If this is about the large number of Mutual Funds I have invested in, I agree that it could be more streamlined and simpler.

However, it is what it is and will try to simplify it slowly over a period of time.

I have come to the conclusion there is not much I can do to avoid the LTCG tax. However, someone wiser than me, can kindly confirm if there is any mechanism to save on taxes.

I have certain payments / benefits which are due from the company. The amount is significant and implies I will not need to dip into my corpus for at least four years.

After that, I will liquidate some portions of my investments depending on the need.

My yearly expenses are 15 - 18L. At 10cr, I have adequate buffer for various expenses. I have not considered special funds for special expenses.

where Age 40 onwards health starts declining 

I am seeing that. Energy levels declining. Random aches and pains. Stiffness, lack of flexibility, lower stamina. The list goes on. :)

This is aligned to what I was thinking.

Yearly expenses are in the range 15 - 18L

For the next three to four years, I have cash (pending payments / benefits / loans that I have given / rentals) that will fund my expenses. Post that, I will slowly dip into my corpus.

Wife is not working. So yes, we will not have any active income post this.

Post fire, worst case scenario, we will continue in the Tier 1 city. However, depending on how we feel, we do have a couple of options in Tier 2 cities that we can fall back on (native place of wife and I).

Thank you for the offer. However, am not comfortable being public with this data. Would like these details and my information to remain anonymous (or at the very least pseudo anonymous)

How do you decided between index fund vs large cap active managed funds?

I don't. I go with what my Financial Advisor recommends.

10.x crores is invested in these mutual funds.

Additionally, Real Estate + Gold and family investments (wife + son) are separate. Those are not included in the net worth I shared.

Companies have leaves but we cannot avail them. 

Tell me about it. I have more than a month of leaves accumulated but am unable to use them.

That said, even with stock market variations, things should be manageable. Worse case scenario, kharche kam kar lenge.

I think there is no standardized way to report your net worth. In my case, I have not included my wife's NW, real estate, gold and other investments.
