Ans: Yes HRA can be claimed if own house property is in different city and due to employment, you have to stay on rent.

Further, with reference to deduction of Interest and Principle repayment on housing loan, subject to prescribed limit (Rs.2 lacs for self occupied home interest and Rs.1.5 lacs for principal repayment u/s 80C ), benefit can be taken for both houses.

Ans: If you buy a home in Karad, you can claim tax benefits on a home loan, but you may not be eligible to claim House Rent Allowance (HRA). Here's an explanation:

Home Loan Benefits: If you purchase a house in Karad and take a home loan for that property, you can claim tax benefits on the loan under the following sections:

a. Deduction on Home Loan Interest (Section 24(b)): You can claim a deduction on the interest paid on the home loan up to Rs. 2 lakh per financial year, subject to certain conditions.

b. Deduction on Principal Repayment (Section 80C): You can claim a deduction on the principal repayment of the home loan under Section 80C, up to a maximum limit of Rs. 1.5 lakh per financial year, along with other eligible investments.

House Rent Allowance (HRA): HRA is a benefit provided to salaried individuals who live in a rented house. If you own a house in Karad and reside in it, you may not be eligible to claim HRA, as you are not paying rent.

Tax Benefits for a New House in Navi Mumbai: If you buy a new house in Navi Mumbai after 3-4 years, you can claim tax benefits on the home loan for that property as well. The tax benefits mentioned earlier (deduction on home loan interest and principal repayment) can be claimed for both properties separately, subject to the prescribed limits and conditions.

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
