During younh age 3 credit carf payment were delayed and settled bu bank. My cibil score now is 765 this is due to past faults 20yrs back. How can i rectify iy?

Ans: Since your CIBIL score is now a strong 765, it reflects a solid recovery despite past issues. However, to further improve it, focus on maintaining a perfect repayment history for all current credit. Avoid closing old accounts with good history, as they contribute positively. Regularly monitor your CIBIL report to ensure no errors. Over time, consistent and responsible credit behavior will enhance your score further.

Hello All . Looking for some advice I am 36 yr old and working class with Sal of 32 lakhs per annum Current savings are 33 lakhs in PPF / PF and Gratuity 3 lakhs in Shares and Mutual Fund 10 lakhs in Physical Gold 20 lakhs in Cash Liabilities Home loan outstanding 30 lakhs I wish to retire with corpus of 5cr and at age of 50 What do you think should change in my current portfolio

Ans: Hello;

You may begin a monthly sip of 80 K into a combination of pure equity mutual funds and continue for 14 years.

At 50, your sip may yield you a corpus of around 3.5 Cr.

The PF corpus will grow over 14 years into a sum of around 1 Cr. No additional contributions are assumed, which may be deemed as surplus.

The gold holding if liquidated and invested in equity mutual funds as lumpsum will yield a corpus of around 0.5 Cr after 14 years.

If you do not wish to liquidate gold holdings then the monthly sip may be hiked to 90 K.

The gold holding will grow in value to around 0.25 Cr over 14 years and 90 K sip will yield corpus of 3.75 Cr+.

Considering both scenarios you achieve your target of 5 Cr in 14 years:

80 K sip-3.5 Cr in 14 years
Pf value-1.0 Cr in 14 years
Gold holdings converted to equity MF holdings: 0.5 Cr in 14 years
Grand Total -5.00 Cr

90 K sip- 3.75 Cr+ in 14 years
Pf Value- 1.00 Cr in 14 years
Gold Value- 0.25 Cr in 14 years
Grand Total -5.00 Cr+

Pure equity MF returns assumed at 12%, PF at 8% and Gold return at 7%.

Happy Investing;

Now I want to do something in my life, learn different things, earn along with taking care of my family(husband and children). Iwas a very good student till engineering 2nd year then I lost interest because of stagnant studies in our college and no practicality. No one was there to guide us in our college. Now iam getting from my deep with in I should do something, I should learn and grow daily. I should earn and be financially independent and free financially till the age of 42. Can you please suggest me what are my opportunities, how can I grow ? Iam also interested in mathematics and history, these days I have a liking towards computer sciences too. What will you suggest?

I am 33 old female IT engg. I started preparing for govt exam right after graduation but didn't able to clear single one. During this course, also i got married but now i want to start a career but i am clueless which field i should start because of such huge gap. Please guide me

Ans: First be familiar with the changes which crept into the IT industry during the time of your gap, otherwise you will not be able to maintain the present pace. Secondly stop searching for govt. jobs. IT future lies in private only. One very good suggestion is there. Pursue 2 years online MBA in IT. It will cover many things which are presently in the market. Have 1/2 certificate course of AI & Machine Learning immediately and start applying for new jobs. I guarantee you will get good placement. I am always there for you. Just be in touch with me. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. Best of Luck. GOD BLESS YOU. Professor...................:)

My daughter is going to be graduated by next year in Electronic and communication engineering (ECE). Is there any good opportunity for job or should she continue her higher study? We are in a great confusion seeing this day by day fall down of job opportunity. Please help.

Ans: If the financial condition permits let her go for MS from a reputed university of USA. She needs good GRE SCORE, TOEFL score around 105-110, three good recommendations from her professor, a sloid SOP (statement of purpose) and approximately a funding between 80 lakhs to 1 crore. Don't lose hope and never discuss negative things in front of your daughter, it will affect her mental set up and enhance her anxiety. Everything will be OK. Just be in touch with me.

Hi sir, This is Naresh. I'm completed my diploma in civil engineering in 2016. After that I started my career as a structural cad engineer. Since 7 years I'm working as a professional engineer. I'm married. But actual my goal is in want become a structural design engineer. I stuck in my career. My salary also not growing as per the market. How can I get my degree in civil engineering field. And also I'm unable to quite my job. I want to grow in my career.Please guide me

Ans: Unless you go for BE (Civil) and M.Tech Structures you can't be an officially recognized Structural Engineer. But the present condition won't allow you to do BE (Civil) and M.Tech (Structures) by leaving you job and you are married too. So I would suggest you to appear for the AMIE exam. It is hard, but at least the scope is there. After completing AMIE you will be equivalent to BE ( Civil). After that even if you don't go for M.Tech it will not create any problem. Because AMIE with such a big experience will help you to stand as a sound structural engineer in the market. Join me in LINKEDIN for permanent connectivity and counselling. GOD BLESS YOU.
