If I want to invest money in this bank ,if per month Rs 100 for ten years then what Wii be the total amount we get and at what rate is 7.5or8%
I am 25 yrs old IT professional with 30k take home salary and no loans. I have 1 lakhs as an emergency fund in my saving account. Please suggest do I need to increase the fund to 1.8 lakhs(6 months salary). Also, where should I keep my emergency fund. Should I continue to keep it in saving bank account.
Also, my total FD is 1.4 lakhs. and mutual fund investment is a 50k.
Hi Subhojit, Nice to hear about you. You don’t need to consider 6 month salary as emergency fund. But you can consider 6 months expenses as emergency fund. You can invest in debt funds or bank FD for that. Since you alreay have Rs 1.4 Lakhs in FD, check if this is sufficient for 6 months and balance invest in FD or debt funds.
I want to know more about it
Hi Suresh,
I am Skandha aged 56 years. I have a lump sum of 5 Lac and looking to invest in mutual funds which will give decent returns (around 12% per yr) with low risk but should not have locking period as I might need to withdraw the money anytime for any emergency purpose. Can you suggest best mutual funds to invest?
Hi Skandha, You cannot get guaranteed returns of 12% from mutual funds year on year. You can get such returns if you can invest for long term. You can invest in MIP mutual funds which can provide regular returns but not guaranteed. You can see this article.
