Question by D on Jul 16, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello Sir, I want to become a businesswoman and have ideas for a startup. I know that for a business, having skills is more important than a degree. However, my parents want me to go to university. I have shortlisted two courses and have been selected for them at MIT WPU- BBA LLB and BSc Economics. LLB because I also have an inclination towards civil services. I had discussed with a teacher who said that Bsc Economics will give me a business understanding better than BBA, however, the career opportunities in that are lesser than that of BBA LLB and my initial preference was BBA LLB itself. What will be suitable for me, I am not able to make up my mind? Thank you.

Ans: Please keep in mind that, according to a recent report in the 'Times of India', most law graduates prefer to work in corporations rather than practice law in courts. You can pursue a BBA LLB and prepare for Civil Services as you wish (or) work as an assistant to any senior in any of the organizations to obtain expertise. Please keep in mind that you will need to choose your specialization for your LLB, whether it is Civil, Labour, Taxation, Business, Corporate, or any other. Also, you should stay up with the latest amendments. If you want to appear for Civil Services Exam, you should conduct extensive research before beginning your preparations. If Civil Services does not work out, you should have a backup plan A & Plan B. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Ans: Prefer BBA-LLB (in which you will have multiple career options, including Civil Services) to (than) BSc Economics. However, please note, as per a recent article in the 'Times of India", most of the Law Graduates prefer working in 'Corporates' than practicing as Lawyers in Courts. Besides, you should keep updating the amendments of various laws, especially your specialized subject (Civil, Criminal, Corporate, Tax, Labour etc.).

All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

If starting on your own is the prime focus then BBA, LLB might be a better fit as it combines practical business knowledge and legal compliance which are essential for startup. At the end best choices depends on more where you are inclined. Trust your instincts and choose the path that resonates more to You.

Sir sbi Future build lock in period life insurance yearly 40000 start karna h please iske bare me batiye

Ans: Hello;

I would honestly recommend you to avoid ULIPs under all circumstances because they are inefficient both for insurance as well as investment returns.

It is better to buy adequate term life cover and invest in NPS and mutual funds for retirement and other financial goals.

Asked by Anonymous - Apr 22, 2025Hindi

I had to survive during the lockdown, so I withdrew everything from my EPF about 6 lakhs. I told myself I'd replace it later. But now I'm 38, with two kids and zero retirement savings. I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life. Can I realistically rebuild in time?

Ans: Hello;

No need to panic. That was your need at that point of time so it's okay.

First and foremost open an NPS account for retirement planning. It allows very limited withdrawals.

Invest in it as much as possible. You can also set-up monthly regular investment into NPS through D-remit feature.

Even if you invest 25 K per month in NPS you may expect a corpus of 1.8 Cr at the age of 60 assuming modest return of 8%.

Ans: Hello;

Managing your personal finance by watching YouTube videos of finfluencers can be injurious to your financial health.

Do not fall for it ever because their are vested interests. Keep in mind that if something is available for free then you are the product.

It would be better to consult an investment advisor or a certified financial planner.
