    Dear Suman, why do you want to complicate the thing by putting 50000 Rs. as of now in a debt fund and later on SWP to an Eq. fund. As the amount is to be invested for your retirement which is around 17Y away. You can put the money in lump sum now in Eq. fund.

    Please read my above reply, I already provided the fund’s name.

    Thanks

    Dear Suman, as you mentioned earlier there is an old RD. Is it still running or not? By the way from your query it’s not clear that you are earning or saving from husband’s money?

    Please invest more into PPF to create a solid base out of your 7K. Remaining amount can be invested for long term in a large cal MF like Franklin India Bluechip.

    Thanks
