   Dear Krishna, please do not prepay your Car loan. Please use the amount to invest the way you are saying. After 5Y, your net return from Eq. and PPF ‘ll be better than the interest paid by you in all these 5Y.

   There is one more thing. When retail inflation is running @ 10+%, it’s sensible to continue your loan as net payment from you towards your loan is not very much due to impact of inflation.

   Thanks

   Hi Ashal,

   I am planning to invest this through mutual funds and PPF combined in 85:15 ratio.
   Also My loan tenure is 5 yrs and emi is around 4500 per month.

   Regards,
   Krishna

   why not use 50% of the fund to prepay your car loan and 50% of the fund to invest in your kids’ education?

   Dear Krishna,

   Paying off debt is advisable since one saves on the interest outgo by doing the same.

   In your case, you would have to understand if investing for your child’s education is a priority or repaying the auto loan. Also, the surplus of Rs. 90,000 could be utilized for generating income from mutual funds/fixed deposits etc. Evaluate these options before taking the next step of action.
