Frequently Asked Questions
Which tax regime is better for 15 Lakh salary?
For a ₹15 Lakh income, the New Tax Regime is often beneficial unless you have total deductions (HRA, 80C, 80D, etc.) exceeding ₹3.75 Lakhs.
How accurate is the SIP return calculation?
The SIP calculator assumes a constant rate of return (CAGR). While actual market returns fluctuate, this tool provides a realistic projection for long-term financial planning.
Can I save tax on FD interest?
Interest from Fixed Deposits is fully taxable. However, investing in a 5-Year Tax Saver FD allows for a deduction under Section 80C of the Old Tax Regime.
What is the difference between SIP and Lumpsum?
SIP allows you to invest small amounts regularly (e.g., monthly), reducing market timing risk through rupee cost averaging. Lumpsum is a one-time investment, ideal when markets are low or you have a large surplus.
Is Home Loan interest tax deductible?
Yes, under Section 24(b), you can claim up to ₹2 Lakhs deduction on home loan interest in the Old Regime. In the New Regime, this deduction is generally not available for self-occupied properties.
How does a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) work?
SWP allows you to withdraw a fixed amount regularly from your mutual fund corpus while the remaining balance continues to grow. It is an excellent tool for generating a regular pension-like income in retirement.
