Investing & Deposits
Money you are putting away rather than borrowing: what the projections assume, and the small mechanical details that move the answer.
- SIP vs Lumpsum: Which Actually Ends Up Ahead?On the same money and the same return, a lumpsum wins on arithmetic. Why a SIP is still the right answer for most people in India.
- Why Your PPF Deposit Date Changes Your Maturity ValuePPF pays interest on the lowest balance between the 5th and month end. Depositing a day late costs you a month's interest, every month.
- PPF vs FD: Compare Them After Tax, Not BeforeAn FD at 7.5% and PPF at 7.1% are not what they look like. FD interest is taxed at your slab and PPF interest is not.
