Question by Rahul on Aug 02, 2022Hindi

Money

From where can I get a loan for home and how can I repay the loan quickly?

Ans: For anyone looking to buy a new home, there are a number of options available in the market. However, no matter where you get a home loan from, the tenure of repayment is likely to be roughly around 15-25 years.

Repaying your home loan quickly is a very smart move as you can stand to make huge amounts of savings on interest outflow. By making small regular prepayments over and above your EMI every month, you could stand to save lakh of money in interest payments and repay your home loan months in advance.

The facility to make prepayments without any extra charge should be a key criterion in selection for a lender.

Question by Himanshee - Aug 02, 2022Hindi

Money

I am looking for a home loan which gives a full loan for buying a house. What advice do you have for me? Gaurav Mohta: Most lenders can only pay you a maximum of 80 per cent of the property value. The remaining 20 per cent must come from your side as down payment since it gives the lender the belief that you too have a skin in the game for the purchase. My advice to you would be to actually pay as much down payment as you can from your side to get a better deal on rate of home loan interest and thereby lower interest payments.

Mutual Funds, Financial Planning Expert - Answered on Dec 30, 2024

Question by Abhijeet - Dec 30, 2024Hindi

Money

How to finish home loan faster

Ans: Paying off your home loan early while building wealth requires strategic planning. A parallel SIP in equity mutual funds can complement your goal by leveraging market growth over the long term. Here's a detailed approach:

1. Start a SIP in Equity Mutual Funds
Invest monthly in a diversified equity mutual fund for a period of 7+ years.
Equity funds historically offer higher returns over long periods, outpacing home loan interest rates.
Align your SIP amount with your financial capacity, ensuring consistency.
2. Time the Loan Closure with SIP Maturity
Use the maturity value of the SIP to make a lump sum prepayment towards your loan.
Ensure the investment horizon of the SIP is long enough to mitigate market volatility.
A 7-10 year SIP period can yield significant growth due to the power of compounding.
3. Continue Regular EMI Payments
Maintain your regular EMIs while running the SIP.
Do not compromise on timely loan payments to avoid penalties.
The parallel strategy reduces your loan tenure effectively when executed with discipline.
4. Focus on High-Interest Loan Years
Prepayments made during the initial years have the highest impact on interest savings.
Coordinate your SIP maturity during this time to maximise loan repayment benefits.
5. Leverage Tax Benefits on Both Ends
Claim tax deductions under Section 80C and Section 24(b) for home loan payments.
Equity mutual funds held for over a year qualify for long-term capital gains tax benefits.
Use the tax savings to either increase your SIP or make additional prepayments.
6. Step-Up Your SIP Amount Annually
Increase your SIP amount by 10-15% every year to match income growth.
A higher SIP contribution accelerates wealth accumulation for loan repayment.
7. Avoid Premature Withdrawal from SIP
Do not redeem SIP investments prematurely unless used for loan closure.
The longer you stay invested, the higher the growth potential.
8. Track Loan Tenure and SIP Performance
Regularly review your loan outstanding and SIP performance.
Align your repayment strategy with market conditions and financial goals.
9. Focus on Financial Discipline
Avoid new liabilities while managing your home loan and SIP.
Stick to a budget that prioritises both EMI payments and SIP contributions.
10. Plan for Surplus Investments
Channel any bonuses, tax refunds, or additional income into either SIPs or loan prepayments.
Small additional investments can significantly enhance your repayment capability.
Final Insights
Starting a parallel SIP in equity funds while paying regular EMIs creates a structured pathway to close your home loan early. Over time, the compounded growth from your SIP can ease the financial burden of a lump sum loan prepayment. This balanced strategy ensures financial growth and reduced debt simultaneously.

my mom and dad knows about me and my boyfriend .. me and my bf have never had anything sexual or something ever . but my mom the other day saw a pic of him and me in which he had his hand on my waist ans she had it up all against me she started saying all those mean thing and comparing me with the other girls who become physical in relationship . what do i do

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you are in a tricky situation. First, let's acknowledge that couples who decide to get intimate are not "bad." Their choice is just different from yours. You can try to explain the same to your mother- though it will be tough, everyone needs to understand this. Secondly, in this situation, all you can do is let her know that her upbringing will never allow you to lie to your mom or cross boundaries that will hurt her and your dad. This way, you might be able to regain her trust.
Best Wishes.

