Hii In my 10th marksheet i have written my father's name as Shamim Akhter while in my 12th marksheet i have written it as Md Shamim Akhter will it affect my NEET counselling?

Ans: Hello Alia
There will be no effect on your NEET counseling. Yet it is recommended that you have ample time to correct the corrections in the marks sheets in a legal way which will help you in the future also.

Follow me if you like the reply. Else ask again.
Thanks

I have a query regarding the NEET UG 2025 registration for my daughter. Her Aadhaar card mentions her name as Kripa Kamal Sheth, including her father's name as the middle name. However, her Class 10 CBSE mark sheet lists her name as Kripa Sheth, with her father's name, Kamal Sheth, mentioned separately. We were able to use DigiLocker to successfully fetch her Class 10 CBSE mark sheet using the name on her Aadhaar card. Considering the latest notification about Aadhaar usage for NEET registration, I would like to confirm whether this discrepancy in naming conventions across documents will cause any issues during her NEET UG registration process. Your advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
Ans: Hi Kamal
Please ensure that the name registered on your daughter's SSLC (10th standard) certificate matches the name on her birth certificate. The birth certificate is a primary document for everyone, whereas an Aadhaar card is not considered fundamental (even to obtain an Aadhaar, proof of date of birth is required).

Additionally, the government plans to implement a "One Nation, One Card" system. In the future, inconsistencies in names may pose problems when completing any course or applying for jobs, as well as when opening a bank account or obtaining PF or PAN. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent any potential issues related to name discrepancies.

If the names on the birth certificate and the SSLC mark sheet do not match, I recommend consulting a Notary Public for guidance.

Ans: You have a structured approach to investing. You are planning for retirement and your daughters' higher education.

Too many funds increase complexity.

Small-cap exposure is high, increasing risk.

Can I retire at age of 50 years? My savings are cash in Bank around Rs 2 Cr with nominal FD returns, Have Physical Gold about 3 Kg (Purchase price 1.8 Cr), Have Ornament Gold about 2.3 Kg (Purchase price 1.2 Cr), Have Unlisted NSE stock worth 1 Cr, Have Pre IPO Opportunities Fund worth Rs 80 Lakhs, Have two apartments worth 3 Cr and 1.5 Cr with combined rental of Rs 1Lakh per month, Have residential plot worth 1.5 Cr, Have one house abroad worth 6 Cr and rental 2 Lakhs per month, Have cash in Offshore Bank in dollars i.e. worth Rs 12 Cr with nominal FD returns, Have Insurance schemes worth Rs 20 Lakhs and Lastly have a house worth Rs 18 Cr in which we currently reside. Our Expenses : We have no Loans/Debts, Our Average Monthly Expenses are Rs 8 Lakhs, Health Insurance Rs 1.5 Lakhs per annum, Total College Education abroad for 2 kids for next 6 years estimated to be Rs 6 CR on an average 1CR per year, Old Aged Parents Expenses Rs 2 Lakhs per month.
Ans: Hello;

Just summarizing your assets available for generating retirement income:

1. Domestic FD: 2 Cr
2. Gold(3 Kg) valued at~:2.64 Cr
3. Jewellery valued at~:2 Cr
4. Flat1: 3 Cr
5. Flat2: 1.5 Cr
6. Land: 1.5 Cr
7. Overseas House: 6 Cr
8. Overseas FD: 12 Cr
9. Self occupied property: 18 Cr
10. Stock & AIF: 1.8 Cr
Total: 50.44 Cr
(Gold price considered: 88 K per 10 gm)
However we can subtract assets at serial no. 3, 7 and 9 from this and we get a corpus of 24.44 Cr. The 44 L may be kept aside for transaction costs, taxes etc.

It is advisable that you sell the flats in India offering low rental yield and also physical gold and the land property.

Now the corpus of 24 Cr may be split into two parts:
20 Cr may be invested in MFs for SWP at 5% yielding post tax income of around 7.3 L per month.

4 Cr may be used to buy immediate annuity from a life insurance company. Assuming 6% annuity rate you may expect a post tax monthly income of 1.4 L.

So your post tax monthly income may be:
7.3+1.4+2*=10.7 L as desired.
*Rental from overseas House

Since the kid's higher education is not finding place here I suggest you work for few more years, while putting this retirement income plan in place, for funding their higher education.

Best wishes;
X: @mars_invest
