Prepaid Gift Card


The recent demonetisation has brought about a change in the way we carry out our daily transactions. Even while gifting near and dear ones, we are seeing the birth of alternate gifting arrangements that work as well as cash gifts. One such way of gifting is through a prepaid gift card. A prepaid gift card is a pre-loaded card which can be used by the person to whom it has been gifted to carry out any expenses as he or she wishes, limited to the balance on the card.

Conditions

The recipient of the gift card need not be a customer of the issuing bank. Some banks also do not require the gift giver to be an existing customer of the bank.

How to obtain?

Gift cards can be obtained at the bank branch by filling up a gift card form.Existing bank customers also have the facility to obtain gift cards on their Net banking portal or through phone banking.

Details

Name and address of the donor and the recipient must be mentioned on the form. The amount to be gifted and account details for debit (if the donor is an existing bank customer) or payment instrument (chequeDD) must be included. Purpose of gifting also should be mentioned on the form.

Process

Once the bank receives the completed form and payment, a loaded gift card is issued in the name of the beneficiary. A PIN is generated and dispatched to the recipient for using the card or viewing balance on the card.

Charges

Banks usually do not charge customers for obtaining gift cards. However, the recipient might have to pay service charges for viewing balance on the card at the ATM of the bank.


Gift cards are typically single load cards and cannot be topped up later.


Cash withdrawal is not allowed on a gift card.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining.   I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life ­ the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free.

NRI from Canada and US Invest in Mutual Funds in India

Investing in Indian mutual funds by NRIs from US and Canada As of December 2016, eight Indian fund houses were accepting investments from US/Canada-based NRIs Most of the Indian mutual fund houses have stopped accepting funds from US and Canada based NRIs due to regulatory restrictions.
