How to PPF Account extension after maturity

A PPF account can be retained after maturity without making any further deposits. The balance will continue to earn interest till it is closed. Public provident fund or PPF remains one of the most popular savings options for the long term despite a gradual decline in interest rates over the years. PPF accounts have a maturity period of 15 years and they can be extended. If there is no fund requirement, financial planners say, PPF account holders should extend the account beyond 15 years. In terms of income tax implications, PPF accounts enjoy the benefit of EEE (exempt-exempt-exempt) status . Under Section 80C, contribution up to Rs 1.5 lakh in a financial year qualifies for income tax deduction. The interest earned and maturity proceeds are also tax free. What are your options when a PPF account matures? 1) A PPF account can be closed after the expiry of 15 financial years from the end of the year in which the account was opened. 2) The subscriber can retain his

SIPs Can mke you Rich

Over the last three to five years, an additional development in the actual mode of paying for the SIP investment has improved matters further. Earlier, SIPs meant writing a pile of cheques and giving them to the fund. Obviously, there was a limit to this, generally anything from 12 to 36 months. As a result, investors felt that an SIP was a fixed tenure plan. When the cheques would run out, investors would take their time to go through the whole effort again. At that point, if the markets were looking depressed, they would not do it at all.  Now, investors generally give an ECS mandate for the monthly SIP investment amount to be directly transferred from their bank accounts. Generally, this is a perpetual mandate. Stopping the SIP requires an instruction to be registered. Earlier, stopping was automatic but continuing involved a fresh pile of cheques to be written. In my experience with investors, I have felt that this change of defaults has had a huge impact.  The kind of returns that

Adding Spouse as Co-owner when Buying a House

It makes sense to add spouse as co-owner as it helps in enhanced loan eligibility and provides tax benefits to both co-borrowers on interest and principal repayment. Also, succession of a jointly owned property is smoother compared to the lengthy process involved in case of single ownership. Here are four benefits of owning a house jointly. Lowers stamp duty One of the significant additional expenses that a buyer has to bear while buying a house is stamp duty and registration fee for registration of property papers in the buyer's name. However, "you may prefer to have your wife's name as the first owner as it can help you save a lot of money towards paying the stamp duty In many states, stamp duty fees for registration of property is higher for male buyers and lower for women. For instance, in New Delhi, a woman has to pay 4% stamp duty compared with 6% for a man; if the property is bought jointly in the name of a man and a woman, buyers have to pay a

Hierarchy of investment needs

We know how investing is different from just saving. If we put our saved money somewhere where it will grow, then that's investing. However, there are a number of possibilities available when we want to invest, and it isn't possible to make sensible choices without having a way to classify things. However, let's not jump into classifying investments right away. Before we do that, we need to classify our need for making an investment. Investments can be made for a huge variety of needs. You could be saving for emergency medical funds which are usually required at a moment's notice. Or you could be saving for your retirement which is a few decades away, or anything in between. We have created a useful framework for thinking about these investment needs. We divide investment needs into four levels. Each level is more fundamental than the ones that come after it. You should satisfy the need at each level before going on to the next one. Those who know a bit about psychology

e-diamonds

The lure of buying diamonds might be in their glitter, but you can even buy diamonds in the electronic form, through the Indian Commodities Exchange (ICEX) Ltd as derivative contracts. ICEX is a Sebi-registered commodities exchange that offers diamond futures contracts for 30 cent, 50 cent and 1 carat diamonds. What is it?   Like in other exchanges, you can buy and sell these contracts, which are priced at the wholesale market rate (ex-Surat) rather than at the retail price of polished diamonds . You can hold them in electronic mode or choose to take physical delivery. The contract units begin with 1 cent (100 cents make 1 carat). The shape, carat, colour, clarity, cut and other specifications will be mentioned as part of the contract. The standard contract has colour of 'H' level with VS2 clarity.  There are limits on the maximum order that can be placed per individual. You can even start with a small amount and invest via systematic investment p

Know about CTC

HAVE never understood my payslip till date, says Avni Rustagi, a native of Punjab. Avni, 25, moved to Bangalore four years back in the hope of turning her dream into reality. In that order, she took up work as a designer with an Information Technology firm. Avni pays Rs 10,000 as rent for a spacious apartment, but ask her about how she manages her other expenses and she throws her hands up in the air. Numbers scare me, she admits. I don`t know a thing about finances. She says, For instance, I don`t even understand my pay structure or CTC as it is called, what I get in hand or why I get that much. Wealth realised that Avni's dilemma is a common problem with most working people. The transformation from CTC to take home leaves mostly everyone confused. Let`s decode and understand what happens when CTC becomes take home. What is CTC? CTC is nothing but the cost that the company incurs to employ you and keep you employed. It includes your pay and anything else that the company may incu

NCDs are a Good Investment Option

Non-convertible debentures(NCDs) and fixed deposits issued by companies can turn out to be good investment alternatives given that bank fixed deposits are not offering attractive rates. With several companies vying for investors' attention with these instruments, investors may be spoilt for choice. Fixed income investors have endured muted returns for some time. The one-year fixed deposit at SBI currently fetches 6.65%, while the five-year deposit earns 6.75%. Even bond funds have fetched insipid returns, clocking around 6%. But recent NCD issues suggest good times. On May 22, Dewan Housing Finance (DHFL) launched its ₹12,000-crore NCD issue, offering a coupon rate of up to 9.1%. It received subscriptions worth ₹10,000 crore the very first day, getting fully subscribed soon after. Last week, JM Financial Credit Solutions' ₹750 crore issue — offering up to 9.75% coupon rate — got oversubscribed the first day. The rates NCDs are offering are at least 200-250 bps higher than bank
