Best investment options for salaried persons in India

To build a strong financial backbone, one should invest the money in the right financial instrument. Though, not every investment guarantees substantial returns, but, if you invest wisely and for a good amount of time, the potential to gain healthy returns is higher. Especially, a salaried person who has to manage investments and expenses within a stipulated income. Hence, a salaried individual need to consider amount, risk, risk, and return while determining the best investment option for them.

Here are top investment options

Salaried individuals have different investment requirement than self-employed or other professionals. They have fixed monthly cash inflow to meet up their expenses and save for various life goals. While most of the salaried individuals are covered under post-retirement security in the form of employees provident fund or other mandatory retirement schemes, the corpus generated are often inadequate to meet post-retirement schemes.

1. Equity Mutual Fund

Equity mutual funds (MFs) invest at least 65% of their corpus in equities. Being invested in equities, these funds do better than fixed income instruments and inflation by a wide margin over the long term. These funds are best suited for retail investors who want to invest in stocks but lack the required expertise or time to do so. Equity funds also include a special category of funds called Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS), which qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. These funds also have the shortest lock-in period of 3 years among all the Section 80C options.Investment in equity mutual fund can be started with just Rs 5000 for lumpsum and additional investments can be made for just Rs 1000. In case of ELSS, the minimum and subsequent investment amount is Rs 500 per month. If you opt for SIPs instead of lumpsum investment, the minimum instalment is Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 for ELSS and other mutual funds, respectively.

2. Debt Mutual Fund

Debt mutual funds invest in fixed income instruments such as corporate debt securities, corporate bonds, government securities, and money market instruments, among others. Although debt funds are prone to minimal risk, they are less volatile than equities generating higher returns than fixed deposits. Moreover, unlike fixed deposits, debt funds do not levy premature withdrawal penalty. However, a few debt funds may charge exit load of up to 3% on redeeming your investment before a pre-determined period.

3. Fixed Deposit

Fixed deposits guarantee interest income and principal repayment at booked rates, regardless of any changes in the card rate during the deposit tenure. At present, small finance banks offer highest rate of Interest up to 9% p.a. (up to 9.6% p.a. for senior citizens) while the highest card rates offered by other private sector banks go up to 8.25% p.a. (8.75% p.a. for senior citizens). The highest card rates offered by public sector banks go up to 7% p.a. (up to 7.5% p.a. for senior citizens). One can also save taxes under Section 80C by investing in tax-saving FDs. However, interest earned is taxable as per tax slab of the depositor. These tax-saving FDs come with a lock-in period of 5 years.

4. Public Provident Fund

PPF is one of the safest funds among all investment options because of the sovereign guarantee from the government. PPF investments also qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C. With a lock-in period of 15 years, PPF is currently offering 8% returns compounded annually. However, the Ministry of Finance analysis the interest rate every financial quarter basis the government bond yields. Additionally, you can extend your investment period after the maturity of 15 years with 5 years block. The minimum amount is Rs 500 and Maximum amount is Rs 1.5 lakh in a financial year.

Lack of liquidity is the PPF’s biggest drawback. Partial withdrawal is permissible only from the 7th FY onwards. Premature closure of the account is allowed after the 5th financial year for medical treatment of serious ailments or life-threatening diseases or for higher education.

5. National Pension System

NPS is a market-linked product for retirement planning. Salaried investors not falling under the ‘Government or Corporate’ model can join NPS under the ‘All Citizens of India’ model. The investments remain locked-in till you reach 60 years of age, which can be extended up to 70 years. Minimum 40% of the accumulated corpus has to be invested to avail annuity while the remaining tax-exempt amount is withdrawn on maturity. You can avail tax deduction of up to Rs 1.5 lakh under Section 80C and an additional deduction of up to Rs 50,000 under Section 80 CCD 1(B).

