(2) Graduates of CSBS programs may pursue careers in areas such as technology consulting, project management, entrepreneurship, or positions that require a blend of technical and business skills.

Ans: If you are eligible for particular exemption and if same is not considered by employer on non-submission of documents, you can consider it while filing ITR. However, due to mismatch in Form 16 and ITR, income tax department may issue notice and verify correctness of the same.

Ans: For a target of Rs 4 Crore in the next 20 years, you need to invest about Rs 30-38,000 monthly assuming average returns of 10-12% per annum and that you will be able to increase your monthly investments by at least 5% each year in line with income/salary growth.

So given that you are investing about Rs 2500 in mutual funds each month right now, you will have to significantly increase this monthly contribution amount if you want to reach your target corpus.

We don't have information about your risk appetite. But assuming that it is at least moderately aggressive, then, you can start investing in a combination of largecap index funds, flexicap/large&midcap funds, midcap funds, etc.

Ans: For a target of Rs 25 lakh in the next 5 years, you need to invest about Rs 25-31,000 monthly assuming average returns of 10-12% per annum.

Right now you are doing Rs 15,000 monthly across 5 funds (with 3K SIP). So unless the returns generated by your funds are a lot more than that, it will be difficult to reach the target amount.

So you should try and invest as close as possible to the calculated amount of Rs 25-31,000 monthly. And assuming a reasonable salary growth and controlled expenses, you should try to increase the monthly investments each year in line with your income growth.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

I don't think I have to tell you that what your ex-partner is planning is exceptionally wrong. Wrong to his new wife, wrong to you. The only one gaining from this situation is him. He gets to keep his parents' wishes and his own. But that is not how life works, does it? I hope you understand that accepting his proposition would make you an accomplice to this terrible plan. I hope you make the right choice and trust me, there is only one right choice here. And where there is such an easy distinction between right and wrong, there is no excuse to make the wrong choice.

Best Wishes.
