शुक्रिया अनु, मेरे सामने एक और चुनौती है। उसका काम अभी भी बहुत शुरुआती चरण में है। हमने उसके विकास के लिए साथ मिलकर काम किया, मैंने उसे आरामदेह जगह दिलाने के लिए काम पर संघर्ष किया। हम अभी भी ऐसे प्रोजेक्ट पर काम कर रहे हैं, जहाँ हमें साथ मिलकर काम करने की ज़रूरत है। मैंने पहले ही वादा किया था कि मैं तुम्हारे प्रोजेक्ट के लिए वहाँ रहूँगी और मदद करूँगी। साथ ही, यह और भी मुश्किल है क्योंकि उसके माता-पिता निजी जीवन में कुछ चीज़ों में मेरी मदद करते हैं। मैं उसे अपने जीवन से बाहर नहीं निकाल पा रही हूँ, लेकिन दिमागी खेल के कारण मैं उसके साथ नहीं रह पा रही हूँ। मुझे इससे कैसे निपटना चाहिए? जिस प्रोजेक्ट पर वह काम कर रहा है, वह करियर बनाने वाला काम है, मेरा विचार और मेरी कड़ी मेहनत...मैंने उसे यह सोचकर दिया कि इससे उसे खुद को स्थापित करने में मदद मिलेगी। वह कहता रहता है कि हम दोस्त हैं और हम अभी भी साथ मिलकर काम कर सकते हैं। लेकिन मैं अपनी चिंता और आसक्ति से बाहर नहीं निकल पा रही हूँ। कृपया मार्गदर्शन करें! शुक्रिया

Ans: प्रिय अनाम,
'दोस्त होने' की यह बात तभी संभव है जब भावनाएँ पूरी तरह से खत्म हो गई हों...
अपने काम के लिए, उसके साथ काम करते समय सख्त पेशेवर और व्यक्तिगत सीमाएँ बनाए रखें और उसके माता-पिता के लिए; जितना अधिक आप उससे जुड़ी चीज़ों से जुड़ेंगे, आपके लिए आगे बढ़ना उतना ही मुश्किल होगा...
अब, क्या आपका कोई हिस्सा अभी भी उससे जुड़ा हुआ है? यदि हाँ, तो आप इस जुड़ाव और लगाव के माध्यम से इस चिंता को आमंत्रित कर रहे हैं।
इसलिए, स्पष्ट रहें कि आप क्या चाहते हैं और अपने मन की जगह का ख्याल रखना महत्वपूर्ण है अन्यथा आप खुद के साथ खेल खेलेंगे और वह सोचेगा कि 'दोस्त होने' का क्षेत्र खुश और आरामदायक है।

शुभकामनाएँ!

प्रिय एलजी, कृपया इसे गुमनाम रखें। मेरी शादी को 6 साल हो चुके हैं। हालाँकि, पिछले 5+ सालों से हम अंतरंग नहीं हुए हैं। हमारा एक 5&1/2 साल का बच्चा है। उसके जन्म के बाद से ही हमारे बीच बहुत मतभेद रहे हैं और उसके परिवार का हस्तक्षेप बहुत ज़्यादा था, जिससे मैं अकेली और आहत हो गई थी। तब से मैं अपने पति और ससुराल वालों के साथ नहीं रहती। मैंने यह मान लिया था कि काम ही पूजा है। लेकिन 2 साल पहले मेरी मुलाक़ात एक सहकर्मी से हुई। वह मुझसे 10 साल छोटा है और हमारे बीच काफ़ी समानताएँ हैं। हम एक-दूसरे की संगति का आनंद लेते हैं और एक-दूसरे की बहुत परवाह करते हैं। आखिरकार मुझे उससे प्यार हो गया। लेकिन उसे हमेशा से पता था कि वह अपने परिवार के खिलाफ़ नहीं जा सकता। हमारे बीच संबंध भी थे। अब उसने लड़कियों की तलाश शुरू कर दी है और चाहता है कि हम अंतरंग होना बंद कर दें। वह कह रहा है कि वह दोस्त बनना चाहता है और मुझे खोना नहीं चाहता, लेकिन संबंध नहीं बनाना चाहता। हम दोनों एक ही जगह पर साथ काम करते हैं और हमारा कार्यक्षेत्र भी एक ही है। मैं अपने पति को माफ़ नहीं कर पा रही हूँ और इस व्यक्ति को भूल नहीं पा रही हूँ। वह कभी दूर नहीं जाता। वह हमेशा कहता रहता है कि मैं तुम्हें खुश देखना चाहता हूँ। उसे पेशेवर विकास के लिए मेरी ज़रूरत है। और मैं अपने रिश्ते को खो नहीं सकता। वह कहता है कि मैं सिर्फ़ शारीरिक अंतरंगता के लिए ही रह सकता हूँ। मैं वहाँ हूँ। फिर वह फिर कहता है कि मुझे नहीं पता कि मैं कब वहाँ रहूँगा, इसलिए मैं आश्वासन या वादा देने में असमर्थ हूँ। मैं एक बच्चे, काम और अपने स्वास्थ्य को लेकर परेशान हूँ। क्या आप कृपया मदद कर सकते हैं?
Ans: प्रिय अनाम,

