Hi, Kindly note that the current FY is 2018-19. I am assuming you would like to plan for FY 2019-20, from now itself.. May I know if you have adequate life insurance cover? Do you have family members who are financially dependent on you?

Hi, In case you are married, you may buy a Term life insurance plan instead of Traditional Life insurance plans like money-back or Endowment. You may consider saving in Public Provident Fund and ELSS mutual fund scheme for long term. Can consider taking a Health insurance plan. Kindly read :
