I have 1 crore where can i invest to get bigger returns

Ans: Depends on your age, risk appetite, time horizon.

If your investment horizon is 1-3 years you may invest Balanced advantage fund

If your investment horizon is 3-5 years you may invest in equity savings fund

If your investment horizon is above 5 years then you may invest in flexicap fund.

You may do single lumpsum or spread your investments over 10 months(10Lac per month) to get some benefit of cost averaging.

*Investments in mutual funds are subject to market risks. Please read all scheme related documents carefully before investing

Happy Investing

I. Have 1 crore where can i invest for 2 yrs to get bigger returns, that amt is for ur daughter marriage
Ans: Dear Friend,
Thank you for your query. It's great that you're planning ahead for your daughter's marriage. With ?1 crore available for investment over a two-year period, you’ll want to balance growth with a moderate level of risk, since the time horizon is relatively short.
Key Considerations:
Since the investment horizon is only two years, it's important to prioritize capital preservation while seeking returns higher than traditional savings accounts or fixed deposits. Investments in high-risk options like equities are not advisable for such a short duration, as markets can be volatile. Instead, a mix of low to medium risk instruments will be more suitable.
Suggested Investment Options for Two Years:
1. Debt Mutual Funds - Short-Term Debt Funds or Corporate Bond Funds can offer returns in the range of 6-8% per annum. These funds invest in government securities, corporate bonds, and other fixed-income instruments. They are safer than equity investments and are suited for a 2-year investment period.
- Dynamic Bond Funds can also be considered, as they adjust their portfolios according to interest rate fluctuations, potentially offering better returns than fixed deposits.
2. Fixed Deposits (FDs) - Though FDs offer lower returns (typically 6-7% per annum), you can opt for Corporate FDs from highly rated companies which offer slightly higher interest rates. FDs provide safety and guaranteed returns, but they may not grow your wealth significantly.
3. Arbitrage Mutual Funds - Arbitrage funds take advantage of the price difference between the cash and futures markets. They are relatively low-risk and provide returns similar to short-term debt funds but with better tax efficiency if held for more than one year. These can be a good option for a two-year horizon, offering returns of around 5-6%.
4. High-Quality Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) - NCDs from reputed companies offer fixed interest rates, usually ranging from 7-9%. They can be a good option for someone seeking stable returns. However, be cautious about the credit ratings of the issuing company.
5. Ultra Short-Term Mutual Funds - These funds invest in short-term debt instruments and are suitable for a two-year horizon. They generally offer returns slightly higher than savings accounts, around 6-7%.
6. Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (MIS) - If you prefer absolute safety, this government-backed scheme offers around 6.6% interest per annum, with monthly interest payouts. You can park part of your investment here for assured returns.
7. Liquid Funds or Short-Term Gilt Funds - Liquid funds invest in money market instruments and offer stable returns with high liquidity. For a two-year period, liquid funds can yield around 5-6%. Gilt funds are another option, which invest in government securities and are suitable for low-risk investors. These funds may provide returns in the range of 6-7%.
For Example, you can plan a Portfolio Allocation for ?1 Crore as follows
1. Debt Mutual Funds (40% - ?40 Lacs) : Short-term debt or corporate bond funds for capital appreciation and safety.
2. Fixed Deposits or Post Office MIS (30% - ?30 Lacs) : Secure investments with guaranteed returns.
3. Arbitrage Funds or Dynamic Bond Funds (20% - ?20 Lacs) : To benefit from moderate growth with tax efficiency.
4. Liquid Funds (10% - ?10 Lacs) : For high liquidity and short-term needs.
It’s highly recommended to consult with a certified financial advisor to fine-tune this plan according to your exact goals and risk tolerance.

Can I get NIT Trichy ECE with 98%ile in JEE MAINS 2025 ?? EWS rank 4146
Ans: Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories both Home State (HS) i.e. State you belong to & also Other State (OS).
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in, separately for HS & OS Categories for a quick reference.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.

Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.
