Ans: Hello;

Your current savings may suffice to meet higher education needs of your kid.

The current monthly expenses of 40 K will be 80 K in 12 years time considering 6% inflation.

You need a sip of 80 K per month so as to achieve a sum of around ~ 2.4 Crs in 12 years.

If you do an SWP at 4% from this sum, then you may expect monthly income of around 80 K.

Happy Investing;

Ans: Hello;

SWP in this case is absolutely ruled out because it won't work neither it is worth the risk.

You may repay home loan from the corpus to be received by your father and buy him lifetime annuity for the balance amount.(Will be much less then 30 K expected)

Else you may put entire sum received at retirement into an immediate annuity which at 6% may provide monthly income of 20 K. You and your brother may service the home loan.

You may migrate the loan to other lender with lesser rate of interest to reduce the burden.

Other option is to pay entire home loan from retirement corpus of your Dad. Then you may do reverse mortgage of the property owned by your father so that he gets monthly income.

But this option will relinquish your right to your father's home. Ofcourse you may buy from the lender later at the market rate.

Best wishes;

Ans: Hello;

I agree with the justification offered by Tata Capital.

However by the same yardstick they shouldn't have raised home loan rates immediately after RBI rate hike.

You may talk to their senior team and try to get some relief.

Complaining to RBI should be the last resort.

Best wishes;

Ans: Hello;

Direct equity investment in such choppy markets is a strict NO.

SIPs must be definitely ON with lumpsum at every big market fall.

Your time horizon, risk appetite and financial profile will decide type of fund to be invested into.

Happy Investing;

Ans: Hi
Getting a good college through josaa or csab doesn't seem easy. You should try through state counselling.
