    Hi
    The bhima nivesh policy which was opened in my name 5 years back, was matured on this October 2015.

    While maturity proceed happend, they deducted 2% tax on total matutiry value.
    But as far as I remembered the matuity value was tax free.
    Can you tell me whether I need to pay tax further based on my income slabs
    Also please let me know whether I need to pay tax on premium as well or only on the interest that is accumulated.

    Or is it that since i opened account when rules were different, do I get a refund

    1. Hi VenkateshBhagavath

      This is very specific query which you should follow up with the concerned authority only. We wont be able to comment on that

    Hello Balaji,

    If you are looking for a quick fix for all your goals then please do not read further you will not have anything down.

    I am not an expert, but would like to give some things which i feel.

    1) Jago Investor as a website and forum give lots of handful information.
    2) Read the book Jago Investor Change your relationship with Money.

    Why all this because the information you provided has lots of clutters.
    With Clutters, No Solution will make you happy and Nothing will make you feel comfortable.
    If you are ready to pay for the financial planner go and pay your financial planner. Improving your financial knowledge will be your long time asset.

      1. Dear K Balaji, congratulations for the clear statement – Why did you join this forum. What dear Lakshmipathy G wanted to tell you is – sit in peace. Think over your situation & start linking the dots of your financial life. In the process, if you are finding it difficult to do it on your own, you may take help of a paid financial planner.

        I do not know that why do you write –
        Quote
        “as for financial planner.. i dont have such plan …”

        Unquote
        Is it due to the fee issues or the trust factor on an unknown person or your belief in your own that you can sort all these things out. Please share your views.

        Thanks

      2. Goals :How to create
      Reading this book Jago Investor Change your relationship with Money might help.

      There are too many things to be worked for you, like
      1. how much money you should invest and save for your goals.
      2. How to surrender your insurance policies if needed
      3. How to go for a term insurance. If so given the lots of options which one to go for?
      4. How to choose the right investment vehicle as per your risk appetite and cash flow.
      5. Tax planning.
      Still lot more things.

      Having said that as you do not want to go for financial planner.

    1. Dear K Balaji, What’s ok? I’m unable to keep track of you. Please do not mind, but can you tell me your thought process – wjy you are thinking for Insurance policies only as a solution for all your financial problems?

      I’m ready to help you. But to help you, I need your help to understand what is your real problem.

      Please open up.

      Thanks

        hi Ashal

        Problem is that am unable to plan my saving in proper way, and u only asked the if i am no more that what my family will get interms of financial backup hence i thought get the term policy with immediate effect.
        rest give the solution on proper way for savings.

        I have planned to save atleast 5k every month, tell me how to go about this. If you want i will try to stretch another 2k in a month. this is the current situation.

        1) i dont have any emergency fund to take for immediate help – give me your suggestion to take care this first.

        2) for my child education and her future

        3) for future retirement plan

        anything else u required pl let me know i definetly will provide the data.

        thanks

        K Balaji

        1. Dear K Balaji, now we are going on right track. As you admitted you do not have any emergency funding. Saving for this emergency fund, should be your first priority. A simple way is to open a bank RD account & keep investing 5-6-7K Rs. on mly basi for next 6 Months. Once this RD of 6 months is over, open another one & at the same time use maturity amount of 1st RD to create an FD.

          By the way, you did not answer the question – Why are you thinking only insurance policies for saving & investment?

          Thanks

          Ashal

            Hi Anshal
            I have already mentioned that my saving accoutn is not more than 15k as of today. i dont know how u missed that line in my initial question

            i dont think that insurance is the way.. am just asking you to get a flavour.

            thts why i mentioned can u suggest me for other source.

            if u say MF. i mentioned earlier dont hv knwldge about these and started reading the forum conversation on these subject getting to know the details for the last 1 week.

            K Balaji

          2. Dear K Balaji, I hope the emergency funding creation part is over (Bank Rd & Fd later on). Now comes the insurance part to secure the financial risk of your family in your absence.

            For that, please purchase a Term cover of at least 15 times of your yly income + Loan liabilities if any.

            Check your own requirement on this parameter.

            For investment, please opt pure investment products like MFs or PPF or FDs.

            Thanks

    thanks

    K Balaji
