Nag-For your information I am not the expert on that field. Better you consult some bloggers like shoutmeloud or someone. I waited for 6 months and contributed a constant flow of articles. After that I applied for it. For technical issues you can choose someone or google it.
Hi, I have opened a commodity account. I have given them my PAN card details. But in which account they will deposit profit amount, my father is named as primary holder then whose income will be taxable in this process?? Me or my father? Please let me know. How would I rate my commodity broker? I mean the stability of the company and my opportunities etc etc parameter.
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
August 14, 2013 at 1:26 PM
Santa-The source of investment will come into the picture. If the source if from your income then it will be taxable to you. They will deposit in the primary account of the bank (details of which you provided). There is no specific guidelines set to judge the quality of broker. So it is difficult to say. But from the history of broker and the opinion of the existing clients you may arrive at decision.

Plz help me regarding this.
1. How would my commodity, Equity share market earning effect my IT? Is that per slab or any else…..Pls let me know how it would be calculated if loss is there. My friend told me he would be eager to invest in my account, where my PAN no is given, and he would carry his profit/loss and withdraw as per that. Is that earning would burden my IT? Should I allow him to do so?
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
August 11, 2013 at 6:00 PM
Santu-It is a lengthy chapter. So will try to address it early by posting an article. But as of now you remember that, even though your friend is trading from your account then whatever the profit or loss he makes will definitely affect your taxation. So better to ask him to open his account and trade. What is stopping him to open his own account?

Dear Basavaraj,
First of all thanks you very much for your suggestions and answers for the investment related queries.
I had gone through couple of your posts and i thought you are the right person to answer few of my questions.
I have a LIC jeevan anand policy since 2006. And i am looking for some other scheme of investment. Initially i was thinking to invest in one more Jeevan anand policy for my family. But with my experience i can also agree with you that this is a very low yielding scheme in a long term. And only after seeing your post on how much agents gain from our investment, i don’t want to go for this plan any more.
Alternative to LIC policies, i heard investments in Mutual funds is of at higher gain, but i am not much aware of Mutual funds and details about that.
So would you mind to suggest me few of good schemes for long term investments where i can invest up to 50K annually and have marginal yieldings? This would be a very good help for me.
Thank you!
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
August 2, 2013 at 9:32 PM
Naresh-Thanks for your kind words 🙂 First do your life is fully covered by pure insurance product like term insurance? If no then first buy it. Second thing, do have an emergency fund of at least 6 months of your household expense? If not then produce it. After that we can think of investing. Now you said that you are ready to invest for long term, so I mean more than 10 years. So your monthly contribution will be around Rs.4,000. In that I suggest you to invest Rs.1, 000 in PPF (it is a 15 year product), Rs.1,000 in Franklin India Blue-chip Fund (G), Rs.1,000 in UTI Opportunities Fund (G). Utilize Rs.1,000 for term insurance, health insurance, critical insurance and accident insurance premium. I am not sure about the insurance premiums as I dont knwo your age. Hence do your research and plan accordingly.

I read your article on LIC JEEVAN ANAND policy. Please can you clarify my doubt about the policy. I will be grateful to you.
I have a policy for 16 years and the sum assured is 8,00,000. My premium is 28,920 Rs. I understand that i will get 800,000 rs plus bonuses after maturity of the policy i.e. after completion of 16 years. and my life will be insured till i reach 70 years.
Now my question to you is god forbid i am alive after 70 years also then will LIC pay me some thing or no. second question is after completion of 16 years i receive 8,00,000 rs plus bonuses and i do not wish to take any benefit from LIC, am i entitled for extra amount. Please guide me. [email protected]yahoo.com Regards Masrat Khan
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
August 2, 2013 at 1:19 PM
Masrat-Once the policy matures (in your case after 16 years) then you receive SA+Bonus. If you still survive after maturity then upto your 70 years of age Rs.5,00,000 will be paid in case of normal death and Rs.10,00,000 in case of accidental death. Now if you survive after 70 years of age too then Rs.5,00,000 only after your death (whether normal or accidental). My answer to second question is-Not possible, you need to take the maturity amount.

