Mera monthly income 87000 hai maine 35 lac ka home loan liya hai 7% ki dar se liya tha ab 9% ho gaya hai.monthly emi 31041 katata hai.20 sal ke liye hai lic se.mai jyada amount jama keru ya kahi invest Karu plz sujhaw de

Ans: आपकी स्थिति को देखते हुए, अपने होम लोन को चुकाने और भविष्य के लिए निवेश करने के बीच संतुलन बनाना महत्वपूर्ण है। यहाँ कुछ सुझाव दिए गए हैं:

1. अपने वित्तीय लक्ष्यों का मूल्यांकन करें: अपने अल्पकालिक और दीर्घकालिक वित्तीय लक्ष्यों को निर्धारित करें, जैसे कि रिटायरमेंट प्लानिंग, बच्चों की शिक्षा और आपातकालीन निधि।

2. अपनी जोखिम सहनशीलता का आकलन करें: कोई भी निवेश निर्णय लेने से पहले अपनी जोखिम सहनशीलता पर विचार करें। मूल्यांकन करें कि क्या आप संभावित रूप से उच्च रिटर्न के लिए अतिरिक्त जोखिम लेने में सहज हैं।

3. अपने होम लोन की समीक्षा करें: ब्याज दरों में वृद्धि के साथ, कम ब्याज दर प्राप्त करने के लिए अपने होम लोन को पुनर्वित्त करने पर विचार करें, जो आपके मासिक EMI बोझ को कम कर सकता है।

4. आपातकालीन निधि बनाएँ: सुनिश्चित करें कि आपके पास अप्रत्याशित खर्चों को कवर करने के लिए पर्याप्त आपातकालीन निधि है, आमतौर पर तीन से छह महीने के रहने के खर्च के बराबर।

5. निवेश करने पर विचार करें: यदि आपके पास अपने खर्चों को पूरा करने और आपातकालीन निधि बनाने के बाद अधिशेष धन है, तो म्यूचुअल फंड, स्टॉक या निश्चित आय वाले साधनों जैसी विविध परिसंपत्तियों में निवेश करने पर विचार करें। इन निवेशों में लंबी अवधि में उच्च रिटर्न उत्पन्न करने की क्षमता है।

6. वित्तीय सलाहकार से परामर्श करें: किसी प्रमाणित वित्तीय योजनाकार (सीएफपी) से मार्गदर्शन लेना उचित है, जो आपकी वित्तीय स्थिति का समग्र रूप से आकलन कर सकता है और आपके लक्ष्यों, जोखिम सहनशीलता और निवेश क्षितिज के आधार पर व्यक्तिगत सलाह दे सकता है।

7. ऋण चुकौती को प्राथमिकता दें: जबकि निवेश करना आवश्यक है, अपने गृह ऋण जैसे उच्च लागत वाले ऋण को चुकाने को प्राथमिकता दें। ब्याज के बोझ को कम करने और ऋण अवधि को छोटा करने के लिए अपने ऋण के लिए आंशिक पूर्व भुगतान करने पर विचार करें।

8. नियमित रूप से अपने वित्त की समीक्षा करें: अपनी आय, व्यय, निवेश और ऋण दायित्वों पर नियमित रूप से नज़र रखें। यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि यह आपके विकसित लक्ष्यों और परिस्थितियों के साथ संरेखित है, समय-समय पर अपनी वित्तीय योजना की समीक्षा करें।

याद रखें, वित्तीय नियोजन एक गतिशील प्रक्रिया है जिसके लिए नियमित निगरानी और समायोजन की आवश्यकता होती है। सूचित निर्णय लेने और पेशेवर सलाह लेने से, आप अपने वित्तीय उद्देश्यों को प्राप्त करने की दिशा में काम कर सकते हैं।

Sir i ihv home loan 16 Laks emi 15k monthly salary 1 laks . Other income after monthly expenses from my wife business 50 k
Ans: You and your wife are managing your finances well. Having a home loan with stable income is good. With Rs. 1 lakh salary and Rs. 50,000 monthly surplus from your wife’s business, you are in a strong position to plan long-term wealth. Let me give you a full assessment of your situation and steps to move forward smartly.

  
Understanding Your Current Financial Position

Your EMI is Rs. 15,000 monthly for a Rs. 16 lakh home loan.

  

Your monthly salary is Rs. 1 lakh, which gives good monthly cash flow.