मुझे खेद है कि आप इतनी मुश्किल स्थिति में हैं। मेरी सलाह है कि आप आगे बढ़ें। हाँ, मुझे पता है कि यह कहना आसान है, लेकिन आइए चीजों को परिप्रेक्ष्य में रखें- सबसे पहले, इस आदमी के साथ आपका कोई भविष्य नहीं है, और उसने यह स्पष्ट कर दिया है। क्या आप उसके साथ रहना ठीक समझती हैं, जबकि वह अपना जीवन खुद बना रहा है? मैं मान रहा हूँ कि नहीं, खासकर जब से आपका एक बच्चा है। दूसरा, आपके आत्म-सम्मान का क्या? वह सीधे आपको बता रहा है कि यह रिश्ता एक मृत अंत की ओर बढ़ रहा है। क्या आपको लगता है कि आप किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति के साथ रहने के लायक हैं जो आपके साथ घर बसाना नहीं चाहता? मुझे लगता है कि आप इससे बेहतर के हकदार हैं।

मैं उसे दोष नहीं दे रहा हूँ क्योंकि उसने कोई वादा नहीं किया। आपको भी दोषी नहीं ठहराया जाना चाहिए क्योंकि आप मुश्किल स्थिति में थीं और आपने पहला भावनात्मक सहारा पा लिया। लेकिन वर्तमान वास्तविकता यह है कि वह बाहर निकलना चाहता है। और उसे रहने के लिए मनाना कोई विकल्प नहीं है। इस बिंदु पर, अपने सिर को ऊंचा रखते हुए आगे बढ़ना सबसे अच्छा निर्णय है। यदि आप उसकी दोस्ती को स्वीकार करना चाहते हैं, तो यह पूरी तरह से ठीक है। लेकिन अगर यह आपके लिए बहुत ज़्यादा है, तो आप इसे हमेशा अस्वीकार कर सकते हैं। मैं समझता हूँ कि अपने पूर्व साथी के साथ एक ही जगह पर काम करना मुश्किल है, लेकिन जब तक आप ऑफ़िस के बाहर बातचीत करने से बचते हैं और चीज़ों को पेशेवर बनाए रखते हैं, तब तक कोई समस्या नहीं होनी चाहिए। भावनात्मक मोर्चे पर, मैं झूठ नहीं बोलूँगा, यह कुछ समय के लिए दुख देगा। लेकिन यह भी बीत जाएगा। मैं दृढ़ता से आपको सलाह देता हूँ कि आप खुद को इतना कम न आंकें कि आप यह मानना ​​बंद कर दें कि आप एक ऐसे व्यक्ति के लायक हैं जो आपको उतना ही प्यार करता है जितना आप उससे करते हैं।