Hello Sir, I have purchased a built house 2 years back. The original owner had misplaced the betterment paid charges receipt. But he had a suvarna Khata and on transferring the same to my name I now have a Suvarna Khata. Now for getting the Kaveri water Connections, officials are telling that If I do not have the Betterment tax paid receipt, then I should pay Rs16,000/- Is having suvarna Khata sufficient to not to pay Rs 16,000/- Regards Chitta Ranjan

Hi, Today got a call from Reliance capital that they are giving Loan against Life insurance. They will give 5L loan against 50k Life insurance. First I need to give 50K then they will start the insurance and after 30 days I will receive the Loan amount. Plan name Reliance guaranteed money back. Do you have any idea regarding this? This plan is something Out-Of-The-World plan. Please let me know if this is true or fake.
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
July 31, 2013 at 7:37 PM
Santu-Superb plan 🙂 Please ask for the details and if possible share the same with me either by mail or posting the same on this platform. Let us know how they are playing with all. It is just one more sales pitch what they are playing with you. So be careful. The plan you mentioned is normal traditional money back plan. Then on what base they are giving you the loan immediately after the start of the policy? Even God can’t answer then leave it IRDA 🙂

Hi, Whatever investment I do I need good return back and want to invest for long period. So from that thinking plz let me know your suggestions….
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
July 31, 2013 at 8:33 PM
Santu-Go for MIPs if you’re looking for a short period like less than 5 years or looking for some stable income. But in my view better to choose Dynamic Funds than these MIPs. Reason is, these MIPs still has some equity exposure which is not with Dynamic Bond Funds. Beauty of Dynamic funds is they adjust themselves based on the interest rate cycle. So you will get better return in long when interest starts to increase. Regarding indexation on income tax part. It is a big topic which I can’t explain in detail by commenting. Hence request you to do some search, you will find plenty of information on the same.
santu says:
July 31, 2013 at 11:14 AM
Thanx for your suggestions. Actually few days back I was reading some article on this and it says putting investment in RD/NSC/FD its better to put in such MIPs in case if investor invests for 3+ yrs. In other cases IT also applicable as per slab but here some indexing or non indexing matters, which I have no knowledge and I have to search for that. Here Risk factor also low and it says the Maturity percentage will be between 7-12% where as in other debt cases I am getting 8.5-9% fixed. Please let me know your suggestions regarding this.
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
July 31, 2013 at 4:33 PM

Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
July 30, 2013 at 7:06 PM
Santu-May I know the reason for choosing MIPs? Anyhow my suggestion will be Reliance MIP or HDFC Multiple Yield.

I know that dc converted property is not used to construct an house but builder and surrounding people told that all the houses in that area are like that. Please suggest me consequences would I face in future if I buy the house. Thanks Krishna

Hi, I have started LIC endowment plan 2010-11 FY and paid 4 premiums till date (including 2013-14FY). BUt in LIC site it shows only 57600 bonus (SA 6L). Which as per your table only for first two years where is the third yr bonus? Is that not yet calculated and published in LIC site?
I have another doubt. You have adviced Mr Rao that to go to LIC office to get the money….Are you reffering him to surrender the policy? If any else pls let me know what is that. Thank you
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
June 14, 2013 at 1:37 PM
Santu-Yes they have not calculated for third year. Yes I am advising him to surrender the policy.

Hello Sir, This is K SAMBA SIVA RAO from Chennnai. I am paying New Jeevan Shree Policy for the past 7 years (Tenure 16 Years, Maturity 25 years). At present the Accrued bonus is around 1.25 Lacs. My doubt is can i withdraw that amount? If so, what is the procedure?
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
June 6, 2013 at 9:58 AM
K.Samba Siva Rao-Better you discontinue this policy and immediately cover your life risk by taking term plans of your suitable insurer. Nothing to do, just visit your servicing branch with original bond and your bank details (better you go with one cheque leaf). Fill the form and they will process it within day or two and money will get credited to your bank account directly. But never indulge any agent especially your agent who sold this policy. Because they may so many things to continue the same 🙂

Hi, I wanted to open a RD account and then the bank official said there is no Tax should be paid after maturity whatever is the maturity amount is. I have verified this with many banks and all said the same.
Is it true that, whatever may be the interest earned at the maturity, full amount would be tax exempted? Please let me know.
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
June 4, 2013 at 2:10 PM
Santu-It is totally false and mis-guiding. Their is no TDS on this but whatever the accrued interest is taxable income for you.

Hi Sir,
I am planning to buy plot near Devanahalli ( from North East Propoerties). What documents should I ask from them to make sure that I am buying clean piece of land ?
Thanx. Please clarify the question above regarding my Dad donation towards my HUF.
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
May 9, 2013 at 5:56 PM
Santu-Your father can give it to your HUF as gift. But need to mention that gift is made to your HUF but not to you as individual. Once it is received then whatever the accrued income from this amount will be taxable under you i.e HUF.

