Ans: Hello;

An investment of 30 K with 10% top-up each year will be required to be continued for 10 years minimum to reach a corpus of 1 Cr(12% return considered from pure equity mutual funds).

You may invest in a combination of flexicap mutual fund and a Large and Midcap type mutual fund in proportion of 50:50.

For pension you may invest in NPS with active choice and maximum possible equity allocation. Contributions can continue upto 70 age.

Happy Investing;

Ans: HI Sakshi.
If you are financially sound, then you should prefer IICT Gandhinagar, which provides better career prospects and practical skills relevant to the field of Data Science than VIT Vellore. However, this does not mean that VIT is not a better choice. If VIT is nearer to your home town and easily accessible, then you may opt for it. But if distance, money are not issues., then preferably go with IICT Gandhinagar.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

Nowadays payment for IPO allotment is through the process of ASBA(Application Supported by Blocked Amount) wherein funds needed to finance your IPO application are blocked.

If the funds are not enough the application will not go through.

Their no fine or penalty but it may affect your reputation with the bank/broker.

Ans: Gaurav, I have previously elucidated the primary reasons for my inability to pass the CA Exams despite multiple attempts. The Chartered Accountancy (CA) program may not be the right fit for everyone, so consider your strengths, interests, alternative high-earning career paths in finance, and non-finance career paths with high earning potential. Alternative high-earning careers include Investment Banking, Corporate Finance, Financial Planning & Wealth Management, and Non-Finance career paths with high earning potential. Shorter, practical certification programs can help you quickly enter high-paying fields without extensive education. If CA is no longer a fit, consider other certifications, high-paying fields in tech or management, or short-term courses in cybersecurity, cloud computing, or digital marketing. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.