  

Your wife contributes Rs. 50,000 monthly after her business expenses.

  

You have a total monthly income of Rs. 1.5 lakhs.

  

This gives a strong foundation for financial growth and long-term planning.

  

Smart Loan Management Strategy

Rs. 15,000 EMI is only 10% of total family income.

  

This is within a safe EMI limit. Keep paying it on time.

  

Don’t rush to prepay the loan aggressively. Instead, invest surplus smartly.

  

Keep 2–3 months’ EMI as emergency backup in a liquid fund.

  

Build Emergency Reserve First

Your priority should be to save 6 months’ family expenses.

  

Keep this emergency money in a separate bank account or liquid mutual fund.

  

This gives peace of mind if income is delayed or an emergency comes.

  

Don’t mix emergency fund with your investments.

  

Build Protection with Insurance

Take a pure term life cover of 15 to 20 times your yearly income.

  

Choose a term policy only, not investment-cum-insurance plans.

  

Avoid endowment or ULIP policies. They give low returns.

  

Take a family floater health policy for Rs. 10 to 15 lakhs.

  

Also take a personal accidental insurance policy.

  

Savings and Investments – Smart Allocation

Your monthly savings potential is high. Use it with planning.

  

Allocate 40% of monthly savings in mutual fund SIPs.

  

Use regular funds through a Certified Financial Planner for guidance.

  

Don’t invest directly. Direct funds give no advice or human help.

  

Regular funds through certified planners give better discipline and performance.

  

Choose a mix of diversified flexi-cap, large-cap, and mid-cap funds.

  

Prefer actively managed mutual funds. They beat markets long-term.

  

Avoid index funds. Index funds copy market returns with no alpha.

  

Index funds don’t protect during market falls. Actively managed funds do.

  

PPF for Safe and Long-Term Goal

Invest some money in PPF for long-term goals like retirement.

  

PPF is safe, gives tax-free returns, and builds discipline.

  

Lock-in works as an advantage for retirement corpus.

  

Invest every year to get compounding benefit.

  

Child’s Future Planning (If You Have or Plan Children)

Start early planning for future education and marriage.

  

Use equity mutual funds for long-term growth needs.

  

Use SIPs in child’s name to build long-term corpus.

  

Tag each SIP with the goal name like “Daughter's College Fund”.

  

Don’t Ignore Retirement Planning

Begin investing for retirement from today. Don’t delay.

  

SIP in mutual funds + PPF + NPS is good mix.

  

NPS gives tax benefit and helps save for retirement.

  

Invest monthly to benefit from compounding effect.

  

Don’t stop SIPs even during market corrections.

  

Avoid Gold Chits and Risky Options

Gold chit funds are risky and unregulated.

  

Instead, invest in sovereign gold bonds or gold mutual funds.

  

They are safe, give interest, and are tax-friendly if held till maturity.

  

Be Careful With Lifestyle and Expenses

Monitor your monthly spending. Track online purchases like Amazon bills.

  

Avoid using credit cards for EMI or unnecessary shopping.

  

Keep personal expenses within 20% of income.

  

Create a monthly budget and review it monthly.

  

Don’t Chase Fancy Investment Schemes

Don’t invest in Ponzi schemes or unknown chit funds.

  

Don’t fall for schemes promising fixed high returns.

  

Stick to tested options with long history like mutual funds, PPF.

  

Avoid investments without proper documentation and transparency.

  

Estate and Will Planning

Prepare a basic will to name your dependents as nominees.

  

Update all nominations in mutual funds, insurance, and bank accounts.

  

This avoids family disputes and smooths financial transition.

  

Tax Planning Tips

Use Section 80C for PPF, ELSS, and life insurance.

  

NPS gives extra Rs. 50,000 deduction under 80CCD(1B).

  

Use health insurance to claim under Section 80D.

  

Take help from a Chartered Accountant if taxes are complex.

  

Keep Financial Records Properly

Maintain separate folders for insurance, mutual funds, PPF, loans.

  

Store soft copies and passwords safely.

  

Share the location of these records with your spouse.

  

This ensures peace of mind during any emergency.

  

Investing Should Be Goal-Based

Don’t invest blindly. Link each investment to a specific goal.

  

Short-term goals: use liquid or short-term funds.

  

Medium goals: use hybrid funds or balanced advantage funds.

  

Long-term goals: use diversified equity funds and PPF.