6. Voluntary Provident Fund

VPF is an extension of the EPF, yielding the same interest rate. Apart from mandatory contribution towards EPF, you can voluntarily choose to increase your contribution to up to 100% of your basic salary and dearness allowance in VPF. The interest rate is reviewed by the government every year and the investment amount qualifies for tax deduction under Section 80C. The interest earned is tax-exempt provided the employee continues to be in service for 5 years or more.

7. National Savings Certificate

National Savings Certificate is a fixed income investment scheme with a lock-in period of 5 years offering an interest rate of 8% compounded annually. Just like the PPF, the NSC interest rates are reviewed every quarter. With minimum deposit of Rs 100 and no maximum deposit limit, you can claim tax deduction of up to Rs 1.5 lakh under Section 80C.

8. Unit Linked Insurance Plan

ULIP combines life insurance with market-linked investment. A part of the premium goes towards insuring your life while the other part is invested in stocks, bonds, market instruments, etc. They offer both death and maturity benefits. ULIPs come with a lock-in period of 5 years and qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C. Insurers also offer various endowment options to suit varying risk appetites. One can also switch between these endowment options to cater to the changing risk craving or market conditions.

Section 80C: What are the 10 ways to save income tax?

Under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, people have the opportunity to save income tax by investing up to Rs 1.5 lakh in various schemes in a financial year. Most people save tax by investing only in LIC, PPF etc.

But there are many other options where tax can be saved under section 80C by investing. In this article, we will learn about some such investment options.

Under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, people have the opportunity to save income tax by investing up to Rs 1.5 lakh in various schemes in a financial year. Most people save tax by investing only in LIC, PPF etc.

But there are many more options where tax can be saved under the Sec 80C by investing. In this article, we will learn about some such investment options.

1. Employees Provident Fund (EPF)

The rupee is deposited in the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) which is deducted 12% of the basic salary of every employee every month. Income tax exemption can be claimed on an amount of up to 1.5 lakh in EPF. 8% interest will be given on the amount deposited in EPF for the financial year 2017-18.

2. Investment in Public Provident Fund (PPF)

Deposits deposited in PPF account are eligible for tax deduction under Section 80C. For opening an account in PPF, an account can be opened with a minimum of Rs 500 whereas a tax exemption can be claimed by depositing a maximum of Rs 1.5 lakh in an entire financial year. Interest is received every year on the amount deposited in PPF, which is determined by the Ministry of Finance. The interest rate for the financial year 2017-18 is 7.8%. PPF has a tenure of 15 years, after which the withdrawal is tax-free. The loan can also be taken on the amount deposited in PPF.

3. Investment in Fixed Deposit (FD)

If the amount deposited in the fixed deposit is kept in the bank in the income tax scheme for 5 years, then that amount is eligible for tax exemption under Section 80C. Tax benefits of up to Rs 1.5 lakh can be made in it. There is an interest of 7-9% on the deposit amount. However, every bank pays different interests in it. One problem in this is that if you withdraw the deposit after the maturity period, then the amount received as interest is added to the taxable income.

4. National Savings Certificate (NSC)

NSCs are used to save tax in the financial year in which they are purchased. Under Section 80c, up to 1.5 lakh can be invested in NSC to save taxes. NSCs can be purchased from registered post offices but have a maturity period of 5 years. Interest is paid annually, but this interest is taxed. The current interest rate on the NSC for the financial year 2016-17 is 8.1%.

5. Investment in Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIP)

ULIPs are a mixture of insurance and investment. A portion of the amount invested in ULIP is used to provide insurance and the remaining amount is invested in the stock market. Investments up to Rs 1.5 lakh in ULIP are eligible to save income tax under Section 80C. ULIPs do not offer guaranteed returns because they are equity market-linked products. The disadvantage of ULIPs is that they do not clearly state where the investment has been made and how much money has been deducted for commissions and other expenses.