Namaskara Basavaraj,
I am planning to buy plot(20*50) thats been developed by a private developer in Hosakerehalli.
Advocate after verifying property documents says that entire layout is a DC converted property and single “A Khata” is issued by BBMP to entire layout, it may not be possible to create split “A Khata” for individual sites.
From a legal stand point and loan approval from bank standpoint, let me know if split “A Khata” can be issed for above mentioned layout and Can I go ahead with this proposal?
Regards, Madhu 9632900228
Basavaraj Tonagatti says:
April 25, 2013 at 2:14 PM
Madhusudan-What your lawyer told is correct. Because layout approval is for the whole property but not the piece of property you are buying. So in my view you may face problem. Still you have doubt then you can contact our expert lawyer on this matter. If interested then I will provide his contact number.

BasuNivesh says:
March 28, 2013 at 9:51 AM
Azad-First of all think yourself whether PPF or SBI’s product will actually fulfill your financial goal or not. Now in PPF if I consider as your monthly contribution is before 5th of every month and you maintain the same style throughout the period then your maturity amount will be Rs.10,72,061.
sunil says:
March 28, 2013 at 11:20 PM
The maturity amount is 1834683.394
BasuNivesh says:
March 29, 2013 at 11:49 AM
Sunil-Which maturity amount you are saying? May be I am wrong in above PPF maturity amount calculation. Because I considered monthly contribution as Rs.3,000 instead Rs.5,000. Am I right?

Hello Basu, Correct, you got it right. Thanks.

BasuNivesh says:

A zad-I am currently out of city. Hence unable to respond to your queries. But once I return I will reply to you doubt.
Azad says:
April 5, 2013 at 10:41 AM
Sir clear my query? As early as u can
BasuNivesh says:
April 5, 2013 at 11:56 AM
Azad-Sorry for delayed reply. Suppose if I consider your Rs.24,000 yearly contribution towards PPF in the month of April but before 5th then maturity will be Rs.7,47,457. Also suppose your yearly contribution is after 5th of April every year then maturity amount will be Rs.7,42,525 (I considered current PPF rate for calculation).
Now choosing best term insurance is left with you based on your comfort with insurance company and premium you can afford. For your information LIC’s term plans are costlier than others and usually opt for online term plan as premium will be lower than off line plans. You may choose according to your comfort from ICICI, HDFC, Kotak or Aviva.
Azad says:
April 6, 2013 at 5:12 PM
Sir is dat mean lic jeewan saral is better than ppf becoz my frnd told me that invest 24000 rs. P.a. in it and after 20 yrs u will got rs.16 lacs surely and also got life isurance of rs.5 lacs is it true or not tell me. And the amount which ur given 2 me rs.747500 somthing is wat I got aftr invsting Rs.24 t housand p.a. for a period of 15 years consistntly .
BasuNivesh says:
April 6, 2013 at 10:17 PM
Azad-Do you know how much return your friend talking about? It is 11.32%. Even it is not practical to expect such return from equity market too. So he is definitely mis-guiding you on this. So from all views PPF looks better than this plan. So think and decide seriously.

BasuNivesh says:
March 24, 2013 at 4:58 PM
Kannan-Investing Rs.1,00,000 and return of Rs.2,000 per month!!!! Do you know how much return you are expecting? It is highly impossible with such low investment and high expectation. You can try LIC’s New Jeevan Akshay VI if you want.

Dear Basu, I request your expertise opinion on following questions.
1 – What types of Mutual Fund are good for long term [ 10- 15 years ] investment ? 2 – What is minimum return we can expect from such fund ? 3 – If returns are not guaranteed then how to invest in Mutual Fund with a financial goal for 10-15 years, what is contigency plan one should adopt. 4 – Apart from Equity and Hybrid Fund, can we consider sector fund for long term investment 10-15 years, how much return can be expected ? 5 – Returns earned on Balanced fund are taxable ?
BasuNivesh says:
March 13, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Sunil-My answers
1) Select the oldest fund which have given consistent return rather than new funds or new AMCs. 2) It depends on your waiting period, fund you chosen and the constant monitoring. Mere investing and forgetting may not work well in long run too. 3) Returns are not guaranteed but will give you better returns than other asset class if your waiting period is 10-15 years. Contingency plan is to come out of equity investment 1-2 years before goal approaches. 4) In my view sectoral funds are risky than diversified funds. If that particular sector not perform well then you may be in trouble. You may think about sectoral when your basic investment needs are fulfilled. 5) If the balanced fund is equity oriented then it is treated as equity fund only if not then it is like debt fund and taxation will be as per debt fund.

