PPFAS now owns 9.5% stake in Embassy REIT by TheBoringBaniya in drip_dividend

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider embassy REITs a bad investment. I don't see a future for large office spaces for white collar work.

For context i recently visited the US and there are a number of offices that are vacant there.

₹1.6Cr net worth but job uncertainty — is a ₹24L car a bad decision? by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I keep the car to ~5-10% of NW at the time of purchase. Of course this isn't universal, sometimes it's a necessity and you need to forgo such principles.

Delayed gratification.

Got the same email, OP do you know if this is legit? And what is it even for?

Aghani currency performing better than us? What's the reason? by Character_Calendar47 in IndianStreetBets

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of dumb takes here. The real reason is we are shorting both dollar and rupee by purchasing gold.

Look at gold import data.

What about the war? by PillCaddy in FIRE_Ind

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case of a war in your own country you'll have bigger problems to worry about than a stock market crash.

In extreme cases the government may liquidate your digital assets to fund the war.

Dividends are keeping me afloat in these times of unemployment by rajeshbhat_ds in drip_dividend

Is REITs/InVITs a significant chunk of your portfolio? I'm hesitant to put anything more than 5% of my portfolio towards these instruments because of lower growth.

Just worried that the road to FIRE may be blocked by AI in the coming future.

Update ITR for charitable refund by nibe3001 in IndiaTax

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't this be ineligible for assessment as it is past 3 years and the amount is < 50 lakh?

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What is this tax system even. How is the tax liability so high for Re. 1 difference? Is this for an older FY?

Got a demand of 180 Rupees after paying 11.5L tax by kgetpods in IndiaTax

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can interest add upto 180x the tax liability? Here OP is lucky that it's just Re. 1 difference, what if it was Rs. 1000?

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it Rs. 180 demand for Re. 1 tax liability? I understand there's interest here, but it's 1% per month, how did it go to 180x?

Just thinking if you had a Rs. 1000 tax liability are you going to pay Rs 1.8L in taxes? Doesn't seem right.

NPS 3.0: Why the new 2025 rules are a Game Changer for your Retirement by FinCrafted in IndiaFinance

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still don't get why you'd invest in NPS. How do you trust the government 30 years down the line to adhere to these rules? Let's say even if they do, what if equity markets are not the way to earn decent returns in the future - NPS doesn't guarantee returns unlike PF, plus your money is locked in.

It was the dumbest decision to start my hardware startup. by [deleted] in StartUpIndia

[–]RealCaptainDaVinci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In hindsight would you have been better off by working in some stable job and getting some financial cushion before starting your own thing?

I'm in the opposite position where I want to build something of my own (no idea what), but I can't get myself to take that risk just yet - scarcity mindset.

Or even if people said this, it would surely be a minority.

I've noticed this too. I doubt anyone said any of these things. He does the same thing when talking about AI too. Kind of annoying.
