34 Engr: मेरी 1Cr गृह बचत योजना, क्या मैं नुकसान में हूँ?

Ans: अपनी मौजूदा वित्तीय स्थिति का आकलन
आपकी संयुक्त मासिक आय 1.13 लाख रुपये है, जो संपत्ति निर्माण के लिए एक ठोस आधार है।

आपके पास 26,000 रुपये की वर्तमान EMI के साथ तीन सक्रिय ऋण हैं, जिसमें भूमि खरीद के लिए ऋण शामिल हैं।

मासिक व्यय 53,000 रुपये हैं, जबकि 19,000 रुपये LIC प्रीमियम के लिए आवंटित किए जाते हैं, और 20,000 रुपये NPS में जाते हैं।

आप सितंबर 2025 तक सभी ऋणों को बंद करने की योजना बना रहे हैं, और वर्तमान में इन ऋणों की ओर सभी अतिरिक्त धनराशि को केंद्रित कर रहे हैं।

ऋण चुकौती रणनीति का मूल्यांकन
ऋण चुकौती पर आपका ध्यान एक बुद्धिमानी भरा कदम है। इन उच्च-ब्याज वाले ऋणों को चुकाने से मासिक नकदी प्रवाह मुक्त हो जाएगा।

ICICI ऋण को बंद करने के बाद 12.46% ब्याज पर SBI ऋण को प्राथमिकता दें, क्योंकि इसकी दर LIC ऋण से अधिक है।

एक बार जब ये ऋण चुका दिए जाते हैं, तो आपकी EMI बाध्यता कम हो जाएगी, जिससे आप घर बनाने और निवेश लक्ष्यों की ओर धन पुनर्निर्देशित कर सकेंगे।

5 वर्षों में घर बनाने की दिशा में रणनीतिक कदम
चरण 1: एक समर्पित बचत निधि की योजना बनाएं
सितंबर 2025 तक ऋण चुकाने के बाद एक समर्पित "होम बिल्डिंग फंड" शुरू करें। इससे आपको घर बनाने के लक्ष्य से पहले दो साल तक मुफ़्त नकदी प्रवाह मिलेगा।

अपने घर के निर्माण की लागत का अनुमान लगाएँ। मुद्रास्फीति के लिए समायोजित 5 वर्षों में आवश्यक बजट के आधार पर मासिक योगदान आवंटित करें।

एक संतुलित म्यूचुअल फंड या मल्टी-कैप फंड में SIP मध्यम जोखिम के साथ इस फंड को बढ़ाने के लिए फायदेमंद हो सकता है।

चरण 2: मौजूदा LIC पॉलिसियों की समीक्षा करें
LIC में 19,000 रुपये मासिक निवेश से शायद इष्टतम रिटर्न न मिले। अपने समग्र पोर्टफोलियो में इन पॉलिसियों की भूमिका पर विचार करें।

यदि ये पारंपरिक या एंडोमेंट पॉलिसियाँ हैं, तो वे आम तौर पर कम रिटर्न देती हैं। टर्म इंश्योरेंस में स्विच करना और बाकी राशि को म्यूचुअल फंड में निवेश करना आपकी संपत्ति-निर्माण क्षमता को बढ़ा सकता है।

यह निर्धारित करने के लिए कि क्या बदलाव आपके दीर्घकालिक लक्ष्यों के लिए लाभकारी होगा, LIC पॉलिसियों के विश्लेषण के लिए एक प्रमाणित वित्तीय योजनाकार (CFP) से परामर्श करें।

चरण 3: NPS और अतिरिक्त निवेशों के बारे में जानें
NPS 20,000 रुपये मासिक योगदान के साथ एक अच्छा रिटायरमेंट टूल है, लेकिन यह घर बनाने जैसे अल्पकालिक लक्ष्यों का समर्थन नहीं कर सकता है।

ऋण के बाद, अगले 5 वर्षों के लिए अपने फंड को बढ़ाने के लिए एक विविध म्यूचुअल फंड SIP पर विचार करें, जिसका लक्ष्य मुद्रास्फीति-समायोजित रिटर्न प्राप्त करना है।

लार्ज-कैप और मल्टी-कैप फंड का संयोजन मध्यम वृद्धि के साथ स्थिरता प्रदान करता है, जो 5 साल की समयसीमा के लिए उपयुक्त है।

भविष्य के लक्ष्यों के लिए वित्त की संरचना करना
चरण 4: एक आपातकालीन निधि बनाएँ
सरकारी कर्मचारियों के रूप में, आपकी नौकरी स्थिर है, लेकिन आपात स्थिति हो सकती है। लिक्विड या शॉर्ट-टर्म डेट फंड में 3-6 महीने के खर्चों की बचत करने का लक्ष्य रखें।

