From where i can get FORM – 60 / 61
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Devraj-The entity who ask for your PAN will provide you these forms. For example, if banks ask for your PAN, then they provide these forms for declaration that you don’t have PAN.

Mam’s I have education loan in canara bank, while taking loan i didn’t have PAN card. I have it right now. I haven’t gave PAN card number to bank yet. What should I do ? Whether go and mention it in the bank or leave it as it is. And
I read somewhere that I may get tax exemption if I mention it in bank while working.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dayanand-Education loan will be on parents name and income eligibility will be on parents name only. Hence, your PAN updation is not required. However, once you start job then for taxation purpose you have to provide PAN number to bank. Hence, if your aim is to avail tax benefits, then go and update it. Yes, there is a tax benefit under Sec.80E for whatever the interest you pay towards educational loan. You can get benefit only for interest payment but not the principal payment.

I am around 50 yrs of age, during many attempts while filling the term plan forms on line the requisite information is so specific and with all details it sometimes create doubts, will the insurer will get justice after the demise , because the insurance company will some times fine some lacuna on declaring his (insurer) all status these includes health & wealth for all family members. Secondly why the premium is so difference for same age with same time of term plan in the insurance company? Thirdly among these three company I’ve choose which one is better HDFC, ICICIPRU & MAXLIFE in regards to claim settlement and less legal hassle post death, because ultimate aim to the insurer is to financially support the family in his/her absent . Thanks for providing such a good portal.

Ashish-1) There are million reasons for die and million reasons to reject. Hence, we can’t predict all. The only work what we can do is to declare facts properly.
2) Premium differs based on the mortality table they use, business competition and some other facts.
3) For me all are good.

Whether as per amended rules regarding enhancement of yearly limit in amount of deposits into PPF Account, an NRI can deposit Rs.1,50,000/ or Rs.1,00,000/ ?
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Mahajan-At first, NRIs not allowed to open and invest in PPF. However, if they already own a PPF then they can only CONTINUE but not extend. For those, the limit is Rs.1,50,000 but not Rs.1,00,000.
