Proper upkeep of the vehicle

You may be surprised to read this. But actually proper upkeep of the vehicle helps in making your vehicle insurance transaction more affordable. Here is how. If you adopt safe driving techniques and maintain your vehicle, the chances of accidents go down. This way, you will not be coming across damages for which you may have to claim insurance. But how does it matter? If you do not claim insurance then what is the purpose of paying for the premium?

Here you have to take a different perspective. Vehicle insurance covers risk. This coverage you can use when there is a damage for which you are expected to pay a sizeable amount of money. But if in case do not come across any such incidents, then you become eligible for No Claim Bonus (NCB).

The amount of NCB is usually between 15-25 per cent of the total payable premium. The percentage of NCB increases with the number of years you did not claim any insurance.

For example, if you are expected to pay Rs 10,000 as insurance premium and eligible for 25 per cent NCB, then you will receive a discount of Rs 2500.

Many times, it is advisable to not claim insurance if the damage is too minor and the amount of recovery is lesser than the amount of NCB.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Mutual Fund MIPs can give better returns than Post Office MIS

Post Office MIS vs  Mutual Fund MIPs   Post office Monthly Income Scheme has for long been a favourite with investors who want regular monthly income from their investments. They offer risk free 8.5% returns and are especially preferred by conservative investors, like retirees who need regular monthly income from their investments. However, top performing mutual fund monthly income plans (MIPs) have beaten Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (MIS), in terms of annualized returns over the last 5 years, by investing a small part of the corpus in equities which can give higher returns than fixed income investments.

Please see the chart below for five year annualized returns from Post office MIS and top performing mutual fund MIPs, monthly d...

NRI Corner: The process of remittances abroad

The process of remittances abroad, and back, is cumbersome. Here’s how you can wade through without hassles Approach The Right Place Outward remittances or the process of sending money abroad is governed by many regulations. In India, outward remittances are made mainly through banks. At the outset, you need to remember that you just cannot trust any individual or a financial firm with the responsibility of sending your money. Experts recommend that you should always try to choose a bank with an international footprint, which will make your job easier. Choose Mode Of Transfer The next step is to choose the mode of transfer. One option is to get a Foreign Currency Demand Draft ( FCDD ). This draft will be denominated in foreign currency and should be drawn in favour of the recipient/ beneficiary. The beneficiary does not necessarily need to have an account with the same bank. The other option is to send money via wire transfer. Do not be puzzled if the bank official uses the word SWIFT ...

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.
