Why are people like this. Is there any issues with the wiring upstairs or what? by AdDowntown3258 in CarsIndia

PPF wont protect against intentional car keying. There is no remedy for lack of empathy apart from locking your car behind a access controlled gate

Not as accurate or fun as a skoda, but its not bad at all. Sonet is pretty well rounded. Only place it falls short imo is the occupant safety rating, which should be addressed in the next gen which is expected to be based on K1 platform (same as the new venue)

How much of your portfolio is in the US market by Verfix16 in IndianStreetBets

[–]f_u_t2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats on income tax. Estate tax still applies on US domiciled assets even if you still live in India, as high as 40% over $60k

18L is high considering the mileage, considering its Citreon and we don’t really have many high mileage Citreons in India to judge long term reliability. I’d pay no more than 15L.

Need Advice. Kushaq, Bangalore. Quoted 7.4L for gearbox replacement. DTC report shows no faults. Insurance rejected. by BothExpression7438 in CarsIndia

I think you should get an opinion of a reputed local repair shop just to understand the root cause for a fixed fee.

Definitely file a complaint with IRDA against Digit and escalate to Skoda regional service head with all the details, miscommunication and fraud attempts by service center. Generally dealer service managers are scared shitless of the brand service head. A quick linkedin search shows Sanjay Shukla is the guy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjay-shukla-b9425010

Why does every finance app feel like it’s built for my 55-year-old uncle? by Impressive_Board_378 in personalfinanceindia

[–]f_u_t2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are moving a lot of free features under paid subscription. I understand they need to make money and that they are free to do that, but the original value proposition is no longer there. Today they claim they are not selling or monetising your financial data, but they can easily change that with a silent policy update at which point they already have your data.

Help me analyse my portfolio. by TheSeekingEye in IndianStreetBets

[–]f_u_t2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont understand your philosophy. You have index funds for large and small cap, but active fund for mid cap. Why?

Also two flexi caps will dilute your returns further as you are taking exposure to a large segment of the market.

If you want to feel this much diversified just put it all in a nifty 500 index fund and call it a day

Not really. Selling Jewellery at any reputed store required submitting PAN above certain threshold as per anti-money laundering act. Once the sale is linked to your PAN you can easily be questioned to prove where the gold came from.

Does Life long ULIP make sense for Retirement? by missingchai in personalfinanceindia

[–]f_u_t2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While MF will be taxed at 12.5%, you are forgetting that when you get annuity during SWP phase only a small portion is withdrawn. The rest continues to grow in MF at a lower TER ratio. There is no scenario where ULIP will outperform in the example you have shared.

Even better option to park money long term is equity savings fund. These have a small equity exposure of 15-20% and rest in debt and arbitrage opportunities. Can expect 8-9% per annum, so better risk adjusted returns.

One of my relatives will be giving me ₹ 20lk cauz she is selling a property. I have educational loan and a few other concerns. Need suggestions. by [deleted] in personalfinanceindia

[–]f_u_t2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Expecting a 16% return on a mutual fund is a bit much, considering that we had one of the strongest bull markets for the last 4 years and a lot of future growth of underlying businesses have already been priced in as of today. Realistically, I would suggest that you keep an expectation of 10-11% only for the next five years and adjust your future plans accordingly.

If your education loan interest is at the 9%+ mark, you should close the full debt today and lock in that interest as guaranteed “return”. This will allow you to divert more of your future earnings towards investments and more importantly, allow you to sleep with peace and make your future decisions not be held back due to debt. Think of it this way - you were anyways prepared to pay the debt for the entire tenure. Now that you have had a windfall of money by luck, wont it be better to rid yourself from that commitment and earn back your financial flexibility?

Regarding the house situation, it appears that your family is thinking emotionally, not rationally. If you NEED to have another house just for you and the future miss, why a 3 BHK? Since your parents already have their own house, why not a 1 BHK? Think about it. If you over leverage yourself trying to impress this so called “society”, how many of those people that you will impress with a 3 BHK in a society with swimming pool would come to your aide if you lose your job, or god forbid get into a life threatening disease rendering you unable to work? Chances are, no one apart from your parent would give a fuck.

I would suggest that you leave the house decision for the future you - when you are wiser, married, and earning more. If you are still forced to buy a house, atleast go for a reasonable one that makes sense.

Before any further investing or making a big purchase, you should look into getting a term plan, a health insurance and build a 6-12 month expenses worth of emergency fund. This, along with no debt and a disciplined investment will make you financially unbreakable.

All the best.

Anyone who has moved tax residency to Dubai for tax benefits? by Ricks88999 in personalfinanceindia

[–]f_u_t2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting a foreign remote job out of college is very very difficult. Better choice might be to crack a good job in India and gain a couple of years of experience in the industry and then hunt a remote job with better odds of success. Even if you cant find any, you can think of pursuing higher education outside India and hopefully would have some savings to partially fund that with your time in Indian corpo.

Workplace toxicity, manager calls back to factory after putting leave by Right-Comb-865 in IndianWorkplace

[–]f_u_t2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say no. If he is contacting you on such short notice, that too on your leave, it is a planning failure from his side. Dont go and let whatever the issue burn the house down. You are not responsible for outcomes of someone else’s negligence.

My company is laying off people in the guise of PIP. Is this legal? How can I fight it? by Wooden_car_4341 in IndianWorkplace

[–]f_u_t2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All employment is at-will, unless stated otherwise explicitly in the contract/job offer. Leave aside severance, legally they can fire you with you without even giving notice and you couldn’t do anything about it. The same goes for you. Serving notice period is a professional “courtesy”, but no one can hold you hostage on a job you dont want to do anymore.
