Me and my wife are both senior citizen. We need about Rs.30,000/M return on our investment on a regular basis. The investments should be safe and preferably in Government schemes. How much money we need to invest at a time and where? Thanks.
Sir, I have 16 Lakhs in my account inherited from my grandmom and want to keep the same in FD for a shorter period say 7 to 14 days only. I will prefer either SBI or Indian Bank as the ROI offered is around 7% up to 14 days and they are Public Sector Banks. My question is that whether the interest earned within this 7-14 days will be taxable and if it taxable then what will be the taxable amount???? I come under general income tax slab of 250000 Rs….Kindly revert. Thanks…..
For NRI, can invest 2 to 3 lakhs per annum for 10 years and would like to get 50 k / month, what would be the best investment? FD or Mutual fund?
Thank you & Take care

Invest in a combination of mutual funds and RD’s. Since NRE Fd schemes are being offered with highest tax free interest rates, you can invest in RD’s too
Hi suresh what is an RD ? when you do say highest returns what are we talking about … the highest ive got was 8.5% per anum
Hi If i keep 1 crore in FD how much interest i get after deducting all tds,
kindly also let me know after tds dedution will there be any other tax applicable.
i dont have any other income source.
It depends on your income tax slab. Which tax bracket you are in ?
Suresh,
Can you update the latest FD interest rates applicable and can a FD be started for new born if so what documents are required and how it is evaluated from tax perspective.
Thanks always,
Rajanandan,You can open a joint account between a minor child and you. However any interest received on such FD would attract “clubbing provisions of income tax” and you need to pay necessary income tax. Regarding other question about latest FD rates, I have written it and it is in que to be posted in next week.