  

MF Taxation Updates to Know

Equity fund gains above Rs. 1.25 lakh are taxed at 12.5% LTCG.

  

STCG on equity is now taxed at 20%.

  

Debt fund gains are taxed as per your income slab.

  

File taxes properly to avoid notices later.

  

Systematic Investment Review Is Must

Review SIPs every year with your planner.

  

Rebalance your portfolio if one type of fund grows too much.

  

Avoid switching funds often. Stick to plan for long term.

  

Don’t stop SIPs during market dips. Stay consistent.

  

Reinvest Any Windfall Wisely

If you receive bonus or gifts, don’t spend all.

  

Put them in your emergency fund or increase your SIPs.

  

Build wealth slowly and steadily. Avoid shortcuts.

  

Plan for Future Life Milestones

Save for child’s birth, education, your retirement, and family medical needs.

  

Review your goals every year and adjust investments accordingly.

  

Don’t follow friends blindly. Your goals are different.

  

Finally

You are already ahead by having home loan and family income of Rs. 1.5 lakh.

  

You have manageable EMI and a good monthly surplus.

  

Create a written financial plan with proper goals.

  

Avoid emotional investments. Focus on logic and long-term growth.

  

Stay patient. Wealth grows slow, not overnight.

  

Work with a Certified Financial Planner to guide and monitor progress.

  

You will reach your goals with discipline and clear direction.

Mutual Funds, Financial Planning Expert - Answered on May 16, 2025

Money
I have a Home Loan of Rs. 75 lakh outstanding and being a banker I get the Home Loan at concessional rate of 6% on simple interest basis. I have certain disposable income every month. Is it advisable to prepay the loans on monthly basis or utilize the disposable income towards other investment options?
Ans: You have a Rs. 75 lakh home loan.
You pay only 6% simple interest as a banker.
You also have disposable income each month.
Let’s now assess your situation from all angles.

Understanding the Advantage of Low Interest

Your loan is at just 6% simple interest.

This is a rare and low-cost loan benefit.

The interest amount does not compound yearly.

So your interest cost stays predictable and steady.

You already save more compared to normal borrowers.

Regular loans are at 9% to 11% with compound interest.

Let Your Money Work Harder Through Investing

Good mutual fund investments give 11% to 13% average return long term.

This return is higher than your 6% loan cost.

So your surplus funds can grow faster if invested.

This strategy builds your wealth efficiently over time.

Compounding in mutual funds works in your favour.

Reviewing Tax Savings from Loan Interest

Your loan interest gives you tax benefit under Section 24.

You can claim up to Rs. 2 lakh deduction yearly.

This lowers your income tax burden.

Prepaying the loan reduces future tax savings.

Investments like ELSS and PPF also save taxes separately.

Liquidity Is Key for Financial Confidence

Prepaying a loan reduces your cash flexibility.

But investments offer you liquidity when needed.

Financial emergencies need access to cash fast.

Mutual funds can be redeemed when required.

Don’t put all your surplus in loan prepayment.

Peace of Mind vs. Smart Wealth Building

Some people feel peace when loans are closed early.

It reduces psychological burden and improves sleep.

But low-interest loans are better kept and managed.

You can earn more on surplus money through investing.

Debt is not always bad when it’s manageable.

Balanced Strategy Is the Best Choice

Don’t choose only one route—balance is better.

Split your monthly surplus into two parts.

Use one part to invest in long-term growth plans.

Use the other part for partial prepayments once in a while.

This approach reduces debt and builds wealth together.

What You Should Do Now

Make sure you keep emergency savings of at least 6 months’ expenses.

Review your insurance and make sure your family is protected.

If you have LIC, ULIP or insurance-based investments, assess if they are worth holding.

If they underperform, consider surrendering and reinvesting into mutual funds.

Choose actively managed mutual funds via a Certified Financial Planner.

Avoid direct mutual funds if you are not monitoring regularly.

Regular mutual funds via a qualified CFP give you guidance and support.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Don’t rush to become loan-free if loan is cheap.

Don’t ignore inflation and real return comparisons.

Don’t ignore wealth-building just to avoid loan.

Don’t stop investing for the sake of loan closure.

Don’t go for low-return instruments only for safety.

Other Pointers to Remember

Make sure your investments match your goals.

Consider children’s education and retirement goals.

Equity mutual funds are good for goals beyond 7 years.