शुभकामनाएँ।

Mutual Funds, Financial Planning Expert - Answered on Jun 02, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Jun 01, 2025
Money
Dear Sir, 1)I am 40 yrs old working for CPSU.Post deduction of monthly CPF + VPF contribution 39000/- ( Corpus: 80 Lacs) & NPS : 28900 (Corpus : 18 Lacs). I have in hand salary of 1 Lac per month. 2) PPF investment - 1.5 Lacs( Corpus: 14 Lacs).Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana- 1.5 Lacs 3)Monthly Investment in MFs is 35000/- (PPFAS: 10000/-, Axis Blue Chip: 5000/-;ICICI Prudential Nifty 50: 5000/-; PGIM Large and Mid Cap direct growth:5000/-; Quant MID Cap & Small Cap: 5000/- each )with corpus 10.5 lacs. 4)Equity Shares worth 18 lacs. Equity SIP: 20000/- Per Month 5)I have taken Home loan on 50 lacs with repayment period of 20 yrs, EMI approx: 37000/-. 6) LIC Policies Annual Premium: 1.7 Lacs 7) I have Post retirement benefit scheme corpus of 48 Lacs 8)I want to repay the Home in 15 yrs. I have miscellaneous expenses of about 7000/- PM.please suggest the ways to pay the loan early and build corpus of 8 crore at 60 yrs age.
Ans: You have built a solid base with multiple income streams and disciplined investing.

At 40, you are in a strong position to create a secure and abundant retirement corpus.

Your goals are clear:

Repay your home loan in 15 years instead of 20.

Build Rs. 8 crore corpus by age 60.

This plan needs structured action and disciplined execution. Let’s assess everything carefully from a 360-degree view.

Salary and Cash Flow – A Good Start
Your in-hand salary is Rs. 1 lakh per month.

After Rs. 39,000 CPF + VPF and Rs. 28,900 NPS deduction, you save a big portion.

You are already investing Rs. 35,000 in mutual funds.

Equity SIP of Rs. 20,000 shows higher risk appetite.

Miscellaneous expense of Rs. 7,000 is low and controlled.

Overall, your income-to-expense ratio is strong.

There is good scope for maximising returns and building wealth faster.

Home Loan – Strategy to Close in 15 Years
EMI of Rs. 37,000 on Rs. 50 lakh loan is well within limits.

Goal: Close this loan 5 years earlier without stress.

First, increase EMI gradually every year by 5-10%.

Use annual bonuses or salary increments to make part-prepayments.

Even Rs. 1 lakh extra per year can reduce term by 3-4 years.

Review loan structure with lender once in 3 years to get best rate.

Do not stop SIPs or equity investment for loan closure. Balance both together.

LIC Policies – Immediate Assessment Needed
You pay Rs. 1.7 lakhs yearly as LIC premium.

These are investment cum insurance plans.

These offer low returns and poor liquidity.

Surrender policies and reinvest money into mutual funds for better growth.

Get a simple term insurance of Rs. 1 crore for family safety.

This will reduce premium cost and improve overall wealth creation.

This one decision alone can add lakhs to your final corpus.

Direct Mutual Funds – Not the Right Choice
You are investing through direct plans in some mutual funds.

This looks cost-saving but can become risky in long term.

Direct funds do not offer any ongoing guidance.

Market changes are frequent. Without advice, you may exit or switch wrongly.

Wrong timing can damage your entire portfolio.

A Certified Financial Planner with MFD code gives portfolio strategy.

Regular fund investments give peace of mind and better asset allocation.

Charges are marginal but value is high.

Please shift your funds to regular plans through an MFD having CFP credentials.

Index Fund Exposure – Needs Reevaluation
You are investing in Nifty 50-based index fund.

Index funds are low-cost but not always right.

They follow the market passively.

No option to reduce exposure in weak sectors.

No active strategy during corrections or crashes.

Actively managed funds perform better in Indian market conditions.

They provide risk-adjusted returns with more flexibility.

Certified Financial Planners can help select best actively managed schemes.

Avoid depending on index funds for long-term goals.

Your Existing Investment Mix – Analysis
Your investments are well diversified across multiple asset classes.

Let us evaluate one by one:

CPF + VPF Corpus – Rs. 80 lakhs

Very stable and safe.

Good for post-retirement pension-like benefit.

No changes needed.

NPS Corpus – Rs. 18 lakhs

Another strong pillar for retirement.

Tax-efficient and low-cost.

Suggest keeping equity allocation at 50%-60%.

PPF Corpus – Rs. 14 lakhs

Excellent for safe long-term returns.

Tax-free and fixed interest.

Continue till maturity.

Sukanya Samriddhi – Rs. 1.5 lakhs/year

Good for daughter’s education or marriage goals.

Stay invested till maturity.

Mutual Fund SIPs – Rs. 35,000/month

Right asset for long-term wealth creation.

Some funds may need rebalancing.

Mid-cap and small-cap should not cross 30% of portfolio.

Equity Shares – Rs. 18 lakhs

Good wealth-building asset.