Dear BasuNivesh, I have 2 question related to buying a site.
1- if the layout is already approved by BMRDA do we need to still get individual A khata to build the house.
2 – If the land is in yellow zone, DC convereted or DC approved, and as per builder the land is A Khata, we need to pay betterment charges to BBMP, it it true ?. Currently this place doesn not come under BBMP limits.
I am planning ro invest around 60K from next financial year from from a couple of investments on lic which I am doing right now, Please tell me if I invest the same on a PPF what should be the sum assured after 15 years, or can you suggest me a better plan that this?
Thanks in advance, Uddalak

BasuNivesh says:
February 25, 2013 at 5:57 PM
Uddalak-Think insurance as the product of protecting your life in case of any untoward incident. So better to take term plan and rest in all other asset classes based on your risk appetite and financial goals. For your information in PPF their will not be any word called Sum Assured. Return on PPF will be definitely be more than the normal traditional insurance plans. But parking all your investable surplus in product will not fulfill your goals. Hope you endorse my views.
Uddalak Chowdhury says:
February 25, 2013 at 6:18 PM
Got ur point………….Thanks a lot………so based on your last comments can you give me some ideas what/which term plan should I go for?
Thanks Uddalak
BasuNivesh says:
February 25, 2013 at 8:01 PM
Uddalak-Their are plenty of online term plans. Based on your comfort with insurer chose anyone. Term must be till your 6o to 65 years of age and Sum Assured should be 10-12 times of your yearly income. Increase for each 5 years based on your income and liability.

Hello Basu, Please help us to know what is SIP, How to invest in SIP.? Thank you so much.
BasuNivesh says:
January 27, 2013 at 8:53 PM
Sinil-SIP stands for Systematic Investment Plan. This is the best tool to invest in equity (either direct or through mutual funds), which not only makes you ease from saving one time but also a best way to reducing your risk due to cost averaging of this type of investment.

Birendra-This case is the proximity of careless. In my view first visit the site personally and try to get the latest documents on the site. Then go for further steps like paying all dues.

Dear Sir,
Earlier the taxes have been paid to Bangalore City Corporation. Since we did not have PID number BBMP collected tax on Survey No. Now BBMP officials are conveying that only B Khata can be issued to us. The property is located in Bellary Road Cross, Ganganagar. Please help.

Dear Basu Nivesh,
I was investing in ULIP 64 with UTI and same got matured in 1994 .I am still holding the same intact. Is it worth holding the same intact or invest the same in certain bond funds or liquid funds.
Unfortunately thing is UTI never send any yearly statements and no update is done.
We get only bonus units and no dividends are paid..
I am now retired person and needs money on regular basis for my day to day expenses.
Thanks in advance. .
BasuNivesh says:
October 18, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Dear Sir-Regarding your UTI 64, please provide me few more information like what type fund it is and when you started investing, then I may be in a better condition to guide you. Request you to switch to Postal Monthly Scheme, where you will get monthly definite income which may be helpful for your day to day expenses. As you told your expenses are depend on this earning then instead of bond funds or liquid funds where your principal may be safer but no guarantee of desired returns. Hence better to choose MIS. If you have still doubt then feel free to ask me. I will be out of city for more than a week. Hence will reply to your quarries once I am back to Bangalore.

