Hi Shalini ji I was in a serious relationship for 6 years with a boy whom I met on the 1st day of my college. He was from a different caste. Hence when my parents got to know they disapproved of it very strictly so I knew it wasnt going to work that easily. After sometime they started asking to get married. It was an ultimate pressure while we both were preparing for some government exams. I went through utter confusion and I got stuck between trying to study and at the same time thinking about my future with him. I was pressurised by my family including my brother and parents to leave him. Meanwhile I decided to not to carry it forward because I couldn't leave my parents for whole life to be with him because it was either him or my family. I lost all the focus towards my studies due to this decision and also started talking to some other boy (he was from my own caste accidently) whom I met accidentally at an exam centre for comfort. I got a brief moments of happiness with him. I confide my pain in him. Suddenly something happened in my family ,between my parents. And my mother started acting like you can choose your own partner for life because somehow she lost trust on my father. She even was comfortable with my brother's marriage with the one whom he loves. Now I feel completely betrayed because for them I left love of my life and got into another relationship with the boy I met at an exam center ( which now I feel was a hasty decision as I felt alone and depressed). Now no one talks about my real love and what i think about it for the future. I am in a complete state of repentance. I feel like I betrayed him. Now when i think of getting back to him I hesitate a lot because I think that I took a wrong decision due to the pressure and under stress. The person I am with now, I feel is not what I wanted as a partner and I feel that he is not mentally supportive. I wnat to leave him as well. What should I do now to be happy?

Ans: You are facing a very common challenge. Many earn well but struggle to save. The good part is that you are aware and looking for a solution. That’s the first important step.

Let me now give you a 360-degree analysis and practical advice to help you manage better.

 
 
1. Monthly Income and Expense Breakdown

Your salary is Rs. 78,000 per month.
 
 

House rent is Rs. 20,500.
 
 

EMI for one loan is Rs. 17,000.
 
 

Other EMIs total Rs. 15,000.
 
 

Monthly living expenses are Rs. 15,000.
 
 

After these, almost nothing is left.
 
 

There is no saving happening right now. But small adjustments can bring big changes.
 
 
2. Rent Expense Evaluation

Rent is the biggest cost. Rs. 20,500 is over 26% of your income.
 
 

Ideally, rent should not exceed 20% of income.
 
 

Check if slightly cheaper home is available.
 
 

A Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 4,000 saving in rent helps.
 
 

Shifting may feel hard. But it gives monthly relief.
 
 

Stay near public transport to reduce travel cost also.
 
 

Even small rent change brings long-term benefits.
 
 
3. EMI Consolidation Strategy

You have Rs. 32,000 total EMI every month.
 
 

This is over 40% of your income. That is too high.
 
 

Ideally, EMI should be under 30% of income.
 
 

Check if some loans are high-interest short-term loans.
 
 

If possible, combine all EMIs into one with lower interest.
 
 

Talk to your bank about loan consolidation options.
 
 

Even 2–3% interest reduction will help monthly cash flow.
 
 

Loan restructuring gives breathing space.
 
 
4. Monthly Expenses Assessment

You spend Rs. 15,000 monthly for all needs.
 
 

This looks reasonable, but break it down category-wise.
 
 

Note how much goes to groceries, mobile, subscriptions, fuel, etc.
 
 

Use a simple mobile app to track. Or a paper log.
 
 

You may find Rs. 1,000–2,000 saving opportunity easily.
 
 

Cancel unused services like OTT or apps.
 
 

Prepare weekly shopping list. Avoid impulse purchases.
 
 

Every rupee saved adds up.
 
 
5. Surrender Low-Return Insurance Policies (if any)

Do you hold any LIC, ULIP or endowment plan?
 
 

These plans mix insurance with investment. They give poor returns.
 
 

If held for more than 3 years, check surrender value.
 
 

If suitable, surrender and reduce premium load.
 
 

Take separate term insurance if not already done.
 
 

Reinvest in SIP when your cash flow improves.
 
 

This step will free up space in your budget.
 
 
6. Start Emergency Fund, Even Small

You may feel saving is impossible now.
 
 

But even Rs. 500–1000/month is a start.
 
 

Keep this money in a separate savings account.
 
