Ans: Madam, Teaching your daughter embroidery, tailoring, and other vocational skills can be beneficial for her. These skills encourage creativity, patience, and problem-solving, as well as practical life skills like designing clothes and home décor. They also provide relaxation and stress relief, making them a healthy alternative to screen time. If she excels, these skills could open doors to entrepreneurial opportunities in fashion or crafts. These activities often have cultural significance, allowing her to stay connected to her roots and traditions. Completing even small projects boosts self-confidence. To make it fun and relevant, let her choose modern designs or projects she feels excited about, participate in online communities, and teach her the business side of embroidery and tailoring. Balancing leisure time with other interests, academics, and rest is essential. Ultimately, if she enjoys learning these skills, it's a fantastic way to spend her leisure time. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.

Ans: Dear Pralhad,
To manage your finances post-retirement and handle market volatility, allocate the ?4.5 crore from your land sale strategically. Use ?3 crore to purchase a residential property to save on capital gains tax and gift it to your daughter later. Allocate the remaining ?1.5 crore into ?50 lakh in SCSS for secure returns (~?16,000/month), ?50 lakh in RBI Floating Rate Bonds or POMIS (~?30,000/month), and ?50 lakh in balanced mutual funds for moderate growth. For your existing assets, keep ?25 lakh in SCSS and divide the ?1.5 crore mutual funds portfolio into 60% balanced advantage or hybrid funds for stability and 40% debt funds for steady income. Maintain 20-25% equity exposure (?50 lakh) in large-cap or dividend-yield funds for growth. Combined with a ?20-30 lakh emergency fund, this ensures a stable monthly income of ?1.25 lakh while safeguarding against market risks and providing for your family's future. Consult a certified financial advisor for personalized tax-efficient strategy

Ans: Dear Friend,
To retire in 2 years, you’ll need a corpus of approximately ?2 crore to sustain your current monthly expenses of ?60,000, adjusted for inflation and assuming 30 years of retirement. Allocate ?2.5 crore to fixed-income instruments like SCSS, RBI Bonds, or debt mutual funds to generate a stable annual income (~?10 lakh). Retain ?50 lakh in stocks and equity mutual funds for growth and ?30 lakh in balanced mutual funds for stability. Keep ?20-30 lakh in liquid funds or FDs for emergencies.

For real estate, retain your primary residence and explore rental income from other properties. Consider selling one property to reinvest in diversified assets for liquidity. Allocate ?50 lakh for your daughter’s education through a mix of PPF and equity funds. Regularly review your portfolio to account for inflation and market changes. This plan ensures a comfortable retirement and financial security for your family.

Ans: Dear Rayulu,
To create ?1 crore in 10 years with your current mutual fund SIPs of ?40,000/month, you need a consistent 12% CAGR. At this rate, your corpus will grow to approximately ?92.7 lakhs. To bridge the gap, consider increasing your SIPs by ?2,000-?3,000/month or adding a 10% annual top-up.

Your portfolio is well-diversified but leans heavily on small-cap funds (Axis, Quant, Nippon). Balance it by adding large-cap or index funds like **UTI Nifty Index** or **Mirae Asset Large Cap** for stability. Monitor your portfolio annually and reallocate if funds underperform consistently for 2-3 years. Staying disciplined, increasing SIPs periodically, and maintaining a balanced portfolio will ensure you comfortably achieve your ?1 crore goal in 10 years.

Ans: Hello;

My suggestion to you would be to surrender it as early as possible.

Even if you get your premiums back with some or nil return, it is okay.

Agent will tell you about loss because he will get impacted if you surrender the policy.

Recently IRDAI(Oct-2024)passed a diktat whereby the losses to investors surrendering their policy prematurely will be much lower then before.

Ans: Hello Yug

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.

Also your term insurance is quite low(50 L) you should enhance it to 1 Cr now with the option to extend it to 2 Cr later when your responsibilities increase.

Best wishes;

Ans: Hi
NIT Delhi is a great choice with good placements you can go ahead with it.
