Question by Rajan on Jan 20, 2025Hindi

Money

I am 50 yrs old an IT consultant doing own business, i invested in mf via sip 1.nippon smallcap 10k/month 2. Ppfas 7500/month 3.quant active fund 8500/month 4. Pgim lumpsum 60k Please advise for long term benefit like my son btech education fees i am started mf sip past 1.5 years, my son going to join college this year can i withdraw all my money from mf. Due to bearish movement of market last few month my overall percentage lower very much 26% to 19% . Pls advice

Ans: Hi Rajan,

Good to know you planned investment for your son's education. There a few things to keep in mind when planning investment which are market linked.
The time horizon is very important to reap the benefit from the market linked investments. In your case your son is going to join college this year and than means you will need this money for his fees. Along with this the fund selection based on the risk profile.
There have been 2 things that seem to be of concern at this time - 1. Markets are bearish currently and 2. Not enough time to stay invested. Also the funds you have selected are of very high risk category and hence you may see higher impact in the fund value compare to the market.
If you still see a return of 19% as mentioned, I would recommend you to withdraw and for whatever time you have the money before utilizing it, do consider a low risk option of investment like Bank FDs.
This will provide safety and liquidity of your money when required.
All the best to your son for his future.

Thanks & Regards
Janak Patel
Certified Financial Planner.

I am male,29, not yet married. Earn 80k, invest 28k in mf sip, 8k in emergency fund. Family pension 40k. My personal medical cover 3 lac and same amount cover from office. Term plan 50lac. In unforseen circumstances withdraw money from pension. We had medical benefit of cashless hospital treatment, but the same got withdrawn from long time now. Now we need to pay and claim reimbursement as per CGHS rate. My mother is 65. We don't have her medical cover as she has panel benefit but now it is not cashless. I want to cover for her hospitalisation. If I start medical cover now it is costing 1.5 lac to 1.8 lac for 50 lac cover. What should I do ?

Ans: Hello;

You may buy a base health insurance of 5 L for your Mother. (Should cost you ~20-25K/pa)

Then you may buy a super top up health cover for your Mom(~25 L).
It may cost you ~10-12 K/pa).

These are indicative costs for a person of 65 years of age with no disease, without GST. Actual costs may vary from company to company.

Do a thorough study of exclusions, room rent limit, other terms and conditions or consult an insurance advisor.

Best wishes;

Dear Sir My son is currently in 9th - CBSE board. His ultimate aim is getting into IIT. He wants to focus exclusively in national Olympiads Maths and science in Class 10th . He wants to know if there are some good dummy school for Class X - CBSE , which will enable his objective. If yes, will there be any eligibility issue for the same once he appears for JEE Mains after clearing 12th. I support his decision that in scenario if he doesn't clears JEE in 1st attempt, instead of then wasting 1 year at home, and again preparing for JEE, why don't he get the preparations underway from Class 10th onwards, sincerely prepare for olympiads thereby getting an edge in JEE preparation once he enters class 11th. Request your advise regarding availibility of 10th Dummy school and whether there will be some eligibility issue afterwards. Thanks and Regards Ashish

Ans: Hello Ashish Ji
it is not good and advisable for me to write this in detail on a public platform, I will help you with this if you can specify your city. In case of any queries & professional help, you can DM me through insta handle CAREERSTREETS.

My son is working in an multinational energy company. Work culture is very good, salary also good. He did his B.Tech in CSE in the year 2023. He is working as a Software Eng. in the ERP section. My son is interested more coding related job. He has a GATE (2023) score of 581 (Gen cat). My questions are 1) Is it advisable to do M.Tech in CSE using his GATE score? If yes, then which top Colleges can be preferred? 2) Or, will he continue his present job for few more years to gain experience ++ 3) Or, to switch to a new company? Thanks in advance.

Ans: Hello Sir,
In my view, M.S. is more beneficial & rewarding than doing M.Tech. If Pursuing M.Tech then top colleges are IITs & NITs. If he is happy with the work culture & perks he is receiving then I would suggest continue for 2-3 years to gain a good experience and then decide M.S/M. Tech or MBA.

Career

Hi sir, my son is in 6th grade in kendriya vidyalaya Mumbai cbse syllabus they are teaching well he is performing well but regarding Olympiads he is unable to perform well. We are thinking of 2 option 1.change his school to where they are training students for JEE/neet 2. To let him study in the same school and keep online tuition in Allen/ahaguru .... Which one would be better plz suggest

Ans: Hello
To be honest, no schools in India train simultaneously for boards and olympiads. Only a few schools like in the south, Kota and some in Mumbai train students for Olympiads and other entrance exams because ultimately they are coaching classes registered as schools.

I would suggest continuing with KV till the 10th and joining a separate coaching. During 11-12th you can go with this coaching cum junior college combination.

Hi , I am 40 years married and have one child residing in Bangalore. I have 30 lakh in PPF , 32 lakh in PF and 15 Lakh in MF and around 40 Lakh in Shares. A flat in different city of value around 60 lakh I have two emi for total 67000 per month running for next 3 years. Rent is 35k per month. Income around 3 lakh per month. I am planning to buy flat , 2.1 cr taking loan 1.5 cr for 20 years. Remaining 60 lakh as personal financing for flat purchase with income for next 2 years. Please advise what I can do to manage my finance and build corpus for saving as well

Ans: Hello;

Your monthly expenses:
Current EMIs: 67000
New EMI: ~133000
Rent: 35000
Household expenses:~ 50000
Total monthly Expense: 285000
Total monthly Income:~ 300000

You have hardly any income left for investments.

If I would have been in your place, I would have settled earlier loans before venturing into a new home loan, using part of the savings.

Also I would have sold the flat in other city and used the sale proceeds towards down payment of new house purchase.

This will ensure that my current investments remain mostly untouched(except loan prepayment).

I get exemption from long term capital gain arising from sale of old flat since reinvested into new residence(As per provisions of ITax Act).

My EMI burden will be much lesser and I can invest aggressively in mutual funds and NPS for:
1. Kid higher education &
2. Retirement

This was my perspective.

You may have different approach but key is to ensure reasonable amount of debt so that you have disposable income left for investments towards
future goals.

Happy Investing;
