my net monthly income is 216000 after tax, total loan I have Rs 75 lac, loan breakup home loan 46 lac, personal loan 28 lac, credit card os 11 lac. suggest how to be debt free in next 6 years.
Ans: Step 1: Know Your Monthly Debt Capacity
Assuming you can allocate 50–55% of your income toward debt repayment:
• ?1.08–1.18 lakh/month is your target EMI budget.
Step 2: Prioritize High-Interest Debt First
Credit card and personal loans typically carry 15–36% interest, while home loans are around 8–9%. So:
1. Credit Card (?11L) – Pay this off first.
2. Personal Loan (?28L) – Next priority.
3. Home Loan (?46L) – Last, since it’s lower cost and offers tax benefits.
Step 3: Consider Consolidation
You could explore:
• Debt consolidation loans to combine credit card + personal loan into one lower-interest EMI.
• Balance transfer for credit cards to reduce interest temporarily.
• Platforms like FREED, SingleDebt, or Debt Relief India offer structured debt management plans.
Step 4: 6-Year Repayment Plan (Illustrative)
Loan Type Amount (?L) Target Tenure Monthly EMI (approx)
Credit Card 11 1 year ?1.0–1.1 lakh
Personal Loan 28 3 years ?0.9–1.0 lakh
Home Loan 46 6 years ?0.8–0.9 lakh
You can snowball payments—once one loan is cleared, roll that EMI into the next.
Tips to Accelerate
• Bonus or incentives? Use 70–80% toward debt.
• Cut lifestyle inflation—track expenses ruthlessly.
• Avoid new debt unless it’s strategic (e.g., refinancing).
• Automate EMIs to avoid late fees and improve credit score.

I have inherited shares from my father, who bought them at various points over the years. I do not have the exact cost of purchase of these shares. How do I determine the cost of acquisition for paying IT
Ans: When you inherit shares, the cost of acquisition for tax purposes is determined based on the price at which your father originally purchased them. Here’s how you can approach it:
- Use the Original Purchase Price: The cost of acquisition is the price at which your father bought the shares. If you don’t have records, try checking old brokerage statements, demat account records, or consulting the broker he used.
- Fair Market Value (FMV) Method:
- If the shares were acquired before April 1, 2001, you can take the FMV as of April 1, 2001 as the cost of acquisition.
- If the shares were listed on a stock exchange and held on January 31, 2018, and sold after March 31, 2018, the FMV as of January 31, 2018, can be considered as the cost of acquisition.
- Bonus Shares: If your father received bonus shares, their cost is considered zero for capital gains calculation.
- Holding Period: The holding period includes the time your father held the shares, which helps determine whether the gains are short-term (held for ≤12 months) or long-term (held for >12 months).
- Tax Treatment:
- Long-term capital gains (LTCG) on listed shares exceeding ?1 lakh are taxed at 10% without indexation.
- Short-term capital gains (STCG) are taxed at 15%.
If you don’t have access to purchase records, you may need to estimate the FMV based on historical stock prices or consult a tax expert for guidance.

Hi, I am 33 yr old working in a private ltd company having a package of 13LPA. I have seen a very tough childhood with lot of financial pressure. Never indulged in any kind of luxury or hobbies. After getting job, tried to fulfill some dreams of my parents. Made some tours, bought an apartment and married my loved one. After that, suddenly both my parents got major medical issue. Heart attack and Cancer. I have made them cure completely and both of them now ok. After all that I had a debt of 40L in 2023 and I was puzzled, how to repay them. Then the worst thing happened, with social media influence I took some more loan and traded in F&O and lost another 15L. Now my total debt is 60L - 20L HL, 20L PL. 5L GL and 15L CC outstanding. I am the single bread earner for 5 persons. I am helpless. Please help me. I am a really dedicated employee and very hard working.
Ans: Let’s approach this in phases, like a strategy to reclaim your peace and your finances:

Phase 1: Stabilize and Stop the Bleeding
- Stop any further trading or taking on new loans — this may already be clear to you now, but your awareness and admission show that you’ve learned from it.
- Prioritize debts by urgency and interest rates:
- Credit card (15L) – likely highest interest, needs urgent attention.
- Gold loan (5L) – usually short-term, with moderate rates. Negotiate rollover if needed.
- Personal loan (20L) – medium-term priority.
- Home loan (20L) – lowest priority; keep EMIs running if possible.
- Talk to lenders now. Many offer restructuring under RBI guidelines:
- Convert CC or PL into longer-term loans with lower EMIs.
- Ask about moratorium or partial payments.
- Use the term "financial hardship due to medical emergency"—many lenders will respond better when it’s health-related.

Phase 2: Budget Like a Warrior
You earn ?13L per year (~?80K/month in hand post-tax & PF). The goal is to reduce EMIs to ~?40-45K/month if possible, leaving you enough to survive and breathe.
- Draft a no-frills survival budget—cut down discretionary expenses to zero for 12 months.
- Consider staying with extended family (if possible) to reduce rent or utility pressure.
- Free apps like Walnut or Cube Wealth can help you track and trim with precision.

Phase 3: Explore Boosters
- Secondary Income: With your skill set and dedication, explore freelance remote projects. Just 5–10K/month can be a massive psychological win and financial relief.
- Government Schemes: If your parents are now senior citizens, explore Ayushman Bharat or state-level health subsidies to avoid future shocks.

And finally—your mindset
This situation is brutal, yes. But temporary. You’ve survived the worst—health emergencies, emotional betrayal by social media influencers, and financial collapse. You’ve already paid the cost of those mistakes. You don’t owe them another ounce of your peace or self-worth.
You’re not the guy who failed with F&O trades.
You’re the guy who fought cancer and heart attacks and won.