Hi,
I have opened a commodity account. I have given them my PAN card details. But in which account they will deposit profit amount, my father is named as primary holder then whose income will be taxable in this process?? Me or my father? Please let me know.
How would I rate my commodity broker? I mean the stability of the company and my opportunities etc etc parameter.
Santa-The source of investment will come into the picture. If the source if from your income then it will be taxable to you. They will deposit in the primary account of the bank (details of which you provided). There is no specific guidelines set to judge the quality of broker. So it is difficult to say. But from the history of broker and the opinion of the existing clients you may arrive at decision.
Dear Sir,
If we are in position in one property from past 25 years on the basis of GPA. But now only based on the Position can i request court to make it in our name permanently? and what is Holder katha from BBMP?
Thanks
Vishwanath
Vishwanath-Please raise your doubt on the post “Difference between A Khata and B Khata-Bangalore Property” so that our expert can answer you there itself.
Thanks for the reply Basu but there are 2 questions in my request. Can you answer for 1st question. I will raise the 2nd question under different section.
Thanks in Advance.
Plz help me regarding this.
1. How would my commodity, Equity share market earning effect my IT? Is that per slab or any else…..Pls let me know how it would be calculated if loss is there. My friend told me he would be eager to invest in my account, where my PAN no is given, and he would carry his profit/loss and withdraw as per that. Is that earning would burden my IT? Should I allow him to do so?
Santu-It is a lengthy chapter. So will try to address it early by posting an article. But as of now you remember that, even though your friend is trading from your account then whatever the profit or loss he makes will definitely affect your taxation. So better to ask him to open his account and trade. What is stopping him to open his own account?
Dear Basavaraj,
First of all thanks you very much for your suggestions and answers for the investment related queries.
I had gone through couple of your posts and i thought you are the right person to answer few of my questions.
I have a LIC jeevan anand policy since 2006. And i am looking for some other scheme of investment. Initially i was thinking to invest in one more Jeevan anand policy for my family. But with my experience i can also agree with you that this is a very low yielding scheme in a long term. And only after seeing your post on how much agents gain from our investment, i don’t want to go for this plan any more.
Alternative to LIC policies, i heard investments in Mutual funds is of at higher gain, but i am not much aware of Mutual funds and details about that.
So would you mind to suggest me few of good schemes for long term investments where i can invest up to 50K annually and have marginal yieldings? This would be a very good help for me.
Thank you!
Naresh-Thanks for your kind words 🙂 First do your life is fully covered by pure insurance product like term insurance? If no then first buy it. Second thing, do have an emergency fund of at least 6 months of your household expense? If not then produce it. After that we can think of investing. Now you said that you are ready to invest for long term, so I mean more than 10 years. So your monthly contribution will be around Rs.4,000. In that I suggest you to invest Rs.1, 000 in PPF (it is a 15 year product), Rs.1,000 in Franklin India Blue-chip Fund (G), Rs.1,000 in UTI Opportunities Fund (G). Utilize Rs.1,000 for term insurance, health insurance, critical insurance and accident insurance premium. I am not sure about the insurance premiums as I dont knwo your age. Hence do your research and plan accordingly.
I read your article on LIC JEEVAN ANAND policy. Please can you clarify my doubt about the policy. I will be grateful to you.
I have a policy for 16 years and the sum assured is 8,00,000. My premium is 28,920 Rs. I understand that i will get 800,000 rs plus bonuses after maturity of the policy i.e. after completion of 16 years. and my life will be insured till i reach 70 years.
Now my question to you is god forbid i am alive after 70 years also then will LIC pay me some thing or no.
second question is after completion of 16 years i receive 8,00,000 rs plus bonuses and i do not wish to take any benefit from LIC, am i entitled for extra amount. Please guide me.
[email protected]yahoo.com
Regards
Masrat Khan
Masrat-Once the policy matures (in your case after 16 years) then you receive SA+Bonus. If you still survive after maturity then upto your 70 years of age Rs.5,00,000 will be paid in case of normal death and Rs.10,00,000 in case of accidental death. Now if you survive after 70 years of age too then Rs.5,00,000 only after your death (whether normal or accidental).
My answer to second question is-Not possible, you need to take the maturity amount.
Hello Sir,
I have purchased a built house 2 years back. The original owner had misplaced the betterment paid charges receipt. But he had a suvarna Khata and on transferring the same to my name I now have a Suvarna Khata.
Now for getting the Kaveri water Connections, officials are telling that If I do not have the Betterment tax paid receipt, then I should pay Rs16,000/-
Is having suvarna Khata sufficient to not to pay Rs 16,000/-

