Hence, a better choice depends on your career goals

Which is best To do Mpharm or Pharma MBA

Ans: Hi,
If you are considering pursuing an MBA, it is essential to have skills and competency in areas such as marketing and manufacturing for better prospects. In contrast, pursuing a postgraduate degree in pharmacy can provide more knowledge compared to an undergraduate degree.

In my opinion, completing a B.Pharm, gaining experience in marketing, and then pursuing an MBA through distance education programs would lead to better prospects when compared to pursuing an MBA without any experience.

I completed Bachelor of Pharmacy but now I got confused should I take admission to M Pharm or Pharm D

Ans: Hi, If you're interested in the clinical area go for Pharm D. B.Pharm+PharmD provides more knowledge in both pharmaceutical and clinical areas.
If not, then consider post-graduation. I would recommend going for B.Pharm + Pharm D with clinical skills, otherwise, it won't be very useful.

Hi Experts, I seek your guidance on my mutual fund portfolio. Below are the details: Total Portfolio Details: - Total Invested Amount: ?15,76,159 - Current Value: ?19,35,234 - Total Returns: ?3,59,075 (+22.78%) - XIRR: 20.75% Monthly SIP Contribution: ?1,18,000 Breakdown of monthly SIP contributions across funds: 1. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 2. SBI Large & Midcap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?15,000 3. SBI Magnum Mid Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?20,000 4. Nippon India Large Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?30,000 5. Nippon India Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?7,500 6. ICICI Prudential Technology Direct Plan Growth – ?10,000 7. Quant Small Cap Fund Direct Plan Growth – ?7,500 8. HSBC Small Cap Fund Direct Growth – ?5,000 9. Edelweiss US Technology Equity Fund of Funds Direct Growth – ?5,000 Can you suggest if I am on track to create 5 CR corpus in 10 years I have ?25 lakh invested in a Fixed Deposit (FD) in my mother’s account, earning an interest rate of 7.75%, to generate tax-free returns. Additionally, I’m planning to purchase a plot worth ?30–50 lakh in the next 1–2 years. Is it a good idea to keep the money in FD for now, or are there better short-term investment options I should consider to maximize returns while keeping the funds accessible for my future purchase? Looking forward to your suggestions! Thank you!

Ans: Hello;

Your monthly sip value adds upto 1.3 L however you have claimed it to be 1.18 L. (Maybe a typo).

Existing corpus(19.35 L) and monthly sip (1.3 L) won't reach 5 Cr in 10 years.

You have two options to make it happen:

1. Increase monthly sip amount to 1.9 L.

2. Top-up current monthly SIP of 1.3 L by minimum 10% each year for 10 years.

Both ways will lead you to a corpus of 5 Cr over 10 years.

You may consider money market mutual funds for parking your funds for a 1 year horizon. Returns may be comparable to FD returns but with flexibility to withdraw anytime. They typically have low to moderate risk.

Happy Investing;

I am 49 years old. I have EPF of 1.32 crores. I have retired from corporate life to build a start up. I left jon in August 2024. 1. Please let me know if i can withdraw entire EPF? 2. What is the tax i need to pay. Thank you.

Ans: Hello;

You may withdraw your EPF corpus claiming two consecutive months of unemployment after quitting the previous job(Aug-24).

Further if you have had 5 years, or more, of continuous service, across employer's but without any break, then your withdrawal will be tax free.

Else you may have a 10% TDS on withdrawal plus interest on contributions is also taxable as per slab rate.
