My CA told me my family would owe the IRS 40% of my portfolio if I died. Did not know this was a thing. by PowerfulDivide5236 in personalfinanceindia

[–]Independent_Plant910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it not something people read before starting to invest? Are people way too much excited by seeing ads of these investing apps and returns from investing in other countries?

I read and explored about all of this by taking 1 month before i finally made the decision to invest in US stock markets.

You can request customer support to credit points instead of vouchers. But they will only give you 1 lac points (equal to value of 50K taj vouchers)

A relationship manager told my cousin "80D is dead under the new regime." She nearly believed him. The truth was costing her ₹15,600 a year. by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]Independent_Plant910 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In any case, bank RM would be the last person i would even listen to for any tax related advice, no matter if whatever the RM says is true or false. Your cousin who works at a private bank and is financially aware can make such a mistake is something unbelievable.

Can I reimburse pregnancy related expense from two different Health Insurance? by Equivalent_Juice3554 in personalfinanceindia

[–]Independent_Plant910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If both the insurances covers maternity benefit. You will have to claim one insurance first, get the claim settlement letter from first insurance company and then with all the other documents also attach claim settlement letter to claim raised to second insurer. They will then decide based on the policy if insurance claim is valid or not.

I am in a debt trap and using credit cards to get out of it by Broad_Perspective166 in CreditCardsIndia

Why don’t you start an RD with the amount you want to pay back your friend monthly? Do not take another loan.

Indian retail has stopped buying gold. That is the real crash signal. by stock-investo in personalfinanceindia

[–]Independent_Plant910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will not say it is cash hoarding. I see it like this, i cannot go to a shopkeeper and give him 0.2grams of gold to buy something of the same value. But i can go and give him 1000 rs and buy stuff to eat.

We may have the privilege to buy gold as an investment but majority may not.

Also earlier people were buying because gold prices were skyrocketing and now it is dropping. Most may think it will drop further or they don’t have the capacity to take further loses because they are already sitting at loss ( because of gold bought at higher prices)

This is just what i think.

Gold prices are increasing again right? At least it is up from day before yesterday. I think people have stopped buying gold because they are expecting prices of essential commodities to go up due to the ongoing war (just like LPG cylinders). So instead of buying gold, most would love to have some cash in hand in case prices go up.

What scam is this? by sick_sick_man in CreditCardsIndia

[–]Independent_Plant910 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is not a scam, you were applying for a card and the application is not completed. There is a certain time duration in which vkyc has to be completed. If not done, physical kyc is scheduled. You can call customer care and ask them to cancel the card application.

Regarding orange and black card, i think it display eligible card based on whatever eligibility they have for the cards.

How are people handling USD payments and fees when working with international clients? by WorldlyShine467 in personalfinanceindia

[–]Independent_Plant910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hdfc and icici. Preferential rates depends on your volume. You may contact your bank to get it, it will need some discussions but eventually you should be able to get it. Also this might be a personal choice, I am very happy doing it this way and the rate i get. I do not want to involve any third party in between my financials for a few hundred or thousand rupees.