Hi,
Today got a call from Reliance capital that they are giving Loan against Life insurance. They will give 5L loan against 50k Life insurance. First I need to give 50K then they will start the insurance and after 30 days I will receive the Loan amount. Plan name Reliance guaranteed money back. Do you have any idea regarding this? This plan is something Out-Of-The-World plan.
Please let me know if this is true or fake.
Santu-Superb plan 🙂 Please ask for the details and if possible share the same with me either by mail or posting the same on this platform. Let us know how they are playing with all. It is just one more sales pitch what they are playing with you. So be careful. The plan you mentioned is normal traditional money back plan. Then on what base they are giving you the loan immediately after the start of the policy? Even God can’t answer then leave it IRDA 🙂
Hi,
Whatever investment I do I need good return back and want to invest for long period. So from that thinking plz let me know your suggestions….
Santu-Go for MIPs if you’re looking for a short period like less than 5 years or looking for some stable income. But in my view better to choose Dynamic Funds than these MIPs. Reason is, these MIPs still has some equity exposure which is not with Dynamic Bond Funds. Beauty of Dynamic funds is they adjust themselves based on the interest rate cycle. So you will get better return in long when interest starts to increase. Regarding indexation on income tax part. It is a big topic which I can’t explain in detail by commenting. Hence request you to do some search, you will find plenty of information on the same.
Thanx for your suggestions.
Actually few days back I was reading some article on this and it says putting investment in RD/NSC/FD its better to put in such MIPs in case if investor invests for 3+ yrs.
In other cases IT also applicable as per slab but here some indexing or non indexing matters, which I have no knowledge and I have to search for that.
Here Risk factor also low and it says the Maturity percentage will be between 7-12% where as in other debt cases I am getting 8.5-9% fixed.
Please let me know your suggestions regarding this.
Santu-Please let me know your exact need from this investment.
Hi,
I would like to invest in MIPs. Like reliance/HDFC/birla sun life. Please let me know which one would be better for SIP investment for 5+ years duration
Santu-May I know the reason for choosing MIPs? Anyhow my suggestion will be Reliance MIP or HDFC Multiple Yield.

i take low risk
TR-Low risk means you don’t want to loose you principal at any cost but ready to compromise on the return part right?
TR-May I know the reason for choosing LIC plans only that too Jeevan Mitra? Any specific reason? I think someone is proposing this plan…am I right?
TR-Rs.15,00,000 is today’s term or it is the amount you want to get after 30 years? Please do consider inflation effect also.
Hi,
I like an house in rammurthy nagar, bangalore. But the land is not dc converted, bbmp b katha. I know that dc converted property is not used to construct an house but builder and surrounding people told that all the houses in that area are like that. Please suggest me consequences would I face in future if I buy the house.
Thanks

Krishna-Request you to raise your question by commenting on the post called “Difference between A Khata and B Khata-Bangalore Property“. It will be helpful for our expert to answer.
Than you. When they would do this? Any Idea……
Santu-Exactly I don’t know but I think they have their own fixed schedule.
Hi,
I have started LIC endowment plan 2010-11 FY and paid 4 premiums till date (including 2013-14FY). BUt in LIC site it shows only 57600 bonus (SA 6L). Which as per your table only for first two years where is the third yr bonus? Is that not yet calculated and published in LIC site?
I have another doubt. You have adviced Mr Rao that to go to LIC office to get the money….Are you reffering him to surrender the policy? If any else pls let me know what is that. Thank you
Santu-Yes they have not calculated for third year. Yes I am advising him to surrender the policy.
Hello Sir,
This is K SAMBA SIVA RAO from Chennnai.
I am paying New Jeevan Shree Policy for the past 7 years (Tenure 16 Years, Maturity 25 years).
At present the Accrued bonus is around 1.25 Lacs.
My doubt is can i withdraw that amount?
If so, what is the procedure?
K.Samba Siva Rao-Better you discontinue this policy and immediately cover your life risk by taking term plans of your suitable insurer. Nothing to do, just visit your servicing branch with original bond and your bank details (better you go with one cheque leaf). Fill the form and they will process it within day or two and money will get credited to your bank account directly. But never indulge any agent especially your agent who sold this policy. Because they may so many things to continue the same 🙂
thank you basavaraj sir. Thanks for the valuable advice.
Pleasure 🙂
Hi,
I wanted to open a RD account and then the bank official said there is no Tax should be paid after maturity whatever is the maturity amount is. I have verified this with many banks and all said the same.
Is it true that, whatever may be the interest earned at the maturity, full amount would be tax exempted? Please let me know.
Santu-It is totally false and mis-guiding. Their is no TDS on this but whatever the accrued interest is taxable income for you.
Dear BasuJi,
Please inform me the rate of interest received in LIC Bima Nivesh
Supriya De-Their is no interest part on this, instead LIC fixed guaranteed addition of Rs.50 and Rs.55 as GA for 5 and 10 years of term (compounding annually).
Hi Sir,

