Ans: Hello;

You need to put aside amount worth 6-8 months regular expense coverage and keep it aside in a liquid fund or a savings account.

Do invest in NPS for your retirement planning. It is the best tool available from cost, returns, tax point of view.

Only thing to be borne in mind is NPS allows very restricted withdrawals over its entire span, subject to T&C, because it's a product meant for retirement.

Except home loan all your loans are getting settled in less than a year so it's okay but never ever use loan as source of funds for personal needs.

Also avoid investing in chit funds because they have a high risk and hence promise of higher returns.

Also start systematic investments in mutual funds through monthly sip's as per your goals and risk appetite.

The MF/stock holding and chit fund money return(5 L) will take care of your marital expenses.

Happy Investing;

I am 43 and have approx 5cr invested in real estate into two different properties other than the house I live in (the premium that I have got over years may not be a white money when I will plan to liquidate) , another 17L in stocks (which are heavily beaten down for now and 17L is a beaten down value), along with some 20L in company PF accounts , and some 6L of emergency funds. I have a child of 5 yrs of age to support and wife also works. Apart from it, I got no medical or term insurance, I am looking forward for a retirement in another two years max. I dont have any ongoing loan and live a simple life. Can I plan it successfully ? (I draw a salary of not more than 1L per month after tax. )
Ans: Hello;

How much rental per month do you expect from the real-estate properties?

Please confirm.

Thanks;

I am 41 years old male working in a private firm and investing from 2017 in MFs and accumulated around 20 lakhs. My target is to achieve 3 crores in 15 years ( from 2025 ) . My portfolio is given below , Apart from MF investing NPS & PPF and some times in Direct equity. Question : 1) Is my fund selection ok , With this current Portfolio along with 10 % Stepup can i achieve my goal. 2) Is SBI blue chip & HSBC small cap funds ok or do I switch to other funds ? 3) Want to invest 5000 more, in which fund should I allocate ? 4) Shall I stop PPF and that money I divert to a mutual fund? 5) Some other funds are also there in my portfolio which I stopped SIP but did not withdraw the amount. What is the best strategy in this case? Mutual Funds S/no Fund name Amount (RS) /month 1 SBI Blue Chip fund 5000 2 Parag Parikh Flexi Cap fund 10000 3 Kotak Multicap Fund 5000 4 Motilal Oswal Mid Cap fund 10000 5 HDFC Mid Cap opportunities 5000 7 HSBC Small Cap fund 5000 8 Nippon India Small Cap fund 5000 Total 45000 S/no NPS Amount (RS) /month 1 Tier -1 7000 2 Tier -2 3000 PPF Amount (RS) / year 1 ICICI PPF 60000
Ans: Hello;

Please find pointwise reply to your queries:

1. You already have allocation to small and mid caps through Flexi cap and multicap funds. Despite that you may have additional allocation to One dedicated mid and small cap fund but not two!

The monthly sip's into second small cap and midcap fund may instead be moved to an aggressive hybrid type mutual fund and multi asset allocation type mutual fund.

You may achieve your target with the proposed step up(10%) planned even considering 10% modest returns from MF investments.

2. Funds are okay however you need to review risk-adjusted performance every year with reference to the benchmark and category average and then decide suitably.

3. You may invest additional 5 K in gold mutual fund.

4. Keep contributing to PPF. It's a social security scheme and goes towards sovereign debt in your overall asset allocation.

5. Review past MF holding in line with your overall asset allocation, portfolio overlap, risk adjusted performance and decide as appropriate.

You may select and avoid funds from suggested categories based on risk adjusted performance criteria.

This being a neutral forum we are prohibited to recommend xyz fund.

