The losses were incurred by trading thro` a regular stock broker and by paying STT on all transactions.

Dear Radhika_nandlal, Every indian bank offers Loan/overdraft facility against its own FDs. Normally overdraft facility is available on a FD interest rate + 1-1.5%. Interest Rate on OD against FD is calculated monthly but on daily reducing basis. So from ur cash flow point, u may plan to payback OD as per ur convenience.

From ur LIC policies, not all r eligible for Loan, but if u do have some policies which r eligible for loans, u should opt it as the interest rate is very competitive just 9% per annum & the silver lining is that this loan is also like OD, u don`t have to pay principal amount regularly, just pay 4.5% interest every 6 months.

Plz. visit ur nearest LIC office to know on which policies u`ll be able to get loan & how much?

apart from these, as dear PCS mentioned, u may also get Loan against securities from Icici.

thanks

Dear Klb, here is ur tax calculation.
A. Interest Income = 130000
B. Net Rental Income = 42000
C. Net Short Term Capital Gain = 150000 (250000-100000)
D. Total Taxable income = A + B + C = 322000
E. Investment in 80C = 100000
F. Net Taxable Income = D - E = 222000

As ur net taxable income is below ur zero tax limit of 2.25L, there is no tax liability on u. But as ur Total taxable income before 80C investment is more than 2.25L (322000 Rs.) u `ll have to file ur return next year.

thanks

Hi PCS Pune ji/ Other investment Gurus,

could you please help me in selecting Top 5 MFs to invest in Current Market?

Thanks in Advance.

Equity investment is for a long term . Make an asset allocation . Stick to it . Do not change your asset allocation according to Sensex levels. Please rebalance your portfolio according to your allocation every year. Avoid sector funds and NFOs. Look at value research rated funds. Invest atleast 60% in large cap funds. Invest via SIP ONLY.
Here are my 5 funds - Please keep a watch on their ratings.

1) HDFC TOP 200

2) DSPML TOP 100

3) Sundaram Select Focus

4) Reliance Growth

5) DWS Investment Opportunity Fund...

I completely agree on this and as govt. has announced recently to make it mandatory for Builders to have LIG and MIG (Low Income Group and Middle Income Group) houses in their plan. However this need to be monitored closely , else we will be back to square-one....

Will property prices drop sharply now?

Posted by : Guest

People in India are afraid to point out that the real estate market is driven by the black money from tax evading businessmen and corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. Real estate is the only avenue to park these funds and slowdown or not these guys have no where else to take out this money and put into. They will stop rotating and speculating at the most and just hold. So unless the real estate market is regulated and made transparent it`s not going to reflect the true demand and paying power of the population. At most it will go down 20-25% from here and stay put for some time.

Property prices will see sharp drop immediately, the reactions and the tremors are already felt and the casualties will be reported in 3 months time.The corrupt Indian politicians who have parked money in real estates, have already withdrawn leaving the recent speculators high and dry. The black money is now stashed abroad. I am Venkat from Training8m, Queensland Australia...

Dear Mr.Venkat C,

If your Time Horizon is more than 2-3 years this is GOD GIFTED Opportunity to Invest in Selected ( not any) Equity Mutual Funds
( Large Cap Oriented ).

If you are already Invested in Above Average Performing Mutual Funds & incurred substantial Losses, you may wait for more than 1 year to Recover Losses. If you Redeem the Investments, you may not Recover the Losses.

If you are Invested in Below Average Performing Funds(Midcap/ Smallcap), Switch to Better Performing Large Cap Equity Funds.

Best Wishes,

P.C.Sharma...

Dear Radhika Nandlal.

All Banks give Loan Against F.D.

ICICI Bank offers Overdraft Facility ( Better than Loan)against Following ( Called LAS Account )

Selected Shares
Equity & Debt Mutual Funds
FD
NSC
Kisan Vikas Patra.
ULIPS of ICICI / LIC

Best option is to Discontinue Premium Payment for Unwanted Insurance Policies or Sureender them( Considering Tax Implications & LOSS of Principal amount Paid)

ICICI & HDFC Banks also give Loan against GOLD

Dear nandarohit, investment should be goal/aim specific not for the market level. 2days Toppers may bite dust very next day. So u should invest first for ur goals & invest in funds which r regular in their performance & r part of Top quartile (Top 25% funds).

the list of such Top performing fund is already posted by fellow boarders. Plz check the same that it matches to ur risk appetite & goals & invest as per ur comfort level.

Plz. don`t invest in a lump sum, if u do have a lump sum amount plz. invest it first in Liq. + fund & then use weekly STP route to invest in ur target Eq. funds.

Thanks

Integrated Rate cut by all major central banks across world cant be ruled out. But chances of rate cut by FED after giving almost $1600 bn for bailout & cash loan remain low. Australia has also cut rate by 1%. Also, china might see rate cut....

Speaking to CNBC-TV18 James Chirnside, CIO at Asia Pac Asset Mgmt says if one has an allocation plan of over 12 months then it is a good idea to stat putting little bit of money into markets now. I expect some form of global coordinated Central Bank cut in rates said Chirnside.