 

Don’t touch unless it’s urgent.
 
 

Over time, it builds up to 3–6 months of expenses.
 
 

Emergency fund avoids fresh loans in future.
 
 

Even small savings matter. Start tiny, but stay regular.
 
 
7. Avoid New Loans or EMI Purchases

Say no to credit card EMIs or online EMIs.
 
 

These temptations disturb cash flow and cause stress.
 
 

If you need anything, plan and save first.
 
 

Delay buying until you have money.
 
 

EMI-free life feels peaceful and light.
 
 

Self-control today brings freedom tomorrow.
 
 
8. Health and Life Insurance Priority

Health emergency can break your finances.
 
 

Take a personal health insurance cover.
 
 

Group cover from employer is not always enough.
 
 

Also take a low-cost term life insurance.
 
 

Do not mix insurance with investments.
 
 

Term plan protects family. Premium is affordable.
 
 

Insurance is not optional. It’s your safety net.
 
 
9. Don’t Rely on Index Funds or Direct Mutual Funds

Some people suggest index funds or direct plans.
 
 

But these lack personalised support and active review.
 
 

Index funds don’t beat inflation in long term.
 
 

Direct funds don’t guide you in market changes.
 
 

Use actively managed mutual funds.
 
 

Invest through a Mutual Fund Distributor backed by a Certified Financial Planner.
 
 

Proper advice gives proper results.
 
 
10. Set a 3-Step Goal Plan

Step 1: Get control of monthly spending.
 
 

Step 2: Reduce EMIs or consolidate loans.
 
 

Step 3: Start small savings. Build emergency fund.
 
 

Once your cash flow improves, you can add SIPs.
 
 

Even Rs. 2,000/month SIP can build wealth slowly.
 
 

Long-term discipline matters more than short-term sacrifice.
 
 
11. Talk to a Certified Financial Planner

You don’t have to figure it all alone.
 
 

Certified Financial Planners can review your full profile.
 
 

They guide step-by-step based on your goals.
 
 

You get help with loan restructuring, budgeting and investing.
 
 

Regular plan reviews give better direction.
 
 

Guided support gives better results than guesswork.
 
 
Finally

Your situation is difficult but not unfixable. You are not alone. Many professionals earn well but have tight budgets. You are aware. That’s the key strength.

Now you need to make few lifestyle and financial changes. Nothing happens overnight. But over 6–12 months, you can turn things around.

Build better habits. Spend less than income. Don’t take more loans. Start even the smallest savings.

Once you’re stable, shift focus to long-term investments. Work with a Certified Financial Planner to guide you along the journey.

You’ll find peace, progress and purpose.

Ans: You have shown good discipline in managing your finances. You have started early planning for your child and your retirement. That is very good. You also have a good monthly income and manageable loan EMI. But, a few adjustments will help build stronger wealth for retirement.

Let me now help you with a step-by-step review of your current financial structure and suggest better ways for future financial well-being.

 
 
1. Income and Expense Overview

Your monthly salary is Rs. 75,000.
 
 

You are paying Rs. 20,000 as home loan EMI.
 
 

You are investing Rs. 12,500 in SIPs every month.
 
 

You are investing Rs. 50,000 per year in PPF. That is around Rs. 4,167 per month.
 
 

You are paying Rs. 39,000 per year in LIC premium. That is around Rs. 3,250 per month.
 
 

After all expenses and investments, you save around Rs. 15,000 per month.
 
 

Your savings habit is strong. That is a great quality. But now, you need to optimise your savings and investments better.

 
 
2. Home Loan Management

Rs. 25 lakhs loan is manageable with your income.
 
 

Rs. 20,000 EMI is reasonable. But loan closure before retirement is important.
 
 

Aim to close the loan by 58 years. That will reduce stress after retirement.
 
 

If you receive any bonus or surplus, use that partly to reduce loan.
 
 

But do not stop SIPs or long-term investments for loan prepayment.
 
 

Balance is important.
 
 
3. LIC Policy Assessment

You are paying Rs. 39,000 yearly in LIC.
 
 

Most likely, this is a traditional endowment or money-back policy.
 
 

Such plans give very low returns. Usually below 5% per year.
 