यह फंड अचानक खर्च होने पर आपकी लक्ष्य-उन्मुख बचत में व्यवधान को रोकता है।

चरण 5: नियमित समीक्षा और समायोजन
अपने निवेशों की सालाना समीक्षा एक प्रमाणित वित्तीय योजनाकार के साथ करें ताकि यह सुनिश्चित हो सके कि वे आपकी समयसीमा और लक्ष्यों के अनुरूप हैं।

निर्माण लागत में किसी भी वृद्धि या अपनी वित्तीय स्थिति में बदलाव का आकलन करें। नियमित समायोजन सुनिश्चित करते हैं कि आप अन्य वित्तीय प्राथमिकताओं से समझौता किए बिना ट्रैक पर बने रहें।

अंत में
ऋण चुकाने और मासिक योगदान का प्रबंधन करने के लिए आपका अनुशासित दृष्टिकोण सराहनीय है। ऋण चुकौती के बाद एक केंद्रित निवेश रणनीति आपको 5 वर्षों में अपना घर बनाने के लिए आवश्यक धन बढ़ाने की अनुमति देगी। अपने घर-निर्माण लक्ष्य की ओर एक स्थिर मार्ग सुनिश्चित करने के लिए एक आपातकालीन निधि बनाए रखें, बीमा को अनुकूलित करें और नियमित रूप से अपने निवेश की समीक्षा करें।

Ans: Your combined monthly income from you and your father is Rs. 75,000.
Total EMIs for loans and chit contributions amount to Rs. 49,000.
You are left with Rs. 26,000 to manage household expenses, children's education, and other needs.
You have two LIC policies with an annual premium of Rs. 56,000.
Selling your house may yield around Rs. 42 to 45 lakhs, which can be used to clear your debts.
Priority Recommendations
1. Debt Clearance Strategy
Clearing high-interest loans should be your top priority.

Focus on repaying the following in this order:

Company loan (Rs. 1.5 lakh, EMI Rs. 4,000)
LIC loan (Rs. 2 lakh, EMI Rs. 2,000)
Father's loan (Rs. 4 lakh, EMI Rs. 14,000)
HDFC loan (Rs. 7.2 lakh, EMI Rs. 14,000)
Consider selling your house if you are comfortable shifting to a rental property.

After clearing all debts, you may still have around Rs. 25 lakhs for investments.

2. Managing LIC Policies
You mentioned loans against your LIC policies.
Review the surrender value of these policies.
If they are investment-oriented (like money-back or endowment plans), surrendering may be wise.
Use the funds to clear loans or invest in mutual funds for better returns.
3. Investment Strategy Post-Debt Clearance
If you sell your house and have Rs. 25 lakhs remaining:

Emergency Fund: Keep Rs. 4 to 5 lakhs aside in a fixed deposit or liquid fund.
Children's Education Fund: Allocate Rs. 10 to 12 lakhs to balanced mutual funds for long-term growth.
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP): Start monthly SIPs of Rs. 15,000 in diversified mutual funds.
Retirement Fund: Invest Rs. 5 to 7 lakhs in a mix of equity and hybrid funds for long-term wealth creation.
4. Expense Management Tips
Reduce unnecessary expenses and focus on essential needs.
Review your children's school fees and explore scholarships or fee concessions if possible.
Create a monthly household budget to monitor spending.
5. Chit Fund Contributions
Continue with the chit fund for the remaining 15 months if possible.
Avoid renewing or joining new chit funds in the future.
Use the proceeds from the chit fund payout to build your emergency fund or invest.
6. Insurance Adequacy
Your current insurance policies may not provide adequate life coverage.
Ensure you have a pure term insurance plan with coverage of at least Rs. 1 crore.
Ensure comprehensive health insurance for your entire family, including your father.
Final Insights
Selling your house seems like a practical solution given your financial strain. Clearing debts will free up Rs. 34,000 per month, providing financial stability. Investing wisely in mutual funds can secure your children's education and your family's future.

Stay disciplined with your financial plan, avoid further loans, and focus on wealth creation through systematic investments.

Ans: Hello;

Suppose you sell your house and clear your loans and other liabilities but where will you & your family stay?

How much rental per month would be required to get an adequate house on rent?

Please clarify. Based on your input we can advise you suitably.

Thanks;

Ans: You have done well in building strong financial pillars. This kind of diversified base offers solid long-term stability.

Now let us evaluate your current situation and future decision about the home purchase and possible home loan from a complete 360-degree angle.

Current Financial Snapshot

You earn Rs. 1.55 lakhs every month in-hand.

Your wife earns Rs. 90,000 every month as a government teacher.

You have Rs. 17 lakhs in mutual funds with Rs. 33,000 SIP monthly.

Rs. 20 lakhs in PPF under your name.

Rs. 12 lakhs in EPF corpus.

Rs. 6 lakhs in Sukanya Samriddhi for your 8-year-old daughter.

Rs. 3 lakhs in NPS.

Wife has Rs. 20 lakhs in NPS and Rs. 20 lakhs in PPF.

You earn Rs. 13,000 rent from builder floor.

Rs. 30,000 rent from office space.

