My son has completed his B Tech in IT from Delhi. Now he is confused and told various things like 1) Not interested in IT 2) Want to go for M Tech in Mechanical engg 3) Want to do MBA 4) We want him to look for a job & do whatever study preferably online. Pl advice.

Ans: If he is not interested in IT, then it makes sense to change career. I don't think doing M Tech in Mech is a solution as it will involve a complete change in field. He can look at reskilling himself by doing a course in a field that he is interested in. Doing an MBA would be a good option where he can look for career growth. MBA usually gives a lot of flexibility in terms of career choices.

Question by Ashok - Jul 14, 2024Hindi

Career

My son did B. Tech in Mech Engineering and presently working in EXL as buisness analyst. Should he continues in same company or switch to main stream company in whicj he did the B Tech. Please advise me.

Ans: Encourage your son to reflect on his long-term career aspirations. Does he see himself continuing in business analysis or returning to an engineering role? Evaluate the work environment, company culture, and growth prospects at EXL. Does he feel challenged and motivated? If he enjoys the analytical aspects of business analysis and wants to build expertise in that field, staying at EXL might be a good choice. Compare compensation packages, benefits, and perks. Consider factors like health insurance, retirement plans, and work-life balance.

If he wants to return to mainstream engineering, he can explore opportunities in manufacturing, product design, or related fields. Research mainstream engineering companies and compare their work culture, growth opportunities, and alignment with his interests.

Question by Prahlad - Jan 22, 2025Hindi

Money

Hi Sir, I am retired and 63 years old. Having 50 lacs in equity.1.5 cr MF, 25 lacs in SCSS.expected landproperty sale of 4.5 cr also having own house and no education or marriage expenses of children. Medical insurance of 10 lack for me and wife. However intended to buy a residential property of 3 cr to get relax from capital gain post selling the land. And same will be given to daughter later. Need monthly expenses of 1.25 lack. Since market is too volatile. Kindly suggest way forward.

Ans: Dear Pralhad,
To manage your finances post-retirement and handle market volatility, allocate the ?4.5 crore from your land sale strategically. Use ?3 crore to purchase a residential property to save on capital gains tax and gift it to your daughter later. Allocate the remaining ?1.5 crore into ?50 lakh in SCSS for secure returns (~?16,000/month), ?50 lakh in RBI Floating Rate Bonds or POMIS (~?30,000/month), and ?50 lakh in balanced mutual funds for moderate growth. For your existing assets, keep ?25 lakh in SCSS and divide the ?1.5 crore mutual funds portfolio into 60% balanced advantage or hybrid funds for stability and 40% debt funds for steady income. Maintain 20-25% equity exposure (?50 lakh) in large-cap or dividend-yield funds for growth. Combined with a ?20-30 lakh emergency fund, this ensures a stable monthly income of ?1.25 lakh while safeguarding against market risks and providing for your family's future.

I am 40 year old have 1 daughter aged 8 years current monthly expenses 60 thousand. I have 30 lakh in PF, 25 lakh in stocks, 40 lakh in fd,50 lakh cash, 35 lakh gold, own apartment no loan, 4 crore in real-estate. Please suggest what should I do if I want to retire in the next 2 years.

Ans: Dear Friend,
To retire in 2 years, you’ll need a corpus of approximately ?2 crore to sustain your current monthly expenses of ?60,000, adjusted for inflation and assuming 30 years of retirement. Allocate ?2.5 crore to fixed-income instruments like SCSS, RBI Bonds, or debt mutual funds to generate a stable annual income (~?10 lakh). Retain ?50 lakh in stocks and equity mutual funds for growth and ?30 lakh in balanced mutual funds for stability. Keep ?20-30 lakh in liquid funds or FDs for emergencies.

For real estate, retain your primary residence and explore rental income from other properties. Consider selling one property to reinvest in diversified assets for liquidity. Allocate ?50 lakh for your daughter’s education through a mix of PPF and equity funds. Regularly review your portfolio to account for inflation and market changes. This plan ensures a comfortable retirement and financial security for your family.

