I’m 45 and planning to retire in next 3 months. I have an overall savings of 3.3 ( FD, PF, Savings, Shares) gold - 20L plus 5L Silver. Home loan every month 61k, Car loan 39k, house rent 21k and 55k home expenses. Thinking to start my training business from home, can fetch 30k to 1L per month if done correctly. Planning to close my home loan (67L) full or partial (50L) and sell car or close partially loan (10L), outstanding is 15.5L. I have a daughter completing her 10th and took admission in 11th grade. Her annual college fees is 1.2L. We are moving in May to our own flat and have 3 shops in a slightly prime location (Chennai) however we can enjoy after 6 to 7 years. It is fetching today 35k (overall). Health insurance of 10L. After moving to new flat expected expenses per month - house expenses- 30k, Maintenance- 7k, my expenses - 25k, other exp- 10k to 15k.
Ans: Hello;

You must close you home loan(67 L) and car loan(15.5 L) in full from 3.3 Cr of overall savings.

That will leave you with a net savings of 2.475 Cr.

Keep 7.5 L as emergency fund in your saving account.

Keep 20 L in a liquid fund meant for your daughter's higher education. Gold(20 L) and Silver(5 L) holding may be used here if required.

Now your net savings is around 2.2 Cr. Buy an immediate annuity for this sum from an insurance company. Assuming 6% annuity rate you may expect a monthly income of 1 L post tax.

This will cover all your expenses at new residence and still leave something more in hand, which may reinvested in hybrid mutual funds to boost annuity income after 10 years.

All the best for your new venture.

Happy Investing;

Hello Respected sir, I have an old land worth 2 crore which I am planning to sell.Original sale deed is of Rs 1 lakh Can you please help me: 1. How much tax have to pay? 2. Where should I invest rest for max return? 3. Currently living on rent but planning to buy 2 flats around 50 lacks each. I will stay in one and the second one will sell. Is this correct? 4. My current income is 2 lakh a month and I have kid only. Investments already in PPF monthly 10K, Sukanya Yojna monthly 20K rest expenses 60K monthly. I am a 44 year old married. My Goal is to have: 25 Lakhs for Education in next 7 yrs and Retirement income 1Lakh a month.
Ans: Hello;

1. You have 2 options of long term capital gain tax working because you have old land.
a.200-1=199 Lakhs on this a tax of 12.5% i.e.24.875 Lakhs
b.200-x=xyz Lakhs on this a tax of 20%
Where "x" is the inflation indexed cost of acquisition
You may consult a CA for calculating "x" for you and also recommending ways in which you can avoid payment of this tax based on provisions of income tax act.

If you can save on entire tax payment by reinvesting the capital gain from land sale into real estate then it makes sense to invest in real estate. You may rent out part of your real estate to earn rental income.

You may do a monthly sip of `90 K in an equity savings type mutual fund with low to moderate risk for 7 years.

It may grow into a sum of 1 Cr after 7 years assuming modest return of 9%. It may be utilised to fund higher education of your kid and partially funding your retirement income in addition to rental income.

Best Wishes;