We are a Private Limited Company with an employee strength of 60, and we strictly follow all PF rules. As per the applicable salary criteria, we contribute to the Provident Fund wherever required. Recently, we discovered that an employee who joined our company two years ago has an existing UAN linked to their Aadhaar. However, at the time of joining, the employee declared in Form 11 that they did not have a PF account. Based on this declaration, we did not contribute to their PF account. Now, the employee states that they were unaware of their PF account, and the UAN linked to their Aadhaar is currently inactive. Furthermore, they do not wish to activate their PF account. Given this situation, should we present Form 11 as valid proof for non-contribution, or are there any corrective actions required to comply with PF regulations? Kindly guide us on the appropriate steps to take in this matter.
Ans: Hello;

If the organisation is such that EPFO laws are applicable and if employee 's salary is as per the threshold given by EPFO (15 K basic +DA) then you don't have an option to avoid EPF.

The EPFO commissioner may issue your organisation a show cause notice as to why the form-11 submitted by the employee was not scrutinized thoroughly when it was submitted.

You may furnish joint declaration in the prescribed format to correct the mistake in form 11 and deposit all employer employee contributions till date with penalty as decided by the EPF Commissioner.

Actually such willful suppression of facts by the employee, which bring the employer into legal issues, deserves termination.

Seek advice from a lawyer specializing in labour and EPF laws, if required.

Best wishes;

वित्तीय विशेषज्ञ की SWP सलाह: क्या मैं बेहतर रिटर्न की उम्मीद कर सकता हूँ?
Ans: नमस्ते;

YouTube पर फिनफ्लुएंसर के वीडियो देखकर अपने व्यक्तिगत वित्त का प्रबंधन करना आपके वित्तीय स्वास्थ्य के लिए हानिकारक हो सकता है।

कभी भी इसके झांसे में न आएं क्योंकि इसमें निहित स्वार्थ होते हैं। ध्यान रखें कि अगर कोई चीज मुफ्त में उपलब्ध है तो आप ही उत्पाद हैं।

किसी निवेश सलाहकार या प्रमाणित वित्तीय योजनाकार से सलाह लेना बेहतर होगा।

क्या मुझे अपना गृह ऋण समय से पहले चुका देना चाहिए या 30 लाख रुपये कहीं और निवेश करना चाहिए?
Ans: नमस्ते;

वित्तीय समझदारी के साथ-साथ कर के दृष्टिकोण से भी होम लोन चुकाना समझदारी है।

पुरानी संपत्ति की बिक्री से होने वाले पूंजीगत लाभ को नई संपत्ति के ऋण के भुगतान के विरुद्ध सेट किया जा सकता है, जिससे पूंजीगत लाभ कर भुगतान से पूरी तरह बचा जा सकता है।

हालाँकि, हाल ही में संसद द्वारा पारित नए आयकर बिल को देखते हुए, इस विषय पर व्यक्तिगत आयकर में विशेषज्ञता रखने वाले CA से परामर्श करना बेहतर होगा।

आप अवधि को वही रख सकते हैं और EMI को कम कर सकते हैं, जिससे आपको अधिक निवेश योग्य अधिशेष आय प्राप्त होगी जिसे आप अपने दीर्घकालिक लक्ष्यों के लिए NPS/मासिक SIP में स्थानांतरित कर सकते हैं।

बेरोज़गारी और कर्ज में डूबे होने पर क्या मैं अपने शिक्षा ऋण की EMI रोक सकता हूँ?
Ans: नमस्ते;

अपने ऋणदाता से बात करें और ऋण पर अस्थायी रोक या पुनर्गठन की संभावना तलाशें।

यदि आप ऋणदाता को ऋण चुकाने के अपने इरादे के बारे में आश्वस्त करते हैं, तो वे आपके सिबिल स्कोर पर नरम रुख अपना सकते हैं, यदि आप इसके बारे में विनम्र अनुरोध करते हैं।

यदि यह ठीक काम करता है तो अच्छा है।

यदि नहीं, तो अपने माता-पिता से बात करें और देखें कि क्या आप ऋण चुकाने के लिए कुछ संपत्ति बेच सकते हैं।

जब आपके पास अतिदेय ऋण हो, तो आपातकालीन निधि के रूप में नियमित व्यय कवरेज के लिए हमेशा 8-10 महीने का समय सुनिश्चित करें।

यह ऐसी स्थितियों के दौरान मदद करता है।