Sir iam rayulu 47 years old. Iam invest in mutual fund s axis small cap 5000 ,quant small cap 5000, motilal oswal midcap 5000, nippond india growth fund 5000 and my wife account Nippon small cap 5000 and sbi contra 5000 paragpark flex cap 5000,HDFC flex cap 5000 how to create 1 crore in tem years pls suggest

Ans: Dear Rayulu,
To create ?1 crore in 10 years with your current mutual fund SIPs of ?40,000/month, you need a consistent 12% CAGR. At this rate, your corpus will grow to approximately ?92.7 lakhs. To bridge the gap, consider increasing your SIPs by ?2,000-?3,000/month or adding a 10% annual top-up.

Your portfolio is well-diversified but leans heavily on small-cap funds (Axis, Quant, Nippon). Balance it by adding large-cap or index funds like **UTI Nifty Index** or **Mirae Asset Large Cap** for stability. Monitor your portfolio annually and reallocate if funds underperform consistently for 2-3 years. Staying disciplined, increasing SIPs periodically, and maintaining a balanced portfolio will ensure you comfortably achieve your ?1 crore goal in 10 years.

Money

What is the future of Lic jeevan saral?I am paying premium since March 12.I will incur a loss of Rs 3 lacs approximately if I surrender the policy today as suggested by my agent.Please suggest what should I do? I am 54 years old and policy term is 28 years.

Ans: Hello;

My suggestion to you would be to surrender it as early as possible.

Even if you get your premiums back with some or nil return, it is okay.

Agent will tell you about loss because he will get impacted if you surrender the policy.

Recently IRDAI(Oct-2024)passed a diktat whereby the losses to investors surrendering their policy prematurely will be much lower then before.

Best wishes;

I am male,29, not yet married. Earn 80k, invest 28k in mf sip, 8k in emergency fund. Family pension 40k. My personal medical cover 3 lac and same amount cover from office. Term plan 50lac. In unforseen circumstances withdraw money from pension. We had medical benefit of cashless hospital treatment, but the same got withdrawn from long time now. Now we need to pay and claim reimbursement as per CGHS rate. My mother is 65. We don't have her medical cover as she has panel benefit but now it is not cashless. I want to cover for her hospitalisation. If I start medical cover now it is costing 1.5 lac to 1.8 lac for 50 lac cover. What should I do ?

Ans: Hello;

You may buy a base health insurance of 5 L for your Mother. (Should cost you ~20-25K/pa)

Then you may buy a super top up health cover for your Mom(~25 L).
It may cost you ~10-12 K/pa).

These are indicative costs for a person of 65 years of age with no disease, without GST. Actual costs may vary from company to company.

Do a thorough study of exclusions, room rent limit, other terms and conditions or consult an insurance advisor.

Also your term insurance is quite low(50 L) you should enhance it to 1 Cr now with the option to extend it to 2 Cr later when your responsibilities increase.

Dear Sir My son is currently in 9th - CBSE board. His ultimate aim is getting into IIT. He wants to focus exclusively in national Olympiads Maths and science in Class 10th . He wants to know if there are some good dummy school for Class X - CBSE , which will enable his objective. If yes, will there be any eligibility issue for the same once he appears for JEE Mains after clearing 12th. I support his decision that in scenario if he doesn't clears JEE in 1st attempt, instead of then wasting 1 year at home, and again preparing for JEE, why don't he get the preparations underway from Class 10th onwards, sincerely prepare for olympiads thereby getting an edge in JEE preparation once he enters class 11th. Request your advise regarding availibility of 10th Dummy school and whether there will be some eligibility issue afterwards. Thanks and Regards Ashish

Ans: Hello Sir,
In my view, M.S. is more beneficial & rewarding than doing M.Tech. If Pursuing M.Tech then top colleges are IITs & NITs. If he is happy with the work culture & perks he is receiving then I would suggest continue for 2-3 years to gain a good experience and then decide M.S/M. Tech or MBA.
