  risks in life.

Financial Planning
Financial decisions form the basis of much of
what we do in our lives. Poorly thought out
personal finance decisions can at best cause
great anxiety and at worst lead to bankruptcy,
whereas well thought out, sound financial
decisions can lead to a prosperous
lifestyle.Financial Planning is the process of
identifying a persons financial goals,
evaluating existing resources, and designing the
financial strategies that help the person achieve
those goals.

What is investment planning ?
Once we have saved enough money for emergencies,
how can we grow our wealth? Investment refers to
a commitment of funds to one or more assets that
will be held over some future time period.
11
Why investment planning?
All of us work for money. It is equally important
to ensure that money works for us. We invest to
improve our future welfare. Funds to be invested
come from assets already owned, borrowed money,
and savings or foregone consumption. By
foregoing consumption today and investing the
savings, we expect to enhance our future
consumption possibilities. In investment
planning asset allocation plays important role.
12
Asset allocation

• Its paramount for wealth creation
• There is no fixed rule for asset allocation
• But as the age goes up the risk assets such as
  equity has to be lowered
• For instance if you are 40 you can restrict your
  exposure to equity between 50-60 per cent.
• Asset allocation can be in the range of
  50202010(equity,debt,real estate and gold) for
  a conservative investor.
• Fixing target and profit booking are the two
  important key for wealth creation.

13
Why insurance planning ?
Needing insurance is like needing a parachute. If
it isn't there the first time, chances are you
won't need it again! Insurance is not for the
person who passes away, it is for those who
survive.
14
what is insurance planning ?
Insurance Planning takes into account the risks
that surround you and then provides an adequate
coverage against those risks. Insurance is the
most common method used for transferring risks.
It shifts the risk from an individual to a group.
It also provides a means for paying unforeseen
losses. Insurance provides an important means of
preventing risk from interfering with your
financial objectives.
15
Term Insurance

• If you are 30 years and wish to buy a term
  insurance for Rs 50 lakh till age of 60 the
  premium out go per annum will be Rs 13401 and it
  will be Rs 21067 if you are 40 and if you are 50
  for the same cover it will be Rs 37171 for a
  period of 10 years( till age of 60).How many
  times of my annual earnings I require insurance?
  The idea is to protect monthly income even if
  the bread winner is not there.

16
Retirement planning?
Some may like it and others may not! But
retirement is a reality for every working person.
It is important to plan for your
post-retirement life if you wish to retain your
financial independence and maintain a comfortable
standard of living even when you are no longer
earning. According to NSSO 93 per cent of working
classes has no social security.
17
Case Study

• Assume if you are at 40 and your currently
  monthly expenses is Rs 40000 and annual
  requirement is Rs 4.8 lakhs.Taking a inflation at
  6 per cent at the end of 20 years( at the age of
  60) you need annual pension of Rs 15.4 lakh.To
  get this pension at the time of retirement you
  should have a corpus of Rs 1.63 crore and it
  should earn 8 per cent interest. To reach this
  target he should save monthly a sum of Rs 16340
  for next 240 months and it should earn an
  interest of 12 per cent.

18
Paying tax
It would be great if all of us could pay our
taxes with a smile on our face, but
unfortunately, this is not so Therefore, the
question arises How to minimize our tax
liabilities?
19
ways to reduce tax liabilities

• Three ways used by the taxpayers are
• Tax evasion
• Tax Avoidance
• Tax Planning
• Tax Evasion means trying to reduce taxes by
  concealing income, inflation of expenses,
  falsification of accounts and wilful violation of
  the provisions of the Income-tax Act.
• .

20
ways to reduce tax liabilities contd
Tax Avoidance means minimizing the incidence of
tax by adjusting the affairs in such a manner
that it falls within the four corners of the
laws Tax planning is an arrangement of financial
activities in such a way that maximum tax
benefits, as provided in the income-tax act are
availed of. It envisages use of certain
exemptions, deductions, rebates and relief's
provided in the act.
21
What is estate planning?
Estate is the total property, real and personal,
owned by an individual prior to distribution
through a Trust or Will. Real property is real
estate and personal property includes everything
else, for example cars, household items, and bank
accounts. Estate Planning distributes the real
and personal property to an individual's heirs.
22

Why estate planning?
Example Parveen Babi considered to be one of
the most successful Bollywood actresses in the
1970s. She did not leave a will. Result. Fight
s amongst relatives on her property after her
death.
23

• Reliance Group had a gross turnover of Rs.
  75,000 Crore or USD 15 Billion at the time of