High risk, but can deliver higher returns.

Do annual review with a Certified Financial Planner.

Target Rs. 8 Crore at 60 – What You Need to Do
You are now 40 years old.

You have 20 years to build Rs. 8 crore.

Let us look at possible actions:

Continue current SIPs of Rs. 35,000 monthly.

Increase this by 10% every year.

Shift direct funds to regular funds.

Rebalance mid-cap/small-cap exposure to keep risk moderate.

Reinvest LIC surrender value in long-term equity mutual funds.

Keep NPS equity allocation between 50%-60%.

Avoid index funds. Choose high quality actively managed funds.

Use Certified Financial Planner for long-term monitoring.

With this discipline, your Rs. 8 crore goal is very realistic.

Insurance – Only Term Plan is Enough
You are spending Rs. 1.7 lakhs yearly on LIC.

These policies mix insurance with investment.

Returns are around 4%-5% only.

Do this instead:

Surrender LIC policies after checking surrender value.

Buy a pure term insurance of Rs. 1 crore.

Annual premium will be around Rs. 15,000 only.

Invest balance Rs. 1.55 lakhs in equity mutual funds.

This will protect family and create higher wealth.

Tax Planning – Ensure You Don’t Overlap Sections
You are contributing to PPF, CPF, NPS, Sukanya.

All these are eligible under Section 80C and 80CCD(1B).

Ensure not to exceed maximum allowed limits.

Use balance funds for equity mutual funds or debt funds.

Emergency Fund and Short-Term Goals
Maintain 6 months’ expenses in a liquid fund.

Do not mix emergency fund with investments.

Plan separately for near-term goals like car, vacation, etc.

Use short-term debt funds for such goals.

Portfolio Rebalancing – Do it Yearly
Every 12 months, review and rebalance your portfolio.

Reduce exposure in overgrown asset classes.

Adjust between large-cap, mid-cap, and debt.

Track performance with support of Certified Financial Planner.

Exit poor performers and reallocate.

This keeps your goal aligned and risk under control.

Final Insights
You are already on a strong foundation at age 40.

Your income is good, savings rate is healthy, and investments are well spread.

But a few corrections are needed to maximise outcomes.

Shift LIC policies to equity mutual funds.

Avoid direct and index funds.

Work with a Certified Financial Planner for guidance.

Stay invested, increase SIPs yearly, and control unnecessary spending.

Your Rs. 8 crore goal is possible with this roadmap.

Stay focused, track yearly, and adapt as needed.

You are moving in the right direction.

Asked by Anonymous - Jun 02, 2025
Money
I took VRS from SBI in 2023 Due to some personal reasons, I have no loans now , drawing 54000/-pension and I have 40lakhs in FD , and I have RD of 15k monthly from my pension. Is there any option of getting another 50kmonthly if I invest my 40 lakhs
Ans: You have taken thoughtful steps so far. A stable pension, no loan burden, and Rs. 40 lakhs in fixed deposits give a strong base. Also, your Rs. 15,000 recurring deposit shows continued financial discipline.

You wish to generate Rs. 50,000 more per month. Let us evaluate this from all angles, giving you a complete and professional perspective.

Below is a detailed analysis and action plan.

Present Financial Position – A Quick Snapshot
Pension of Rs. 54,000 per month ensures stable monthly income.

No loan burden gives full flexibility for future planning.

Rs. 40 lakhs in fixed deposits is your main investment pool.

Rs. 15,000 monthly RD shows ongoing savings habit from pension income.

Goal: Create another Rs. 50,000 monthly income from Rs. 40 lakhs corpus.

This is a clear and achievable financial objective with the right strategy.

FD-Based Income: Limits and Challenges
Current FD interest rate is around 6.5% to 7.5%.

With Rs. 40 lakhs, monthly income from FD is about Rs. 22,000 to Rs. 25,000.

To reach Rs. 50,000/month, you will need much higher returns.

FD interest is fully taxable as per your tax slab.

Inflation can reduce real value of this income over time.

FD gives safety but not high income or growth.

Monthly Income Generation – Need for Balanced Investment
To reach Rs. 50,000 monthly income, your funds need better growth and efficiency.

You can consider a diversified plan combining stability and higher returns.

A balanced portfolio with Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWP) from mutual funds will work better.

Let us build this portfolio with simple and practical structure.

