Sir,
I was working in Private Company and retired in June last. I have not withdrawn my EPF amount because the govt has not credited the interest as on 31.03.2023 on my EPF amount. Shall I withdraw and invest it in any Fixed Deposit scheme? If I withdraw shall they calculate the interest and credit it to my account? Please advise.
Ans: You should withdraw your EPF(with interest)and invest in PMVVY, SCSS, Postal MIS(15, 30, 15, total 60L) since these come with sovereign safety.
Then look at FDs but prefer Big/Govt banks and do split it into small ticket size across banks.
Ensure adequate healthcare support for self and spouse in retirement.
SWP from MFs is also an option to get periodic payments from MF corpus but you will need advice from an MF advisor to plan this.
