    Please let me know if there is any changes needs to be made ? Are the selected funds good ?

    1. You have good amount in debt funds, do you really want to invest in debt funds. Unless you want money for short term or for emergency money, avoid investing in debt funds. You can add more in large cap and mid-cap segment. Other funds are good

      1. I think you might be specifically telling about the Long Term Debt funds ?
        Because i heard that short term debt do help in cushioning short term volatility