Hemant-Please read the full comment section of artilce “Difference between A Khata and B Khata-Bangalore property” you will gain a full knowledge on the same.
Thanx. Please clarify the question above regarding my Dad donation towards my HUF.
Santu-Your father can give it to your HUF as gift. But need to mention that gift is made to your HUF but not to you as individual. Once it is received then whatever the accrued income from this amount will be taxable under you i.e HUF.
Need Investment tips :
I need some helpful article on creating HUF and HUF fund creation.
1. My dad wants to put 5L in my HUF. He does not have any HUF. Is that possible? What would happen to the money which would get generated from this 5L? Whose liability this interest money would be?
Santu-Will soon post on the quarries you raised. Thanks for suggesting it.
Namaskara Basavaraj,
I am planning to buy plot(20*50) thats been developed by a private developer in Hosakerehalli.
Advocate after verifying property documents says that entire layout is a DC converted property and single “A Khata” is issued by BBMP to entire layout, it may not be possible to create split “A Khata” for individual sites.
From a legal stand point and loan approval from bank standpoint, let me know if split “A Khata” can be issed for above mentioned layout and Can I go ahead with this proposal?
Regards,
Madhu
9632900228
Madhusudan-What your lawyer told is correct. Because layout approval is for the whole property but not the piece of property you are buying. So in my view you may face problem. Still you have doubt then you can contact our expert lawyer on this matter. If interested then I will provide his contact number.
Dear Basavaraj,
Whether gold ETF is still a better option.
K.K.Sarawagi-Yes..but you can also try with E-Gold too.

Hello Basu,
I want to take Medical Insurance, please recommend which company is best.
Sunil-I plainly can’t recommend you the product on this platform. If you need expert advice then better to contact medimanage. I hope they really help you out based on your need.
Basu I want to Invest in PPF My InCome is Rs30ooo pm. But myBank manager told me2 Invest in SBI lifeI want to Invest Rs5000 Pm. tell me how much I got after 15 yrs.MyselfAZAD n my email Id is [email protected]
mail.com
Azad-First of all think yourself whether PPF or SBI’s product will actually fulfill your financial goal or not. Now in PPF if I consider as your monthly contribution is before 5th of every month and you maintain the same style throughout the period then your maturity amount will be Rs.10,72,061.
The maturity amount is 1834683.394
Sunil-Which maturity amount you are saying? May be I am wrong in above PPF maturity amount calculation. Because I considered monthly contribution as Rs.3,000 instead Rs.5,000. Am I right?
Hello Basu,
Correct, you got it right. Thanks.
Basu I wnt 2 say that I invest rs 24000 p.a. approx. For fifteen years how much I got in ppf n how much in sbi life n also tell me best term insurance plan bcoz as u say insurance n investme t both r sprate things insurance for Rs30 lacs
A
zad-I am currently out of city. Hence unable to respond to your queries. But once I return I will reply to you doubt.
Sir clear my query? As early as u can
Azad-Sorry for delayed reply. Suppose if I consider your Rs.24,000 yearly contribution towards PPF in the month of April but before 5th then maturity will be Rs.7,47,457. Also suppose your yearly contribution is after 5th of April every year then maturity amount will be Rs.7,42,525 (I considered current PPF rate for calculation).
Now choosing best term insurance is left with you based on your comfort with insurance company and premium you can afford. For your information LIC’s term plans are costlier than others and usually opt for online term plan as premium will be lower than off line plans. You may choose according to your comfort from ICICI, HDFC, Kotak or Aviva.
Sir is dat mean lic jeewan saral is better than ppf becoz my frnd told me that invest 24000 rs. P.a. in it and after 20 yrs u will got rs.16 lacs surely and also got life isurance of rs.5 lacs is it true or not tell me. And the amount which ur given 2 me rs.747500 somthing is wat I got aftr invsting Rs.24 t
housand p.a. for a period of 15 years consistntly .
Azad-Do you know how much return your friend talking about? It is 11.32%. Even it is not practical to expect such return from equity market too. So he is definitely mis-guiding you on this. So from all views PPF looks better than this plan. So think and decide seriously.
sir I am now 49 years old. I want to invest one lakh rupee in LIC. But i want to get pension about 2000 per month immediately on deposit. also will I get any risk cover. Please tell me is there any LIC plans currently available to meet this criteria if so please inform me sir. thanks
Kannan-Investing Rs.1,00,000 and return of Rs.2,000 per month!!!! Do you know how much return you are expecting? It is highly impossible with such low investment and high expectation. You can try LIC’s New Jeevan Akshay VI if you want.
how to find whether the property is original or not
Iayyappan-List is big, but better to contact the expert lawyer for any verification.
Dear Basu,
I request your expertise opinion on following questions.
1 – What types of Mutual Fund are good for long term [ 10- 15 years ] investment ?
2 – What is minimum return we can expect from such fund ?
3 – If returns are not guaranteed then how to invest in Mutual Fund with a financial goal for 10-15 years, what is contigency plan one should adopt.
4 – Apart from Equity and Hybrid Fund, can we consider sector fund for long term investment 10-15 years, how much return can be expected ?
5 – Returns earned on Balanced fund are taxable ?
Sunil-My answers
1) Select the oldest fund which have given consistent return rather than new funds or new AMCs.
2) It depends on your waiting period, fund you chosen and the constant monitoring. Mere investing and forgetting may not work well in long run too.
3) Returns are not guaranteed but will give you better returns than other asset class if your waiting period is 10-15 years. Contingency plan is to come out of equity investment 1-2 years before goal approaches.
4) In my view sectoral funds are risky than diversified funds. If that particular sector not perform well then you may be in trouble. You may think about sectoral when your basic investment needs are fulfilled.
5) If the balanced fund is equity oriented then it is treated as equity fund only if not then it is like debt fund and taxation will be as per debt fund.
Thank you Basu 🙂

