why are you not get term insurance firstly and health plan. then after think about investament
My Friend,
Leave all investment options aside. Focus on SIP’s.
It’s the best instrument for creating wealth.
Consider investing in following MF’s
HDFC TOP 200
IDFC PREMIER EQUITY FUND
BIRLA SUNLIFE FRONTLINE EQUITY FUND.
Start with SIP’s,the rest is all managable with little effort & money
Regards
3-4 mutual funds in SIPs(Rs 2000 each) to mix up with Large cap,mid cap for 2-3 years,
then start investing in direct equity.
Term Insurance policy
Medical insurance policy
I suggest not to go with any PPF,which is not liquid,build some emergency fund with sweep in fixed deposits.

1 crore as retirement amount is very less, my friend.
Please search what is inflation and what is its effect.
You should have that much corpus which should give you monthly income of at least 1 lakh post-retirement. Please correct the income (increase only) if someone disagrees.
i concur with ramesh’s views!
I think you have got it right very early in your age.. Good
My views ( 12 K saving )
1) Equity – Study and try hands at it ( Best possible returns if wisely invested). At your age if you dont have high liability you should take some highre risk – 3K / month
2) Mutual funds – 6 K / month ( 3 SIPS , Rs 2000 each )
3) PPF – 2k / month
4) Term insurance – 500 ( at your age you can get 25- 30 Lac insurance at around 4-5 K based on your liability)
5) Medical insurance – 500 ( Medical insurance, Individual or Family floater to cover your parents.This is not investment but a must )
I think if you do MF investment itself you will easily achieve 1 crore till you reach 60. But is 1 crore enough considering inflation , please revisit your goals.

@Nikhil.
Just for discussion part. (Do not take it personally). I have issues with all your suggestions!
1. Equity direct. Not advisable at all for him, since he has no knowledge about it. Actually, 95% of individual investors do not have the required knowledge to directly invest in equities. Best possible returns can easily turn in zero / bleak returns.
2. Why 3 funds and not 1? Invest in a single multicap fund, through smooth and rough times of market as well as the fund also.
3. PPF at such a young age. Less than inflation returns for long term growth does not work.
4. Without knowing the status of the financial dependency, I dont think insurance is advisable.
Well, I absolutely agree with the last point. 1 crore at 60 years (39 years in future).
Ramesh
I agree with what Ramesh says, particularly for direct equity investing and for PPF. Investing in direct equity without knowing much about equity investing and locking in money for 15 years in PPF at very young age are two very common mistakes people make.
Dear Rameshji,
I agree with your advice.
However I slightly differ with your opinion regarding investment in PPF. It cannot betaken as waste. After implementing DTC, PPF will be a beneficial choice for EEE regime. Considering its safety one cannot simply ignore it. One can start a PPF a/c and invest only Rs500/-as minimum amt per F.year to keep it going.

And though you have made efforts for learning, it is my sincere advise to get a decent financial planner for yourself. 🙂