Suggested Investment Structure from Rs. 40 Lakhs
Invest Rs. 20 lakhs in debt mutual funds for stability and liquidity.

Invest Rs. 18 lakhs in equity-oriented hybrid mutual funds for growth and moderate risk.

Keep Rs. 2 lakhs in a savings bank or ultra-short-term fund for emergencies.

From the mutual funds, you can set up SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan).

It will allow monthly income while keeping principal relatively protected.

Why SWP from Mutual Funds is a Good Option
You can get monthly income like pension, from your investments.

Capital remains invested. Only chosen amount is withdrawn monthly.

It gives better control over taxation and liquidity.

You can stop, increase or reduce SWP any time.

If invested in hybrid and equity-oriented funds, returns are higher than FD.

Mutual Fund Category-wise Investment Purpose
Debt Mutual Funds (Rs. 20 lakhs):

These are less volatile than equity.

Suitable for regular income and lower risk.

Returns around 6.5% to 7.5% are possible.

Ideal for SWP of Rs. 15,000 per month.

Hybrid Mutual Funds (Rs. 18 lakhs):

These invest in both equity and debt.

They aim for balanced growth with moderate risk.

You can withdraw Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 35,000 monthly from this portion.

Over long-term, it protects against inflation better than FD.

Disadvantages of FDs in This Context
FD interest is taxed fully as per your slab.

No flexibility in income withdrawal timing.

Pre-mature exit reduces interest rate.

FD returns often fail to beat inflation in the long run.

For retirees needing monthly cash flow, SWP is more tax-efficient.

Monthly Income Plan Using SWP – Illustration
Rs. 15,000/month SWP from debt mutual fund.

Rs. 35,000/month SWP from hybrid mutual fund.

Total Rs. 50,000 per month income possible.

Equity portion helps capital grow and beat inflation.

Debt portion ensures stability and cash flow.

Taxation in Mutual Funds – New Rules (Important)
Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG) from equity above Rs. 1.25 lakhs is taxed at 12.5%.

Short-Term Capital Gain (STCG) from equity is taxed at 20%.

Debt fund gains (LTCG/STCG) taxed as per income slab.

SWP gives flexibility to manage tax better than FD or annuity.

Why You Must Avoid Annuities
Annuity returns are fixed and very low.

No growth in invested capital.

Entire income is taxable.

No liquidity or early withdrawal option.

Once locked, you cannot change or exit.

It is not suitable for someone like you who needs control and better returns.

Why Actively Managed Mutual Funds are Better Than Index Funds
Index funds blindly copy market index.

No flexibility during market correction or volatility.

Actively managed funds adapt to market changes.

Fund manager can shift money based on market cycle.

These often outperform index funds in India.

You get professional fund management and risk control.

Why Not to Choose Direct Funds
Direct funds have no advisor support.

You may not know when to switch or hold.

Wrong decision can cause major loss.

Regular funds through a Certified Financial Planner give long-term guidance.

You get regular review and goal tracking.

Peace of mind is worth the small extra expense.

Why Not Real Estate
You mentioned no interest, and rightly so.

Real estate needs high capital.

Low rental yield and poor liquidity.

Long legal and selling process.

Risk of maintenance and disputes.

Not suitable for regular income post-retirement.

360 Degree Plan: Other Steps You Must Consider
Review RD after 12 months. Re-invest in mutual fund SIP for growth.

Keep 6 months’ expenses in liquid fund for emergency.

Nomination and Will should be updated for all investments.

Keep health insurance valid. Don’t depend only on pension for medical.

Track mutual fund performance every 6 months with Certified Financial Planner.

Increase SWP every 2 years to fight inflation.

Don’t break FD fully at once. Convert slowly as mutual fund corpus grows.

Never invest full money at once in equity. Use staggered approach.

Final Insights
You have done a great job by retiring without any loans.

Pension, FDs and RD show strong foundation. You need better returns now.

Rs. 50,000 monthly income from Rs. 40 lakhs is possible with mutual fund SWP strategy.

This approach gives income, tax efficiency and capital growth together.

FDs and annuities limit flexibility and returns.

A diversified mutual fund portfolio is your best choice today.

Work with a Certified Financial Planner to track this plan.

They can guide review, rebalancing and risk control.

Don’t delay. The sooner you start, the better your income security will be.

This plan gives you peace, stability and freedom in retirement.