Dear BasuNivesh,
I have 2 question related to buying a site.
1- if the layout is already approved by BMRDA do we need to still get individual A khata to build the house.
2 – If the land is in yellow zone, DC convereted or DC approved, and as per builder the land is A Khata, we need to pay betterment charges to BBMP, it it true ?. Currently this place doesn not come under BBMP limits.
Sunil-Please post the same question below the blog post called “Difference between A Khata and B Khata-Bangalore property” This will make easier for our expert in replying to your comment.
I am planning ro invest around 60K from next financial year from from a couple of investments on lic which I am doing right now, Please tell me if I invest the same on a PPF what should be the sum assured after 15 years, or can you suggest me a better plan that this?
Thanks in advance,
Uddalak
sorry for the typo, in the first line i meant” 60K from next financial year and currently I am investing on couple o lics…………………………………..
Uddalak-Think insurance as the product of protecting your life in case of any untoward incident. So better to take term plan and rest in all other asset classes based on your risk appetite and financial goals. For your information in PPF their will not be any word called Sum Assured. Return on PPF will be definitely be more than the normal traditional insurance plans. But parking all your investable surplus in product will not fulfill your goals. Hope you endorse my views.
Got ur point………….Thanks a lot………so based on your last comments can you give me some ideas what/which term plan should I go for?
Thanks
Uddalak
Uddalak-Their are plenty of online term plans. Based on your comfort with insurer chose anyone. Term must be till your 6o to 65 years of age and Sum Assured should be 10-12 times of your yearly income. Increase for each 5 years based on your income and liability.

Hi, my parents had bought a property in Bangalore in 1982 and after that they never paid property Tax, neither they had visited the site.
Now wht do u suggest?
Birendra-This case is the proximity of careless. In my view first visit the site personally and try to get the latest documents on the site. Then go for further steps like paying all dues.
Dear Sir,
Earlier the taxes have been paid to Bangalore City Corporation. Since we did not have PID number BBMP collected tax on Survey No. Now BBMP officials are conveying that only B Khata can be issued to us. The property is located in Bellary Road Cross, Ganganagar. Please help.

Dear Basu Nivesh,
I was investing in ULIP 64 with UTI and same got matured in 1994 .I am still holding the same intact. Is it worth holding the same intact or invest the same in certain bond funds or liquid funds.
Unfortunately thing is UTI never send any yearly statements and no update is done.
We get only bonus units and no dividends are paid..
I am now retired person and needs money on regular basis for my day to day expenses.
Thanks in advance. .
Dear Sir-Regarding your UTI 64, please provide me few more information like what type fund it is and when you started investing, then I may be in a better condition to guide you. Request you to switch to Postal Monthly Scheme, where you will get monthly definite income which may be helpful for your day to day expenses. As you told your expenses are depend on this earning then instead of bond funds or liquid funds where your principal may be safer but no guarantee of desired returns. Hence better to choose MIS. If you have still doubt then feel free to ask me. I will be out of city for more than a week. Hence will reply to your quarries once I am back to Bangalore.
