plan your investments considering both the benefits and restrictions of NPS.

Projected NPS Corpus
Accumulation Phase
Regular Contributions: Rs. 25,000 monthly until retirement.
Compounded Growth: Funds grow due to compounding.
Estimation: Use conservative growth rate for projections.
Retirement Income
Annuity Purchase
Mandatory Annuity: 40% of NPS corpus goes into an annuity.
Regular Pension: Annuity provides a monthly pension.
Lump Sum Withdrawal
60% Withdrawal: The remaining 60% can be withdrawn.
Tax-Free: This withdrawal is tax-free.
Diversification Strategy
Beyond NPS
PPF: Continue contributions for safe returns.
EPF: Maintain EPF for steady growth.
Mutual Funds: Diversify with equity and debt funds.
Insurance: Ensure adequate health and life coverage.
Expected Retirement Needs
Income Requirements
Inflation Adjustment: Account for rising costs.
Healthcare: Allocate funds for medical expenses.
Lifestyle: Maintain a comfortable lifestyle post-retirement.
Calculating Retirement Corpus
Corpus Size
Monthly Needs: Rs. 50,000 per month post-retirement.
Inflation-Adjusted: Needs will increase with inflation.
Life Expectancy: Plan for 20-25 years post-retirement.
Income Sources
NPS Pension: Regular income from the annuity.
Lump Sum: Withdrawn amount can be invested.
Other Investments: Income from PPF, EPF, and mutual funds.
Final Insights
NPS Alone: NPS is good but not sufficient alone.
Diversify: Invest in PPF, EPF, and mutual funds.

Question by TARRA - Jul 05, 2024Hindi

Career

Sir my self krishna sir can't able focus on studies properly plz give some tips to study for more hours for jee

Ans: Krishna, adhere to the following Strategies/Tips/Steps:

(1) Whenever you study at home, study for 45-minutes. Then take a break of 10-minutes when you can move away from your study table, walk, have some water & relax. If you continue studying beyond 45-minutes, your concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake.
(2) On daily basis (morning or evening whichever will be convenient to you), do yoga or meditation or physical exercises or play any games / sports for at least 30-45 minutes. This will further reduce your stress / distractions.
(3) Study tough topics / tough subjects (applicable to you) early morning with your fresh mind.
(4) Eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits which you can afford for & Avoid soft drinks/junk foods
(5) Every day night, before going to bed, revise whatever you have studied during the day.
(6) Also, revise every week whatever you have covered till date (here your short-notes which you should prepare will be helpful).
(7) Keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online
(8) Give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM)
(9) You might be aware that JEE rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Maths, followed by Physics & Chemistry. Practice more and more in Maths, till you reach Speed & Accuracy

(10) By December-January, attempt fully syllabus online test series, evaluate and analyse your performance such as,

(a) which topic / unit / concept you are weak which needs your revision and improvement as this will disturb you when you appear in actual JEE exam
(b) abnormal time taken to attempt any question which you can come to know from Online Test Series which you should reduce
(c) which questions you skipped and why?

(11) Please AVOID studying under pressure that you should get admission only into IITs/ NITs. Never advisable. Any one can be successful, even if he / she studies in NON-IIT / NON-NIT Colleges also.

(12) Have Plan B & Plan C for other Colleges Entrance Exams / Disciplines-Streams.
(13) Avoid comparing yourself with other students.

(14) Also, it is highly ideal to appear in / attempt\minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams (for both Govt & Private Engineering Colleges). You will have a lot of options (easiest method) to choose the best and most suitable one, keeping in view a lot of factors such as, College | Location | Your Interest | Stream Preference | Placement Records | College Culture | Your Short & Long Term Goals | Pressure You Can Go Through | Your AIR & Job Market Condition when you apply for your BTech & Even after.

I hope I have answered to your question with value additions. All the BEST for your Bright Future.
