Career

Hi Sir,my son is in 8th std.i have put hin in iit foundation course,since he has interest and want to study in iit.But he is scoring only 75 to 85% in his foundation exams.shall i continue him in the same course or move him to regular Cbse .

Ans: Every student is unique; choose the path that aligns with his learning style and aspirations.
While your son’s current scores are in the 75-85% range, remember that foundation courses aim to improve thinking ability and conceptual understanding, whereas CBSE syllabus may be less intense than IIT foundation courses.
Its a great to start in leading time for IIT, more involvement will clear his doubts & increase the focus for aim, and also encourage your son to explore his passion and choose the path.

Question by Venkat - Feb 17, 2025Hindi

Money

Hello sir, I am 33years old and like to have a stable life with a good retirement corpus along with children education. I have 2 sons both are of 1 and 3years old respectively and my wife is a housewife. I am having FD of 16L, 10L in gold, bought a flat paying housing loan EMI of 25K, having term insurance for 1cr and health insurance for 4L. I am making investments in mutual funds SIP of 30k since last 1 year. Hdfc dividend yeild fund 1000 Icici bluechip fund 8000 Quant small cap fund 1000 Canara robecco small cap fund 1000 Uti nifty index fund 5000 Icici balanced advantage fund 5000 Jm flexicap fund 2000 Quant elss fund 5000 Parag pareekh flexicap fund 2000 Lumsum Investments Sbi healthcare fund 20K Quant infrastruture fund 10k Sbi magnum gilt fund 20k Plz advice....am i really doing good with these investments or shall i replan my investments....

Ans: Hello;

Having 12 funds(9 sip+3 lumpsum) in portfolio is not required.

You need to just 4 funds for your sip of 30 K(divided equally):
1. Flexicap fund
2. Large and midcap fund
3. Balanced advantage fund
4. Multi asset allocation fund

You may consider exiting the sectoral, thematic and debt fund owned by you and redeploy it in your regular funds.

This ensures equity(large cap oriented)is predominant asset class in your portfolio but it also has exposure to debt and gold for balance and risk mitigation.

Also keep a target to step up sip amount every year by 7-10% atleast.

This will go towards higher education provision for your kids. (~1.85 Cr in 15 years considering 7% annual top-up and 10% modest returns)

For your retirement planning you may consider NPS and start with a decent amount(~30 K pm) as regular investment since time is on your side(27 years to hit 60 age).[3.45 Cr in 27 years without any step up consideration. 8% returns assumed].

Consider buying home loan insurance and super top-up health cover.

Happy Investing;

Hello Mr.Vipul...Pl guide as to which Cost Price will be applicable on Sale of HDFC Bank shares now onwards (held since 31Jan2018) and Merger of Parent HDFC Housing Fin.Ltd.(Also held since 31Jan.2018) on July2024.Since HDFC Bank Shares were also Split in 1 into 2 in Sept.2019 i.e; before Merger & after 31Jan.2018. Will the Cost be taken as Half of 31Jan.2018 Valuation or any other...??? Your Expert advice will be Appreciated....Thanks/Regards.

Ans: Dear Sir,
The cost of acquisition of shares purchased before 31 Jan 2018 and sold there after shall be as follows

COA of such investments shall be deemed to be the higher of:

The actual COA of such investments; and
The lower of-
Fair Market Value (‘FMV’) of such investments as on 31 Jan 2018; and
the Full Value of Consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset i.e. the Sale Price
Further, the FMV would be the highest price quoted on the recognised stock exchange on 31 January 2018.

Though there has been split up of shares, that does not change the COA since the COA will be distributed over all the shares of respective company and Total amount of COA shall be arrived as per the method given above.

Doing btech first year and charged with ufm . Committee decision is fail in subject and reaper next year How this impact my carrer, job opportunities? Does ufm marked on degree or elsewhere Please help

Ans: UFM will NOT be mentioned on your degree but may be in internal records.
One subject fail (with reappear) won’t ruin your career if you recover well.
Placements & future jobs depend more on skills, CGPA, and experience rather than one failed subject.