6. Investment in Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana

Under Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, an account can be opened at any time from the birth of a girl till the age of 10 years. It can be deposited from a minimum of 1000 rupees to a maximum 1.5 lakh rupees every year. Income up to Rs 1.5 lakh is tax-free through this scheme under Section 80c. The interest rate for the financial year 2016-17 on the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana has been set at 8.6%. There is no tax on the total interest received at the end of this plan. This account lasts for 21 years from the date of opening of the account or till the age of the girl is 18 years.

7. Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS)

Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) is a product of the Government of India. It is one of the safest investment options. Individuals above 60 years of age can open this account. Investments cannot be withdrawn for 5 years under this scheme. The depositor can deposit this and extend it for 3 years. Depositors get 8% - 9% interest in this scheme. Interest received from the investment is not exempt from tax.

8. Tuition Fee of Children

The amount paid in the form of tuition fees for the education of one or two children is exempt from income tax and you can avail it under Section 80C. If the children are twins, then the third child can also get the benefit. Keep in mind that only the fees paid in India come under its purview.

9. Infrastructure Bond

  Infrastructure bonds are popularly known as infra bonds. These are issued by infrastructure companies, the government does not release them. In this Section 80C gets a rebate of up to Rs 1 lakh in income tax while in Section 80 CCCF an additional exemption of Rs 20,000 is available.

10. Home Loan Payment

You are eligible for exemption under Section 80C of Principal Repayment of Home Loan. If you have bought a new house and taken a home loan for that, then you can take advantage of it in Section 80C. It is to be noted here that the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) of a home loan has two components - "principal" and "interest". You will get exemption under Section 80C only for the amount of principal share. The interest portion is also eligible for income tax exemption but not under 80C, which is under section 24.

In this way, you can save income tax in the above 10 ways. It is important to keep in mind here that the government gives a discount on investing money in all these mediums so that the trend of saving and investment can be promoted among the people.

This type of investment can reduce the risk of people and at the same time increase the flow of money in the economy, which will be helpful in meeting the financial shortage in important sectors.

Atal Pension Yojana(APY)-Scheme Details, Amount, Elgibility

There are many investments that we must look upon to make our tomorrow secure from any financial problems. For government employees, there are so many ways like GPF, PPF, and many more. Thus, for the unorganized sector, there are various schemes came into force. Atal Pension Yojana or APY is one of them. So, let’s know more about it!

What Is Atal Pension Yojana?

Atal Pension Yojana or APY is implemented with an objective to provide the pension benefits to individuals in the unorganized sector. Pension Funds Regulatory Authority of India (PFRDA) synchronizes this plan. However, those who are in the organized sector and have no recourse for pension can also apply for this scheme.

The Central Government of India has launched three programs:

Jan Suraksha schemes during 2015-16, Atal Pension Yojana (APY),

Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), and

Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY).

Due to immense public response from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana to avail banking with zero balance account, our former Finance Minister Late Shri Arun Jaitley decided to create an expanded and enhanced version of the National Pension Scheme, i.e., Atal Pension Yojana. It is a replacement for the former Swavalamban pension Yojana. In Atal Pension Yojana (APY), the investor will receive their accumulated amount as a monthly payment, just as a regular income.

In case, if you (the investor) pass away, your family or better half avails of it. However, if both, i.e., you and your spouse pass away, your nominee will receive the bulk of the amount. Hence, it’s a source of income in old age.

Thus, it helps people of retirement ages to save money for future needs. The entire bulk pension money depends on the amount you devote towards it every month. Added to this, your age is also taken into consideration. One can get this amount from the age of 60 years.

What Are The Extensions We Have From NPS In APY?