Relationship

What types of questions should I asked to a boy on the first meeting??

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
There is no hard and fast rule that you have to ask a certain set of questions. You can ask anything you like- things that are important to you, deal breakers, attributes you would want in your partner, etc. Anything that isn't rude, or too intrusive is okay. For instance, you can ask him what are his hobbies, passions, and career plans; does he like to travel, what are his values, his religious and political stance, does he drink or smoke, is he outgoing or loves to spend most of his time indoors, family plans, does he want kids, etc. These are all questions that will help you get a better picture of who this person is- but most importantly, let the conversation flow on its own. You do not have to make a questionnaire. You will get a fair idea of what to ask once you start talking.
Hope this helps.

Relationship

I am a 20 years old guy and in my past romantic relationships, have shown signs of emotional instability, too much dependency and lack of awareness of boundaries which affected my relationships badly...I hadn’t interacted with people in a long while since 2020 (precisely when lockdown had started) and feel that some aspects of my personality are not developed fully as they should be at this age. How to work on this? Also, i have noticed that I am able to create a good first impression but it soon pales and I feel like I am subtly disrespected or talked down to, and this has been happening in all interactions...i am always respectful (often to a fault!) and even have people pleasing tendencies...i sometimes ask immature weird questions and that might probably be the reason (but they’re never inappropriate)...but i do want to gain insights into why i am experiencing what i am and how to navigate this situation well so that I can maintain healthy relationships in future. Thanks you!

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First of all, I want you to understand that it is no small feat to realize the quirks and imperfections in ourselves- you have done it. Your effort to understand and rectify them deserves to be acknowledged and appreciated.
Now, coming to your question, I can only give you some general advice on each-
Emotional instability and dependency- these behavioral patterns can stem from various factors; it can be a lack of confidence or some past issues that are left unresolved. It is difficult for me to tell you exactly why it is happening. It can also arise from a lack of validation. To manage it, you can focus on self-regulation- like meditation or journaling whenever you feel these emotions rising. This way you are expressing them but not damaging your relationships. Take up new hobbies or goals. Achieving milestones can build confidence.
Navigating Boundaries- You can speak to your partner in the early stage of the relationship to understand their boundaries. This way there will be clarity and you won't overstep. You can set up some boundaries too.
For better interpersonal skills, you can proactively follow some rules- like active listening, avoiding overthinking, asking open-ended questions, and resisting the urge to seek your partner's approval.
About the awkward questions- it is important to understand that you might perceive them as awkward, but the person opposite to you might think of it as a genuine curiosity. As long as it isn't intrusive or inappropriate, there are no awkward questions.
Like these, I can only offer you some general advice. But the best advice of them all would be to seek counseling. It has done wonders for people. And the first step, which is identifying the issues is already done. Bravo! What's wrong with taking a little professional help in navigating the next steps? They can guide you in a more structured manner.
Hope this helps.

Relationship

I’ve been in a relationship with a girl for the past 4 years, but due to various issues, things have become extremely complicated. Her father doesn’t approve of me, and my mother doesn’t like her either. Despite this, we’ve managed to stay together all these years. The problem is now escalating. My family is pressuring me to marry someone else, but I’m unable to leave her. At the same time, I feel I can’t marry her either because of her behavior and the ongoing issues with my family. I’ve tried to ask her to change certain things, but she hasn’t made any efforts in that direction. To make matters worse, her mother supports our relationship and trusts me, which makes it even harder for me to walk away. I don’t want her to marry someone else, but I also feel stuck because of my family’s expectations and the challenges in our relationship. Even If I leave her I don't know what she is going to do. What should I do in this situation to make the best decision for everyone involved?

