Hi I took a home loan in 2013 and paid back the same before getting possession. During the period I paid around 270,000 inr as interest and zero principle. The loan was settled in 2015 and I travelled abroad for job. Now I returned to India in June 2023. Can I claim benefit in income tax for interest paid on loan during Pre EMI period after 8 years? As I was NRI I didn't claim any benefit in income tax.

Ans: Hi
Sanskruti, this question got assigned to me late. I hope your brother have appeared for the exam without any issue.

Ans: Hello
cracking neet requires much fewer marks than what you are scoring, hence you will qualify for the NEET, there is no doubt about it. For admission in a govt college seat, you need a 650+ score if from the open category or a private college seat you need 550+.
Good Deemed College seat requires 400+ marks
You need to analyse your test score, where you are making mistakes and what kind of mistakes they are & improve your weaker areas with every test.

Ans: Hello;

Assuming you keep aside 50 L for your kid's higher education, you will be left with corpus of 1.5 Cr.

If you invest this sum in equity savings type mutual fund with moderate risk rating and do SWP at 4% it won't generate income enough to cover your monthly expenses.

Recommend you to continue building corpus aggressively over next 5 years and review again.

Happy Investing;

Ans: Hello;

Yes you should settle off the outstanding home loan.

Also you may open an NPS account for retirement planning. Do contribute to it on a regular basis and also do onetime lumpsum investment.

Also open an PPF account with investment of 12.5 K per month.

Get sufficient term plan coverage for atleast 20 years and not less.

No need to invest in pension plan if you are investing in NPS. It is far superior in terms of tax liability, flexibility, returns and costs.

Prefer hybrid mutual funds(dynamic asset allocation or multi asset allocation fund)for your investments.

Buy a good health insurance cover for yourself and your daughter irrespective of group policy, if any, available from employer.

Do nomination in all your financial investments and also make a legally valid will.

In a nutshell, you will have 3 investments PPF, NPS and mutual funds (hybrid) and insurance premiums for term cover and healthcare policy.

Loss of partner is very difficult to deal with but you also need to focus on the education of your daughter and guide her for better prospects.

Best wishes;