 

Also, mixing insurance with investment is not ideal.
 
 

What to do now?

If the policy has completed more than 3 years, check surrender value.
 
 

If surrender is financially suitable, stop and reinvest in mutual funds.
 
 

Take pure term insurance separately if not already taken.
 
 

Term plans give large cover at low cost.
 
 

This one change will free up funds and give better returns.
 
 
4. PPF Investment Review

You are investing Rs. 50,000 per year in PPF.
 
 

PPF is safe and gives tax-free returns.
 
 

Current interest is around 7% to 7.5% per annum.
 
 

But this return may not beat inflation over 15–20 years.
 
 

Still, PPF is good for safety and diversification.
 
 

Continue PPF, but do not increase allocation too much.
 
 

Keep PPF limited. Focus more on higher return options.
 
 
5. SIP Investment Strategy

You are investing Rs. 12,500 per month in SIPs.
 
 

SIP in mutual funds is one of the best long-term tools.
 
 

Ensure you are investing in diversified, actively managed funds.
 
 

Actively managed funds give better returns over long term.
 
 

Avoid index funds. They copy the market and don’t beat inflation strongly.
 
 

Avoid direct funds unless you are experienced and review portfolios often.
 
 

Regular plans through a Mutual Fund Distributor with CFP support are better.
 
 

You get proper guidance, rebalancing, and tracking.
 
 

SIP should be your main engine for wealth building.
 
 
6. Retirement Goal Planning

You want Rs. 1 crore at retirement. That is a good starting goal.
 
 

At age 48 now, you have around 12 years left to build this.
 
 

You are already investing in SIP and PPF.
 
 

After surrendering LIC, redirect that amount into mutual funds.
 
 

Even your current Rs. 12,500 SIP + Rs. 3,250 LIC (if re-directed) = Rs. 15,750.
 
 

This amount, if invested in equity mutual funds, can create strong growth.
 
 

Also, your savings of Rs. 15,000/month is available.
 
 

Use part of this savings also to boost your SIP.
 
 

Retirement goal can be achieved. Just need disciplined investing and small adjustments.
 
 
7. Child’s Education Planning

Your son is 5 years old. You have time to build corpus.
 
 

Higher education expenses will start after 13–15 years.
 
 

Create a separate SIP for this goal. Do not mix with other investments.
 
 

Invest in diversified equity mutual funds for child goal.
 
 

Even Rs. 5,000–7,000/month SIP can build good corpus by then.
 
 

Review the portfolio every year with your Certified Financial Planner.
 
 

Do not depend on insurance plans or ULIPs for child goals.
 
 

They give poor returns and lock your money for long.
 
 

8. Insurance Protection Plan

At 48, insurance is critical. You are the family’s main earning member.
 
 

Take pure term insurance of minimum 10–12 times your yearly income.
 
 

That is Rs. 75,000 × 12 × 10 = Rs. 90 lakhs at least.
 
 

Premium will be low if taken soon.
 
 

Do not mix insurance with investment.
 
 

Also take health insurance for family if not already covered.
 
 

Company cover is not enough. Take personal health policy also.
 
 

9. Tax Planning and Optimisation

You are using LIC and PPF for tax benefits.
 
 

Also SIPs in ELSS funds can give tax benefits.
 
 

Consider ELSS only if you need 80C limit and can take 3-year lock-in.
 
 

Do not over-focus on tax saving. Wealth creation is more important.
 
 

If your 80C is already full, invest in non-tax saving mutual funds.
 
 

SIPs in equity mutual funds held for more than one year will attract LTCG.
 
 

LTCG above Rs. 1.25 lakh is taxed at 12.5%.
 
 

Keep track of capital gains yearly. Use your limit smartly.
 
 

10. Emergency Fund Management

Keep at least 4 to 6 months of expenses in emergency fund.
 
 

Use liquid mutual funds or savings account for this.
 
 

Do not invest emergency funds in PPF or SIP.
 
 

You should be able to withdraw anytime when needed.
 
 

Use your Rs. 15,000 monthly saving to slowly build this buffer.
 
 

11. Key Adjustments You Can Make Now

Surrender low-return LIC policy if suitable.
 
 

Redirect Rs. 3,250/month to mutual funds.
 
