In order to keep fit and healthy doctors recommend annual health check- ups. In many companies, it is mandatory for senior level employees.

Some others have tie- ups with hospitals where employees can get these check- ups at a discount. And after a check- up if you are diagnosed with some illness, the doctor will recommend a change in diet or lifestyle or a course of medication. After all, good health is important.

Similarly, it is equally important to conduct a regular check- up of your financial plan. Financial plans are an important aspect of managing one's money and trying to achieve one's financial goals. The plan should be reviewed on an annual or bi- annual basis.

The financial plan must be based on the current standard of living and should also consider the assets and liabilities one has. A yearly review and ( if required) a change of financial plan is essential to asses the progress made towards achieving the financial goals.

If the plan seems to have gone off course, one should take the necessary corrections to bring it back on track, by changing the asset allocation.

It is also very important to factor in inflation as part of the financial plan. If your income exceeds your expenses on a consistent basis; it could be a sign that the financial plan is working for you. This means it is time to revisit the plan.

Standard of living:

This affects current expenses and savings) and determines the kind of funds that one will need beyond the earning years.

Care should be taken to ensure that the standard of living is consistent with the income earned and that sufficient funds are set aside to be able to maintain the same standard of living in later years. This is particularly important because income levels will fall postretirement.

Goals:

One should review goals each year and check whether these have been achieved, the progress towards achieving these and any changes that are needed to achieve these goals.

For example, have an emergency or for a child education, marriage, Again, some goals could be for post- retirement period, such as going on a foreign holiday and special planning should be made for these.

NPS - How much to Invest?

  Though the deduction offered under Section 80CCD (1B) is `50,000 , it is not advisable to put the entire amount at one go. It is best to stagger your investments across several months, much like the SIP strategy in a mutual fund. However, don't make too many small contributions. There is a transaction charge of 0.25% or `20 (whichever is higher) on every contribution. If you invest `500-1,000 every month, you pay `20 per contribution, which works out to 2-4%. Invest at least `5,000-10,000 at one go. Remember, at most `2,500-5,000 of this will go into equities if you have chosen the maximum 50% allocation to stocks. The rest will flow into corporate bonds and gilt funds as per your desired allocation. Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1. ICICI Prudential Tax Plan 2.

EPF or NPS - Why not both?

  In the Budget, Jaitley also empowered the corporate employees to choose between the EPF and the NPS. The details are awaited but this could be a big change in the way Indians save for retirement. However, your employer must be ready to shift to the NPS as well. Should you shift to NPS if it is allowed? Experts say you should opt for both . NPS offered by corporates now is additional to the EPF , so the same structure should continue in future also. However, much will depend on the rules and whether employers and the Labour Ministry will embrace the change.     Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1.
