SIR, I AM SR CITIZEN SALARY PERSON , I WANT TO INVEST IN TAX SAVER FUND OR FDR UPTORS.150000/- SUGGEST ME

Ans: There are special bank FDs for 5 years which are called as tax saving FDs. They have same characteristics as any other 5 year FDs but are locked in for 5 years. Tax Saver Funds are the ELSS (Equity Linked Saving Funds) Mutual Funds which invest 100% in equity, are locked in for 3 years and will give market linked returns, which in general have been higher than bank FDs. ELSS are also tax efficient. You need to decide how much volatility are you prepared to take and then invest accordingly.

I am 63 yrs old i received rs 9 lakhs from fd where to invest for monthly income minimum 5000 pm for personal
Ans: Given your age and the desire for a steady monthly income of Rs. 5,000 from your investment of Rs. 9 lakhs, you may want to consider options that prioritize stability and regular income.

Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS): SCSS is a government-backed savings scheme designed for individuals aged 60 years and above. It offers a fixed interest rate and provides quarterly payouts, making it suitable for generating regular income.
Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS): POMIS is another government-backed savings scheme that provides monthly interest payments. It offers a fixed interest rate, providing a reliable income source for retirees.
Fixed Maturity Plans (FMPs): FMPs are debt mutual funds that invest in fixed-income securities with a predetermined maturity date. They offer relatively stable returns and can be suitable for generating regular income.
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) from Debt Mutual Funds: You can consider investing in debt mutual funds and opt for a systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) to receive a fixed amount periodically. This allows you to potentially benefit from higher returns compared to traditional fixed-income instruments.
Annuity Plans: Annuity plans offered by insurance companies provide regular income payments in exchange for a lump sum investment. You can explore different annuity options to find one that meets your income requirements and preferences.
Before making any investment decision, carefully assess your income needs, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. Consider consulting with a Certified Financial Planner who can help you develop a personalized investment strategy tailored to your financial goals and circumstances.

I am engineer with 16 years of IT experience and now a break of 11 yrs. But in 11 yrs I had been taking Quantitative aptitude lectures as a visiting faculty in various engineering and MBA colleges and also done Mutual fund certification. I haven't been siting but doing many things professionally in last 11 yrs(In my subject of interest as Maths, Teaching, Finance, Accounting, Wealth Management). I was thinking of doing ESG certification. What kind of role I would get if i am CFA ESG certified.I am looking for Professionally and intellectually engaging role where I can contribute to Society. Not a very NGO type( I have tried working with few NGO's)
Ans: I won't recommend you to go for ESG certification unless you are having a background of Env. Engg and Environmental Impact Assessment. The certificate course of ESG is costly also. I would request you to open your own academy ( if off line not possible then online) and go for only one subject. Let me know your age.Focus only on one subject. You have explored many areas and now you are perplexed. Here the questions are assigned to me through rediffmail. So second time whether your question will come to me or not is not known to anyone of us. Due to the policy I can’t share my email ID and Phone Number. But I would request you to follow me in LINKEDIN and send request so that I can accept you, then through LINKEDIN I can counsel you in the future multiple times. Through LINKEDIN I will be readily and easily accessible. I have counselled and changed thousands of lives. As long as I am there I won’t allow you to be defeated. Mind that always I am there with you like an invisible shadow to show you the right career path.