APY was launched in 2015 by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. On the one hand, where NPS is for everyone, APY focuses on the unorganized sector. According to a circular issued by the Income Tax Department in 2016, contributions to APY will be eligible for the same tax benefit as NPS.

a. Age

The customer should be at least 18 years of age to open an NPS account. The maximum age is 55 years. For APY, a person must be 18 years or older to apply. The maximum age for contributing is 40 years.

b. Investment

There is no maximum investment limit for NPS, whereas APY works on a predetermined monthly contribution. Suppose you start investing as early at the age of 18 and invests Rs 210 per month for 42 years of his life. Then you will earn Rs 5,000 periodically.

c. Minimum Investment

Under the NPS scheme, you have to contribute a minimum of Rs 500 per month, while under APY, there are three payment modes for contribution: monthly, quarterly, and half-yearly. Thus, you’re required to pay a monthly payment of Rs 42 to get a minimum guaranteed return of Rs 1000.

d. Returns

Under the APY scheme, returns get decided beforehand. The return ranges from Rs 1000 to Rs 5000, with the denominations of 1000. For NPS, returns get associated with markets. This means that returns for NPS customers can vary depending on various factors, such as market movement.

e. Premature Withdrawal

As per APY rules, you’re not allowed to withdraw money before the tenure ends. However, in case you die or have a severe medical condition, you shall be entitled to withdraw the amount. For NPS, premature withdrawals will only be allowed in Tier 2 accounts.

Features of Atal Pension Yojana:

1. Raising The Amount Of Subsidy:

As stated above, the amount of pension at your 60s solely depends on how much money you had devoted towards this. Apart from that, it also includes how early you had started investing. These pension amounts vary with the different contributions you made in your producing ages. It may happen that you may devote more bucks towards this plan. As certainly, it will yield bigger fruits in the future.

To make your way easier, the government has laid other paths too. Now, you can add up or deduct from your actual payment towards this every month. Let’s say in a month; you had other prioritized expenditures too. So, indeed, you’ll not be able to devote more money towards this. In that case, you’ll have to decrease your subsidy. Thus, the thread is in your hand itself. When to lose and when to tighten, it’s completely your choice. All you need to do is consult your bank branch manager about it and work upon the necessity.

2. Auto-Debit:

It gives you the facility of auto-debit, so you should not take this into consideration. It will be paid automatically. The only thing you need to consider is the sufficient balance in your account, which is linked with the APY account so as not to penalize yourself.

3. Pension:

It can be provided into denominations of Rs. 1000, Rs.2000, Rs.3000, Rs.4000, Rs.5000, depending on your monthly contributions.

4. Age-Restriction:

This scheme has an age restriction between 18 to 40 years. So college students can also invest in this scheme, and the maximum bar is of 40 years because in this scheme you have to contribute for at least 20 years.

5. Premature Withdrawal:

You’re not permissible to extract the amount earlier than the requisite day. However, in cases like any severe illness or death, you’re permissible for withdrawal. You can get the total amount you expended for such cases.

However, if you discontinue the plan before turning 60s for any reason except stated above, you’ll be in a great loss. Although the sum and interest you earned on that sum, will get paid back to you. Yet you won’t get granted for any government gifts or extra bucks on the interest earned on your sum.

After attaining the age of 60 years, you will be eligible to withdraw the entire amount after the closure of the scheme with the bank concerned, i.e. get a monthly pension. You can also take all the reimbursements in case of any tragic illness before attaining the age of 60.

6. Penalty Charges:

If you miss your payments, a penalty will be imposed. A fine of Re. 1 is imposed on the monthly endowment of Rs. 100 and more.Fine of Rs. 2 is imposed on the contribution of Rs. 101 to Rs.500.

Rs. 5 fine will be imposed on the contribution of Rs.501 and Rs. 1000.Rs. 10 will be imposed on the contribution of Rs. 1000 and above. If in case you’re unable to pay your subsidy for 6 months, your account gets seized temporarily. However, if the delay continues until 12 months or more, it collapses on its own. Then, your entire amount gets paid back to you.

7. Tax Deduction:

The tax deduction portion of this scheme falls under section 80CCD. As per section 80CCD, a max of 10% of your total basic wage. However, the max limit is Rs. 1,50,000. Additional discount of Rs. 50,000 is allowed under Section 80CCD (1B) for devoting to Atal Pension Yojana.