Hybrid mutual funds suit medium-term goals like 3 to 5 years.

For short-term use, opt for liquid or ultra short-term funds.

Track your goals and adjust asset allocation regularly.

Taxation of Mutual Fund Gains

Long-term capital gains above Rs. 1.25 lakh are taxed at 12.5%.

Short-term gains are taxed at 20%.

For debt funds, both LTCG and STCG are taxed as per your tax slab.

These taxes are payable only when you sell the units.

So your money grows without yearly tax deductions.

Avoid Index Funds and Direct Plans

Index funds don’t give alpha or outperformance.

They follow the market but don’t beat it.

In tough markets, they fall without support.

Active funds are managed by experienced fund managers.

Direct plans lack professional support and review.

With regular plans through a CFP, you get full handholding.

Finally

Your concessional loan is a blessing. Keep using it.

Use your disposable income to create long-term wealth.

A good plan includes both investment and prepayment.

Invest for your future. Don’t just avoid loans.

Stay liquid, stay insured, and invest smartly with professional help.

Review this plan every 6 to 12 months with a Certified Financial Planner.

Build a clear plan for family goals and retirement readiness.

Money
Hi Sir, I am 47 year old with 3 kids aged 11 yr dayghter and twin sons aged 6 years. I have around. I want to retire in 3 years due to health issues. After retirement me and wife will work part time and around monthly 1 lakh combined. I have monthly expenses if around 2 lakhs now. Please advise what corpus i should have to able to retire in 3 years
Ans: You are 47 years old. You have a daughter aged 11 and twin sons aged 6. You plan to retire in 3 years due to health issues. After retirement, you and your wife will earn around Rs. 1 lakh per month from part-time work. Your current family monthly expense is around Rs. 2 lakhs.

Your situation is serious and needs careful planning. I appreciate that you are thinking well in advance. Let us look at your situation in full detail now.

Assessing Your Retirement Timeline
You want to retire at 50. That’s 3 years from now.

That gives limited time to build a full retirement corpus.

After that, you and your wife plan to earn Rs. 1 lakh per month together.

Your expenses are Rs. 2 lakh per month now. This will rise with inflation.

So, you need to fill the gap of at least Rs. 1 lakh per month post-retirement.

That gap will also grow each year due to inflation.

You also have three children. Their education and future needs must be planned.

With three young kids, your financial responsibility will last for the next 15 to 20 years.

Understanding the Expense Gap
Your expenses are Rs. 2 lakh monthly now. This is Rs. 24 lakh annually.

After retirement, part-time income will cover Rs. 1 lakh monthly.

You need Rs. 1 lakh more every month from your savings.

That’s Rs. 12 lakh per year. But this amount will grow with inflation.

In 10 years, this could easily be around Rs. 20 lakh a year or more.

In 20 years, it can be around Rs. 35 lakh or more annually.

So, your retirement corpus must be big enough to cover this rising gap.

It should also last at least 30 years, as both you and your wife may live till 80 or more.

What Should Be Your Retirement Corpus
To cover Rs. 1 lakh monthly shortfall, you need a strong investment base.

That base should grow and generate income for 30 years.

You also need to plan for children’s schooling, college, and marriage.

So, your total retirement corpus should be built with multiple goals in mind.

You may need at least Rs. 6 crore to Rs. 7 crore total corpus by age 50.

This will help you cover your lifestyle gap and also children’s future needs.

The final amount will depend on inflation, market returns, and disciplined investing.

Breaking Down Your Future Expenses
1. Lifestyle Needs

You need Rs. 2 lakh monthly today. This will rise.

After retirement, inflation will push this to Rs. 3.5 lakh to Rs. 4 lakh in 15 years.

That means higher withdrawals every year.

2. Children’s Education

Your daughter will go to college in 6 years.

Your twin sons will go to college in 11 to 12 years.

Education inflation is very high, around 8% to 10% yearly.

Private college and higher studies can cost Rs. 50 lakh to Rs. 1 crore in future.

3. Health and Medical Needs

Health issues are already a concern. Medical costs rise fast.

A single hospitalisation in the future can cost Rs. 15 lakh or more.

You must keep a separate medical emergency fund.

4. Travel, Leisure, and Emergencies

Retirement is not just about needs. It should also include wants.

You may want to travel or support family in emergencies.

Keep a buffer for these lifestyle goals.