Office space was bought for Rs. 86 lakhs in 2024.

Builder floor was bought for Rs. 45 lakhs in 2021.

You are now planning to sell this builder floor.

Planning to buy a house for Rs. 1.4 crore to live in.

You might need Rs. 80 lakh loan for this new house.

Real Estate Exposure Assessment

You already own an office space.

You also own a builder floor.

Real estate already forms a significant part of your portfolio.

Rental yield from both properties is quite low.

Current builder floor gives just Rs. 13,000 rent per month.

Office gives Rs. 30,000, which is acceptable but still below 5% yield.

Please note, capital appreciation in real estate is not assured.

Unlike mutual funds, real estate lacks liquidity and diversification.

Any property resale also involves high transaction cost and time.

Avoid viewing real estate as an investment option going forward.

Loan Burden Analysis

You are considering an Rs. 80 lakh home loan.

Your net family income is Rs. 2.45 lakhs per month.

Current rental income is Rs. 43,000 in total.

A loan of Rs. 80 lakh over 20 years could mean EMI around Rs. 70,000–75,000 monthly.

This will take 30% of your monthly income directly.

That will reduce cash availability for investment, education and emergencies.

EMI pressure can limit future financial flexibility and stress your budget.

You already have good passive income sources and strong savings.

Investment Portfolio Review

Your mutual fund investments of Rs. 17 lakhs are well managed.

Monthly SIP of Rs. 33,000 is a good sign of discipline.

Avoid investing directly in mutual funds without guidance.

Regular funds through MFD with Certified Financial Planner offer better value.

Direct funds can create confusion and poor exit strategy.

A well-guided regular plan keeps emotions and wrong timing out.

Continue mutual fund SIP and increase annually if possible.

Your PPF, EPF and SSY are secure and tax-efficient debt components.

NPS offers long-term benefit, but only for retirement planning.

Avoid depending on NPS for medium term goals.

Family Goal Planning

Your daughter is 8 years old.

You will need funds for her higher education in next 8–10 years.

House EMI for Rs. 80 lakh will reduce your ability to save for her.

Buying a bigger house now may delay wealth creation for future goals.

Stay focused on education, retirement and medical security first.

Options to Reduce Loan Size

Consider using part of your investments to reduce loan size.

Selling builder floor can give you approx. Rs. 45–55 lakhs.

Use that as down payment to reduce loan to Rs. 60–65 lakhs.

Liquidate only what is not long-term goal linked.

Do not touch PPF, EPF or SSY for home down payment.

If required, pause SIP for 12–18 months, but resume early.

Also consider partially using NPS if allowed after 60 years of age.

Emergency Fund and Contingency Review

Do you have 6–9 months of expenses saved as emergency fund?

With EMI of Rs. 70,000, you must have Rs. 3–5 lakhs as cash or liquid funds.

Keep this amount safe for job loss, health emergencies or family needs.

Emergency fund is the most ignored but crucial safety net.

Cash Flow Insight

Monthly in-hand income is Rs. 2.45 lakhs from both of you.

Rent adds another Rs. 43,000.

This makes Rs. 2.88 lakhs income per month.

Monthly SIP is Rs. 33,000.

Proposed EMI will be around Rs. 70,000.

This leaves enough for lifestyle and other expenses.

Still, it is always better to avoid unnecessary big EMI burden.

Suggestions Before Buying Home

Wait for 6–9 months if possible.

Save more for bigger down payment.

Try to bring loan down to Rs. 60 lakhs or less.

Avoid touching investments made for retirement or daughter.

If selling builder floor gives Rs. 50+ lakhs, go ahead with plan.

Compare ready-to-move house vs. under-construction options.

Do not rush just because property prices are rising.

Mental Peace vs. Financial Logic

Owning a house gives mental satisfaction and stability.

But, it should not disturb other goals.

You are already doing very well financially.

Adding Rs. 80 lakh loan may disturb this healthy balance.

Take a house loan only if it fits into your life, not to match society.

You should feel free, not stuck, because of EMI pressure.

Risk Checkpoints

Are you adequately insured for life and health?

Do you have term insurance covering 15–20 times of your salary?

Are you and your family covered under good health insurance?

These are non-negotiable before taking any big home loan.

Tax Angle Awareness

Home loan interest gives tax benefit under section 24.

Principal repaid is allowed under section 80C.

But benefits should not be the only reason to take loan.

Focus on net wealth creation after EMI and opportunity cost.

Final Insights

You are financially disciplined and have built solid base.

Buying a home is a personal decision.

But taking Rs. 80 lakh loan now is not ideal.

Try to reduce loan by higher down payment.

Prioritise daughter’s education, retirement and financial freedom.

Continue mutual funds SIP and avoid real estate-based investing.

Talk to a Certified Financial Planner for customised step-by-step execution plan.

Focus on long-term compounding with stability and peace of mind.

You are on the right track. Just be careful not to over-leverage.

Smart financial choices today will give more peace tomorrow.
