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.

Relationship
hi sir/maam I am 22 yrs old and my boyfriend is 28 yrs old. We both are in the same office right now and his home is very near from that. At this point, we've been in a relationship for 8 months. He is very emotional and understanding and always there for me. Nobody knows about us, only my friends do. I am not that serious but confused if i lose someone who had loved me this much. He asks about marriage but it would be intercaste so i say that parents would not approve this. My friends advice me to break up. I try to disconnect with him but as soon as I talk to him I fail to do. I feel like talking to him console him. The thing is I'll talk to my parents 2 yrs later but he asking for commitment as he is getting other marriage proposals and its the right time for him to get settle but for me, he's saying he's ready to wait only if i give commitment. My father has said once that study and become independent but never risk my self respect in this society. Should i risk my boyfriend's life by giving the commitment ? I'm confused because i think at this point im kind of girl that will adjust somehow atleast im getting a person who loves me alot, i also love him but he's more into this feeling. What should i do? Recently he's got a marriage proposal and his family is seriously asking for his answer but he was asking what i want? i asked him to consider that and directly said it will not be possible for me to commit but im still in dilemma- im losing sth imp, should i go for him?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand your dilemma. All I can say is that neither one of you is wrong here. He wants commitment before he decides to wait for you, and you want some more time. Both your requirements make perfect sense. My suggestion is that if you really think that you can't commit, you should clear that to him right away, and let him decide whether or not he is okay to go on like that. It's not fair to keep him hanging nor will it be right to make a decision for him. Give him clarity of the situation and let him decide.

In case you guys decide to break up, let him move on. I understand the urge to comfort him, but doing so, you are only going to stall his moving on process.

Hope this helps.
