I want to know about Christ lavasa,bballb.My daughter got admission there..Is it worth sending her there.Dies it have value?? Kindly confirm

Ans: Christ (Deemed to be University) is accredited by the NAAC and enjoys a great reputation among India's Top colleges. Hence, it is safe to rely on the kind of education and opportunities it would offer across campuses. You can also consider the following parameters to evaluate if the program will add any value:

a) It is advised to check if the institution is accredited by relevant educational bodies
b) Learn about the qualifications and experience of the faculty members in the law program
c) Check the campus infrastructure, libraries, moot courtrooms, and other facilities necessary for a comprehensive legal education
d) Another critical aspect is to check the placement track record; if the program provides opportunities for internships and placements in reputed law firms, corporate legal departments, or other relevant organizations.
e) Examine the curriculum to ensure that it covers a wide range of legal subjects and provides practical exposure through moot court competitions, internships, and workshops.
f) Go through online reviews, alumni feedback, and opinions from professionals in the legal field can provide insights
g) Understand the extracurricular activities the curriculum provides - opportunities for participation in moot court competitions, seminars, workshops, or legal aid clinics
h)A strong alumni network will also be helpful in providing valuable connections
i) Evaluate the tuition fees, scholarships, and any other financial aspects to ensure they align with your budget and expectations
j) If possible visit the campus and interact with faculty members, students, and administrators to get a feel for the institution's environment and culture.

Money
Can I retire at age of 50 years? My savings are cash in Bank around Rs 2 Cr with nominal FD returns, Have Physical Gold about 3 Kg (Purchase price 1.8 Cr), Have Ornament Gold about 2.3 Kg (Purchase price 1.2 Cr), Have Unlisted NSE stock worth 1 Cr, Have Pre IPO Opportunities Fund worth Rs 80 Lakhs, Have two apartments worth 3 Cr and 1.5 Cr with combined rental of Rs 1Lakh per month, Have residential plot worth 1.5 Cr, Have one house abroad worth 6 Cr and rental 2 Lakhs per month, Have cash in Offshore Bank in dollars i.e. worth Rs 12 Cr with nominal FD returns, Have Insurance schemes worth Rs 20 Lakhs and Lastly have a house worth Rs 18 Cr in which we currently reside. Our Expenses : We have no Loans/Debts, Our Average Monthly Expenses are Rs 8 Lakhs, Health Insurance Rs 1.5 Lakhs per annum, Total College Education abroad for 2 kids for next 6 years estimated to be Rs 6 CR on an average 1CR per year, Old Aged Parents Expenses Rs 2 Lakhs per month.
Ans: Hello;

Just summarizing your assets available for generating retirement income:

1. Domestic FD: 2 Cr
2. Gold(3 Kg) valued at~:2.64 Cr
3. Jewellery valued at~:2 Cr
4. Flat1: 3 Cr
5. Flat2: 1.5 Cr
6. Land: 1.5 Cr
7. Overseas House: 6 Cr
8. Overseas FD: 12 Cr
9. Self occupied property: 18 Cr
10. Stock & AIF: 1.8 Cr
Total: 50.44 Cr
(Gold price considered: 88 K per 10 gm)
However we can subtract assets at serial no. 3, 7 and 9 from this and we get a corpus of 24.44 Cr. The 44 L may be kept aside for transaction costs, taxes etc.

It is advisable that you sell the flats in India offering low rental yield and also physical gold and the land property.

Now the corpus of 24 Cr may be split into two parts:
20 Cr may be invested in MFs for SWP at 5% yielding post tax income of around 7.3 L per month.

4 Cr may be used to buy immediate annuity from a life insurance company. Assuming 6% annuity rate you may expect a post tax monthly income of 1.4 L.

So your post tax monthly income may be:
7.3+1.4+2*=10.7 L as desired.
*Rental from overseas House

Since the kid's higher education is not finding place here I suggest you work for few more years, while putting this retirement income plan in place, for funding their higher education.

Best wishes;
