Career

Hi Sir My son is in 8th standard and since younger age very knowledgeable and interested about space and astronomy. How to place him in the best organisations viz NASA., ISRO so he can continue what he loves and make a career at early age?

Ans: Hi Kapil.
Glad to hear about your son's interest in space and astronomy at an early age.
1) Provide him with good foundation books published by various publishers like MTG, Dinesh, Matrushri (Hyderabad) etc.
2) Ask him to appear for all types of olympiad examinations conducted at the school level.
3) Ask him to appear for Dr Homi Bhabha's 9th/10th standard examination.
4) Try to complete CBSE + ICSE + State board syllabus at each standard i.e. 8th, 9th and 10th
5) Visit the NASA and ISRO websites to learn more details, i.e., the process of joining them.
At last, keep a close eye on his performance at each state/examination. Always take proper and honest feedback from his teachers. Try to have his meeting with rankers.
In summer vacation, try to visit places like Nehru Planetarium (Mumbai), and Jantar-Mantar's located at Jaipur, Delhi, Varanasi, Ujjain, and Mathura which will open his eyes more. These places are well known from Astronomy point of view.

If you are not satisfied with the reply, pl ask again without any hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks

Dear experts, One of my cousin want to be a Astranaut in NASA, current he is studying in school and quite brilliant in studies. Can u suggest the process to be adopted.

Ans: That is a niche field that your cousin has chosen! To become an astronaut, you need to be the best of the best! I wonder if NASA is now a days taking in people of foreign origin into such classified programs. You can go on to the ISRO website too. As far as my knowledge goes, Astronauts are generally chosen from pilots or aerospace or aeronautical background. It is a difficult path that he has chosen and he needs to put in lots of efforts and studies for the same. All the best to him!

I have purchased a residential studio unit with home loan for 23 lacks in March 2022, I have got possession in May 2024 and in Aug2024 I have sold this unit to 31 lacks, What will be capital gain tax implications? Can I have claim Renovation, Maintenance, NOC charges (while selling) to be included while considering capital gain, can we reduce capital gain using those?, Where should i invest to save capital gain?

Ans: Date of possession will be considered as date of acquisition (May 24) so this will be short term capital gain as per your slab rate.

Improvement and transfer expenses may be deducted from your short term capital gain (8L) but do consult a CA to ascertain as to what is allowed as deductible as per IT laws

**Subject:** Request for Investment Review and Future Corpus Estimation Dear Mr.Sunil, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to review my current investment portfolio and seek your expert advice regarding the future growth potential, as I aim to build a corpus of at least INR 3 - 5 crores by the time my daughters turn 18 years old. Is this figure realizable? Here’s a breakdown of my current investments: 1. **Mirae Asset Large & Midcap Fund (Direct Growth)** – INR 5,000 monthly - Current value: INR 135,281 2. **Canara Robeco Small Cap Fund (Direct Growth)** – INR 10,000 monthly - Current value: INR 210,164 3. **Quant Small Cap Fund (Direct Plan Growth)** – INR 5,000 monthly - Just started; current value: INR 5,190 4. **ICICI Prudential Balanced Advantage Fund (Growth)** – INR 20,000 monthly - Current value: INR 583,113 5. **HDFC Balanced Advantage Fund (Growth)** – INR 15,000 monthly - Current value: INR 503,604 6. **SBI Balanced Advantage Fund (Regular Growth)** – INR 15,000 monthly - Current value: INR 321,491 7. **Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY)** – INR 50,000 annually for my 9-year-old daughter - Current value: INR 565,805 (since 2016) 8. **Provident Fund (PF)** – Current balance: INR 10 lakh 9. **Tata AIA Life Insurance Fortune Pro ** – Started last year INR 150,000 to be paid for 5 years till 2027 10. SBI Child Plan Smart Scholar - Completed INR 500,000 Total Investment for 5 Years in 2024. From this year every financial year I plan to invest my working bonus of INR 3 Lacs to INR 5 Lacs every year as a bulk investment and diversify in different funds. I am 46 years old and plan to continue working and investing for another 5 to 6 years due to health reasons. My spouse is 37, and we have two daughters aged 9 and 5. My goal is to accumulate a corpus of at least INR 3 to 5 crores by the time my daughters reach 18 years of age. Based on my current investments, do you think this target is achievable within the given timeframe? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or adjustments you might recommend to help reach this goal. Thank you for your guidance.

Ans: Yes your target is achievable in the given time frame.(13% conservative return assumed). I am sure you have planned for some regular income after you stop working(~6 years from now) to meet the regular expenses. Please make sure you have good family floater health insurance apart from employer's group health policy if any. Insurers typically insist 3-4 years of continuous coverage after which pre existing illnesses are covered. Consider investing in SSY in the name of second daughter if possible. As you approach your target move corpus away from equity MFs into liquid or ultra short duration debt funds.

I am 70 yrs. Received Rs3cr as inheritance. I have my own house and enough rental income for monthly expenses. No liabilities. How and where to invest for next 3-5 year peroid. Already invested in SCSS, PMVVY, POMIS etc.

Ans: You may invest this corpus(3 Cr) in SBI magnum gilt fund. The 5 yr returns are best in the category.

The best part is since these mutual funds invest only in Government bonds so credit risk is nil but interest rate risk is there.

For a horizon of 3 to 5 years this is a good risk free investment option.

There is no lock-in. Also no exit load if the investment is redeemed after 15 days.
