OUR APPROACH

Do You Have These Concerns About Your Finances?

Too Much Information

Your colleague says index funds. Your uncle says LIC. Twitter says gold. The result? You do nothing. We give you one clear recommendation — built on your goals, not opinions.

No Clear Strategy

A SIP here, an FD there, a random tip from a group — that's not a strategy. We map every rupee to a specific goal, so you know exactly what you're building and when you'll reach it.

Not Enough Time

You shouldn't need to check NAV daily or rebalance manually. We monitor your portfolio, flag what needs attention, and send you a clear quarterly update. You stay focused on your career and family.

WHO WE ARE

How Can We Help?

Most Indians save diligently but invest hesitantly — overwhelmed by options, unsure who to trust. We exist to fix that gap. We build personalised wealth plans with MFs for salaried professionals, business owners, and NRIs — whether you are starting with ₹500 a month or managing a ₹50 lakh portfolio.

Zero Guidance Fee

You pay absolutely nothing for our guidance. Our fee comes from fund houses — not from your pocket.

Goal-Based Planning

Every fund maps to a specific goal — child's education, retirement, home — with a clear timeline and target corpus.

Plain Language, Always

No jargon, no confusing acronyms. We explain every decision simply so you stay informed and in control.

Quarterly Reviews

Markets change. Life changes. We proactively review and advise on rebalancing your MF portfolio every quarter — at no extra cost.

How This Strategy Works

Step 1 — Pay EMI normally
  • Take your home loan as usual
  • Pay EMIs to the bank every month
  • Build home equity over time
Step 2 — Add a SIP alongside
  • Start a SIP worth a slice of your EMI
  • Keep it running for the loan tenure
  • Compare its gains with your total interest

💡 Example: a ₹40L loan at 9% for 20 years costs about ₹46.4L in interest. A SIP of 10% of the EMI (≈₹3,600/month) at an assumed 12% a year could grow to about ₹33L, with gains of ≈₹24.5L — around half the interest. Returns are not guaranteed and can be lower or negative.

Annual Maintenance (property tax + upkeep)
₹
₹0₹5 L/yr
Property tax + maintenance + insurance. Typical: 0.5–1% of property value per year.
Income Tax Regime
The new regime gives no deduction for a self-occupied home loan, so its 10%, 15% and 25% slabs don't change the result. Old regime: Sec 24(b) up to ₹2L/yr of interest + Sec 80C up to ₹1.5L/yr of principal (assumes your 80C limit isn't already used), at your slab + 4% cess.

How This Comparison Works

The Buyer
  • Pays down payment + stamp duty
  • Pays EMI + maintenance every month
  • Ends with the home (less selling costs)
The Renter
  • Invests the down payment + stamp duty
  • Pays rent, invests what's left of the same budget
  • Ends with the investments

⚖️ Fair comparison: both start with the same cash and spend the same each month. Whoever's housing cost is lower that month invests the difference. We compare what each one owns at the end of the loan.

Two Methods Used — Both Combined

HLV Method

Human Life Value = today's value of the income you'd bring home until retirement (after your own expenses and tax), growing with inflation and discounted at 7% a year. Shown as a reference.

DIME Method

Debt + Income replacement + Mortgage + Education. Covers every specific need.

⚠️ Most Indians are under-insured by 70–80%. A ₹50L policy sounds large but covers only ~4 years of median household expenses. The recommended coverage often surprises people.

Term Insurance: Regular Pay vs Limited Pay + SIP New

Enter the premium quotes you've received and see exactly what you gain — or give up — by choosing each option. Then see what investing the difference could do.

Policy Details
Age + policy term can be at most 85
Premium Details (from your insurer quote)
Pay every year for full policy term
Pay higher amount for fewer years
Must be less than policy term
Investment Assumption — in each year, whoever pays the lower premium invests the difference
Assumed yearly return on whatever each buyer invests (max 15%)

Which Option is Better for You?

Regular Pay may suit you if…
  • You have steady, predictable income and prefer lower annual premiums
  • Flexibility in monthly cash flow matters more to you
  • You want Section 80C deductions every year of the term (old tax regime only)
Limited Pay may suit you if…
  • Your income is high now but may reduce closer to retirement
  • You want zero premium obligations in your later years
  • You have lumpy income (business owners, freelancers, professionals)
  • You have a shorter earning window (sportspersons, performers)

💡 Time Value of Money: Limited Pay may look cheaper on total outflow, but you pay a much higher amount earlier. This calculator invests whatever each option saves in each year, compares the two pots at the end of the term, and shows the return at which both break even.

The portfolio yield before the fund's expenses (see the fund factsheet). Liquid funds have historically yielded about 6.5–8% a year.
Liquid Fund Expense Ratio (TER)
%
0.05%1.5%
Direct plans: about 0.1–0.5%. It is subtracted from the yield above. If you entered a NAV-based return (already net of expenses), set this to the minimum.
Your Income Tax Slab
FD interest is taxed at your slab every year. Liquid fund units bought on or after 1 Apr 2023 are taxed at your slab rate however long you hold them (Sec 50AA) — but only when you redeem.

Why Liquid Funds Often Win

Fixed Deposit
  • Interest taxed every year (slab rate)
  • TDS deducted at source if >₹40K/yr
  • Penalty on premature withdrawal
  • Interest compounds quarterly
Liquid Fund
  • Tax only on redemption (not yearly)
  • No TDS for resident investors
  • Redeem in 1 day (T+1 settlement)
  • Returns compound daily (NAV basis)

⚠ Returns are illustrative based on your inputs. FD tax shown is for a resident individual; surcharge and cess excluded. Liquid fund gains are taxed at your slab rate on redemption (units bought from 1 Apr 2023). Actual post-tax returns depend on your exact tax situation. Not investment advice — consult a tax advisor.

Bank’s Adjustment Method
Most banks keep EMI the same and silently extend tenure on a rate hike.

How Rate Changes Affect Your Loan

Rate Hike Impact
  • EMI rises — or tenure extends
  • Total interest outgo increases
  • Floating rate loans auto-adjust
  • Prepayment can neutralise the hike
Rate Cut Benefit
  • Request bank to reduce EMI
  • Or keep EMI, close loan early
  • Total interest drops significantly
  • Good time to review loan terms

⚠ Calculations are illustrative using the reducing balance method. Actual EMI/tenure adjustments depend on your bank’s policies and loan agreement. Not financial advice — contact your bank or advisor for exact figures.