Creating a 3-Bucket Investment Strategy
Bucket 1: Emergency and Medical Fund

Keep 12 to 18 months of expenses in this bucket.

That means Rs. 25 lakh to Rs. 30 lakh in liquid funds.

This bucket should not be touched for regular income.

Use it for medical, health, and sudden family needs.

Bucket 2: Income and Safety Bucket

This gives regular income after retirement.

Invest here in low-risk and balanced funds.

This bucket must cover 8 to 10 years of shortfall.

It must be reviewed every year and rebalanced.

Withdraw monthly through SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan).

Bucket 3: Growth Bucket

This is for long-term income.

It must stay invested for the next 10 to 15 years.

Use only actively managed equity mutual funds.

Don’t invest in index funds. They follow the market and offer no safety in a fall.

Actively managed funds are better for retirement. They reduce risk and give better return with guidance.

This bucket will support your income in the later years of retirement.

Additional Planning Tips for a Complete Strategy
1. Insurance Review

Check your health insurance. Buy a super top-up if possible.

If you have any traditional policies like LIC endowments or ULIPs, evaluate surrendering them.

Reinvest that money in mutual funds via Certified Financial Planner.

2. Avoid Index and Direct Funds

Index funds are unmanaged. They don’t protect you in a downturn.

Direct funds have no advisor support. You may exit at the wrong time.

Invest through regular mutual funds with Certified Financial Planner.

You get discipline, emotional support, and regular reviews.

3. Tax Planning

After retirement, plan all withdrawals smartly.

Equity mutual fund LTCG above Rs. 1.25 lakh is taxed at 12.5%.

STCG is taxed at 20%.

Debt mutual fund gains are taxed as per your income tax slab.

Plan withdrawals in phases to manage tax.

Use SWP instead of lump sum withdrawal.

4. Estate Planning

Write a clear Will. Register it if possible.

Add nominations to all financial accounts and investments.

Discuss with your wife about all assets and accounts.

Educate your children slowly about financial basics.

5. Spending Discipline

After retirement, control lifestyle inflation.

Avoid overspending in early years.

Keep budgets for kids' education, personal care, and travel.

Review expenses every quarter.

Talk to your wife and plan joint financial goals.

How to Reach Rs. 6–7 Crore in 3 Years
This is a very short time.

You must save aggressively now.

Cut all unwanted expenses.

Increase monthly investments to the maximum.

Invest only in actively managed equity mutual funds through regular route.

Don’t keep too much in savings or FDs.

Avoid real estate as it is illiquid and low-return.

Rebalance investments every year with the help of Certified Financial Planner.

Finally
You have only 3 years to build your corpus.

You also have a big responsibility of three children.

You will work part time after retirement, which gives some cash flow.

But you must plan very carefully and very thoroughly.

Create three investment buckets to manage needs properly.

Use only actively managed mutual funds, not index or direct funds.

Avoid risky shortcuts and always review plans every year.

With health concerns and young kids, long-term planning is critical.

Your retirement is not the end of income. It is the beginning of financial wisdom.

Till now i have no savings in whatever form it is Iam unmarried
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;

Hi Ashwini, I am a 29 yr old marketing executive, and I tend to take negative feedback very personally, even when it's constructive. For example, last month, my manager said my presentation was all over the place and lacked clarity. Though she meant it to help me improve, I kept replaying it in my mind for days and started doubting my abilities.
Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

As humans we bound to overthink and question back and self-doubt. It's important to process the emotions then accumulating.

Try this the next time you feel negative-

Firstly, negativity or any feeling is just an emotion and every emotion is giving you feedback so that you can take can action. So, it works like a feedback mechanism.
Now, in the above situation where your manager said the presentation was all over the place or lacked clarity- it meant you should present the same from his perspective or from the audience’s perspective. As the person who is going to see the presentation should be able to understand and be in the same alignment as you are.

Have a discussion with your manager and ask where all did, he/she feels the presentation lacked clarity, ask what else you should have looked at to make it more valuable etc.

Once you get the feedback go back to the presentation and relook from his/ her perspective now then possibly that would make sense to you.

Idea is to process the information and see how you can make it better. Self-doubt is ok to have as it will help you relook but if you are sulking in that emotion, it will spiral down which is what happens most often. So, the next time when you get negative feedback look at from a perspective of working on yourself to be even better.

If you were not good then you wouldn't be in that job in first place. Remember that.

Thanks
Ashwini
