   Dear Jig, You may increase the same 8K Rs. in the form of added SIP on different dates in the same funds you are investing already.

   Thanks

   Dear Jig, For MFs, you w’d have to just notify your change of status from NRI to RI. that’s it. No problem. In case of FDs as these are NRE, in case you lose your NRI status, in my opinion, you w’d have to preclose the NRE FDs & then you w’d have to reopen the RI FDs. Please get this matter clear from your bank also.

   Thanks

   Thanks once again for your time and valuable inputs.

   If after few years my NRI status changed to Resident, How it will effect the FD investment as well as MF investments?

   Regards

   Jig

   Dear Jig, In case of land, a lot Ifs & buts are involved. Market may crash from the current level. No hike in prices from current level for next 5-7 years. The Govt. policy change may impact positively or negatively your land & it’s price. As you are not in India, who ‘ll take care of your land & what ‘ll happen if some one encroaches upon your land?

   If you are confident enough for your purchase decision. Please go ahead & purchase. Else, opt the FDs.

   Thanks

   Dear Jig as you are already investing through SIPs as well as having direct Eq. exposure. I w’d not ask you to put more money in Eq. as an asset class. For the amount you want to mention, from a guaranteed return point of view as well as liquidity & Taxation benefit, the NRE FD scores over Real estate. Also the ticket size is very small so I doubt you ‘ll be able to get a decent deal of property for that price point.

   Thanks

   Ashal