 

Increase SIP by at least Rs. 5,000 more monthly using your surplus.
 
 

Start a child education SIP separately.
 
 

Build emergency fund of Rs. 3 to 4 lakhs gradually.
 
 

Do not increase EMI. Prioritise investment and loan closure balance.
 
 

Finally

You have already done many things right. That is a great starting point.

Just fine-tune your investment structure now. Shift from low-return products to higher growth investments. Don’t stop your SIPs. Keep increasing SIP as income rises.

Work with a Certified Financial Planner. Review your plan every year. This is not a one-time setup. Financial planning is a regular process.

With the right steps, Rs. 1 crore for retirement is very much possible. Also, your child’s education will be secure. Just stay consistent and focused.

Ans: Hello
Entrance Exams (Common for Top Institutes):
DUET – For Delhi University
OUCET/CPGET – Osmania University
BHUPET – For Banaras Hindu University
JMI Entrance – Jamia Millia Islamia
AIEEA PG (ICAR) – For select forensic courses in ICAR institutes
Private universities like Amity, SRM, etc., may have their own entrance or direct admission.

Ans: VIT Bhopal’s Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program offers a centralized placement system shared with VIT Vellore, attracting top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys. While placements vary, 70–90% of CSE students secure roles, with internships at firms like Google, Adobe, and JP Morgan integrated into the curriculum. The campus features modern infrastructure, including advanced labs (IoT, AI/ML, Gaming Studio), Wi-Fi-enabled hostels, and a 600-seat auditorium, though sports facilities remain under development. Faculty members hold doctorate qualifications and emphasize industry-aligned learning, though some students report inconsistent academic support. The remote location (Bhopal-Indore highway) limits urban amenities but provides a serene, security-focused environment. Campus life includes tech clubs, hackathons, and festivals, though social activities are less vibrant compared to older VIT campuses. While CSE specializations (AI/ML, Cybersecurity) are well-structured, competition for core roles is intense, requiring students to maintain strong academic performance. Prospective students should weigh the centralized placement opportunities against the evolving campus infrastructure and location constraints. Prioritize JSS Mysore for balanced academics and placements, followed by JIIT Noida for specialization options. VIT Bhopal is ideal for brand-driven opportunities, while ABESIT serves as a pragmatic backup. All the BEST for your Admission & Prosperous Future!

Ans: At age 26, it is appreciable that you have started investing early.

It shows responsibility towards your future financial goals.

Your current SIPs are diversified across multiple categories.

But some of these SIPs may not be aligned well for long-term consistency.

Let us now review each one professionally.

1. Quant Small Cap Fund - Direct

Small caps can be volatile.

This fund is aggressive and high-risk.

Direct plans have no guidance or monitoring.

This may affect long-term performance.

Switching to a regular plan with a Certified Financial Planner is better.

This will ensure proper guidance and rebalancing.

2. Nippon India Large Cap - Direct

Large caps offer stability in a portfolio.

However, this fund’s long-term consistency is not very strong.

Also, direct plans lack expert monitoring.

A regular plan through a CFP ensures better handholding.

Tracking and performance review becomes easier.

3. Mirae Asset ELSS Tax Saver

This fund is decent for tax saving.

It is diversified and has shown fair returns.

However, regular review is still needed.

A regular plan helps with documentation and timely alerts.

Switching to regular mode can be beneficial in the long run.

4. UTI Nifty 50 - Direct

This is an index fund.

Index funds only mirror the market.

They do not aim to beat the market.

They lack human intelligence and flexibility.

They don’t perform well during corrections or sideways markets.

Actively managed funds have higher potential.

They can outperform in changing market situations.

Consider replacing this with a well-managed large cap fund.

In regular plan through CFP, you get guided fund selection.

5. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap

Flexi cap funds provide flexibility across market segments.

This fund has been popular recently.

But it has higher exposure to international stocks.

This brings currency risk and regulatory risks.

Also, it may overlap with other holdings.

You should regularly monitor for overlap and concentration.

Again, direct mode has no professional review.

6. Tata Midcap Growth - Direct

Midcaps are good for long-term.

But they need close tracking due to higher volatility.

