I have taken a home loan from DHFL in 2011 and have been regularly paying my EMIs. Now that RBI has referred DHFL to NCLT for insolvency proceedings, what happens to my home loan account?

Will all my original documents of mortgaged property be safe with DHFL?

Now that DHFL has been referred for insolvency proceedings, will DHFL reduce interest rates as and when RBI cuts rates or should I switch my home loan to any other bank?

Hoping for a response from your end.

Ans: You need to continue paying the EMI as and when due. It is extremely unlikely that you will ever get any relief in interest rates while DHFL is in insolvency. You are best advised to shift your loan to a bank (and not a HFC) as they lend on the transparent external benchmark basis.

Good Morning Sir, I'm partha working in Indian Railway as Clerk, sir i have 15 lakhs Loan in different banks. i'm fedup paying EMI's. Bank of Baroda agreed to give loan of 16 lakhs. my question is should i clear all Pending Loans and be free from Dedts or shall i construct 1st floor on my home with loan.what decision should i take sir
Ans: Partha,

Firstly, I truly understand the weight of the burden you're carrying with those EMIs. It's a challenging phase to constantly manage multiple debts. It's commendable that you're considering taking a step towards managing it better.

When faced with such a decision, it's essential to ask yourself what brings you peace of mind and long-term stability. Clearing off existing loans can offer a sense of relief, freeing you from the constant worry of repayments. Imagine the freedom from monthly obligations; isn't that a tempting thought?

On the other hand, investing in expanding your home sounds like a dream many of us have. It's not just about adding another floor; it's about creating more space for memories, growth, and family gatherings. But here's a thought - will this new construction enhance your quality of life significantly? And will it bring you closer to your long-term goals?

As a Certified Financial Planner, my suggestion would be to prioritize your financial freedom first. Once you clear those debts, you'll find it easier to focus on building a secure future. Remember, financial stability often brings along peace of mind and the freedom to dream bigger.

Take your time, weigh your options, and make a decision that aligns with your peace and future aspirations.

Hi Mam, Hope you are doing well. I am very worried about my son who is now 12.5 years old and studying in 7th standard in a very reputed school. Since childhood, he has no interest in studies, unless we doesn't seat in front of him, he doesn't study. Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class and the result is he doesn't get good marks in the exam. When we scold him for studies, he does it for that particular time only and then get back to his non-interest mode again and start to run from studies. He will play video games, goes to play around with his friends, he will find some or the other reason for not doing studies or homework. The irony is that he is not interested in any sports or any other kind of activities. In every summer holidays, we make him to join some sports or music classes, but there also he doesn't show interest and do things just for the sake of showing. From last year, we have started sending him to tuitions also, but no change in attitude. This year we have found a teacher of his reputed school who is retired and taking tuitions, we are sending him to her and she is charging a big amount for tuitions. please guide how can we change his attitude and make him more serious in any activity he does as he doesn't have interest in anything (we have observed doing everything we can).
Ans: Hello Sunil!!

I am doing great, thank you for asking, God bless you!

I can totally understand when you say you are worried.

Your son is 12.5, he will soon be a teenager. There will be different challenges, I want you to read up on parenting a teenager and be ready to handle him well.

The problem as I see it is that everyone of you, his teachers included have made studies like a burden for him.... and subjected the young child to a lot of anxiety, he just wants to run away form it....
"Every teacher from his kindergarten days upto now has the same complaint that he is doesn't pay attention in class".... this statement of yours... it is the teacher's duty to ensure the child listens to him/her, how can she start labeling a child like this. From a young age your son has been conditioned to believe that he is not not good in studies, he doesn't focus and he doesn't sit in one place. All my sympathies are with your son...every child comes with immense potential and it's our duty as parents and teachers to nurture the child.

The following is what I propose so that we bring him back to loving to learn ( not score marks, that should never be the barometer)-
1. Love your child the way he is now
2. Give him lot of positive strokes
3. Have one on one sessions for any activity you plan for him... let him choose the activity, empower him
4. choose a teacher, who can get along with him and help him develop a positive attitude towards studies and life in general
5. look for a school where they nurture him... not just a reputed one...less number of students and a teacher who is invested in her/ his students,

If you can connect with me, I can help him. Have had many a students in this kind situation.