Ans: it's crucial to reflect on what you truly want and need from a relationship. Ask yourself if this relationship brings you the happiness and fulfillment you seek, or if the challenges you face are too significant to overcome. It's important to differentiate between staying out of love and staying out of fear or obligation.

Talking to your partner openly is essential. Share your concerns honestly and listen to her perspective. If there are changes you've hoped for, express why they matter to you. At the same time, recognize that change is a two-way street—it requires effort and willingness from both sides. If she hasn't made efforts in the areas you've discussed, it may be worth considering whether this is a pattern that can be changed or a fundamental mismatch in expectations.

Your family's disapproval complicates things further, but it's important to remember that this is your life and relationship. While their opinions are significant, they shouldn't be the sole deciding factor in your happiness. Balancing respect for their wishes with your own needs is a delicate task, but ultimately, you need to make a decision that feels right for you.

If the relationship feels unsustainable despite your efforts, it may be time to consider a different path. It's understandable that you’re concerned about her well-being, especially given her mother's trust in you, but staying out of guilt or obligation can lead to further unhappiness for both of you. If you decide to part ways, doing so with kindness and honesty can help mitigate some of the hurt.

Ultimately, this decision is deeply personal. Weighing your feelings, the relationship dynamics, and your family's expectations will guide you toward a resolution that prioritizes your well-being and future happiness.

My age is 41 years. I have two kids. Nurturing n looking after them n whole home single handedly. I am a visiting faculty in a institute . Earns very nominal earning. My husband hits me, taunts me and use very arrogant words to me like tumhe belt se maarunga n similar many worst words. His family has been always unsupportive to me . Now after 16 years of marriage, he still wants me to please his mother n other family. Which I completely avoid as they have never supported me and always boycotted me. His real brother is in politics and all family members including his cousins do follow him and boycotted me n husband. Now for everything my husband blames me and says if you gave pleased them, all might have good. But inspite of pleasing them a lot , they are like treating me like I am a stranger. I handle n manage everything still by the end of the day.... everything is in vain. Husband says...What you did for home? I will never ever give my money to you and so on. I am literally in trouble thoughts, what to do ? I even many times thought to end my life but my kids are the reason I continuously bears everything. Please suggest what shall I do.

Ans: it's important to acknowledge that no one deserves to be treated with such disrespect and abuse. Your feelings of isolation and frustration are valid. It can feel overwhelming when the people who should support you instead make you feel like an outsider.

In situations like this, it’s crucial to find support outside the immediate family. Reach out to trusted friends, family members, or support groups who can offer you emotional strength and practical advice. Consider speaking with a counselor or therapist who can help you navigate these complex emotions and provide strategies for dealing with the abuse and stress.

You’ve shown immense resilience, especially for your children. They need you to be strong, and seeking help is a vital step in preserving your mental and emotional well-being. Remember, prioritizing your health is not selfish; it’s necessary for you and your children’s future.

Also, explore any legal avenues or resources available for individuals in abusive relationships. Local support organizations, legal aid, or women’s shelters can provide advice and assistance if you decide that leaving the relationship is the best option for your safety and well-being.

You have already shown great courage by managing so much on your own. Continue to seek out support and know that you are not alone in this journey. There are people and resources willing to help you find a path to a healthier and more secure life.

I am in debt trape around 8.5 lac with personal loan and credit card due

Ans: Hello;

What is your current monthly income?

Do you have any disposable asset?

Please take your family and friend circle into confidence and explain your difficult situation.

First priority should be to settle credit card dues since they have a very high rate of interest.

Remember the age old saying to cut your cloth according to your size.

Stop using credit cards since it cultivates tendency of reckless spending in the absence of rigorous discipline.

Henceforth do not borrow except for home loan, as far as possible.

I am investing in Quant active fund MF from last 12 months now and since then I am experiencing negative returns. should I stay invested or switch? If stay invested, then advise approx time to invest ?

Ans: Hello;

If you have invested for the long term(7+ years) then you should not get bogged down by such short term market volatility and drawdowns causing negative returns.

However some allegations of unfair practices against Quant AMC have surfaced.

In the backdrop of these events you may move your investment to another fund in the same category.

Happy Investing;