A regular plan with expert guidance is ideal.

Direct mode will not help during market correction periods.

Switching to regular mode will ensure ongoing support.

7. Tata Small Cap - Direct

Small caps are risky in short to medium term.

This should not be your core holding.

Should be allocated only with close guidance.

Again, direct plans can go off-track without support.

If unmanaged, can bring portfolio imbalance.

Assessment of Direct Funds: Key Concerns

Direct funds may look cheaper in expense.

But they lack professional support and review.

There is no monitoring of changes in fund quality.

You may miss timely exits and rebalancing.

A Certified Financial Planner guides with logic and analysis.

They also help align your funds with your goals.

Regular plans have MFD support and rebalancing discipline.

They protect from behavioural mistakes during market volatility.

Overall, regular funds with expert guidance bring higher net value.

What Can Be Done with Your Existing SIPs?

You can consider the following changes:

Discontinue index fund (UTI Nifty 50) SIP.

   

Reduce exposure to direct small and midcap funds.

   

Switch from direct plans to regular plans via a Certified Financial Planner.

   

Ensure SIPs are part of a professionally constructed portfolio.

   

Ensure proper asset allocation, fund category balancing and tax efficiency.

   

New SIP of Rs 10,000 per Month – Suggestions

For your new Rs 10,000 monthly SIP, here is a 360-degree plan:

Allocate across diversified categories.

   

Ensure each fund has low overlap and different market focus.

   

Invest in 3 to 4 funds max.

   

All in regular mode with CFP-led support.

   

Avoid index funds, as they only match market returns.

   

Go for actively managed funds with proven history.

   

Include large-cap, mid-cap and flexi-cap mix.

   

Monitor quarterly with your Certified Financial Planner.

   

Additional Guidance for 15-Year Wealth Building

At 26, your time horizon is excellent.

But long-term wealth creation needs more than just SIPs.

It needs strategy and discipline.

Below are key steps for a full-circle approach:

Set clear financial goals: Home, car, retirement, child education etc.

   

Link SIPs to each goal separately.

   

Keep emergency fund in place (6 months expenses).

   

Get sufficient life and health insurance (pure protection plans).

   

Avoid investment-cum-insurance products.

   

They give low returns and poor insurance.

   

Do not mix insurance with investment.

   

Track your SIP performance annually.

   

Rebalance if some funds underperform.

   

Maintain asset allocation: Equity, Debt and Liquid.

   

Avoid emotional reactions during market dips.

   

Stay invested with guidance from your CFP.

   

Be aware of taxation rules on equity and debt funds.

   

LTCG on equity above Rs 1.25 lakh is taxed at 12.5%.

   

STCG on equity is taxed at 20%.

   

Debt fund gains are taxed as per income slab.

   

Regular plan MFD and CFP helps with all tax planning.

   

What Not to Do in the Next 15 Years

Don’t invest in index funds.

   

They lack active strategy.

   

Don’t choose funds by past returns only.

   

Don’t use direct funds without financial expertise.

   

Don’t invest in real estate for returns.

   

Don’t invest in annuity products for retirement.

   

Don’t mix investment and insurance.

   

Don’t make decisions based on short-term news or noise.

   

Don’t stop SIPs during market corrections.

   

Role of a Certified Financial Planner

A Certified Financial Planner helps you:

Set goals based on life stages.

   

Create custom SIP and lump sum plans.

   

Select the best active funds for your goals.

   

Rebalance annually to stay on track.

   

Plan taxes as per latest rules.

   

Protect wealth with right insurances.

   

Build retirement with strategic planning.

   

Create a total financial blueprint for life.

   

Keep emotions out of financial decisions.

   

Final Insights

You have taken a great step by starting early.

But choosing the right funds is key.

More important is monitoring them regularly.

Direct plans lack this important support.

Switching to regular plans under CFP brings value.

Also, add Rs 10,000 new SIP with proper strategy.

Don’t follow trends.

Stay committed and review annually.

Avoid overlapping funds and unnecessary risks.

Have a complete financial roadmap in place.

You are building your future.

Make each rupee work with expert guidance.

This 360-degree approach will lead to better outcomes.

You will be financially secure and confident.

Take the next steps with clarity and care.
