Kindly advise accordingly. Regards, Deepak Joshi

Hi Deepak,

At this age, its not recommended to put money in any risk associated investments (like equities)

1. As you mother is going to turn 60 in few months, I would suggest to put 50% of the money in FD as senior citizens
get more ROI comparetively. Please understand that it can’t beat the inflation, but its more safer and can be used in emergency
purposes.

2. 20% can be used to clear any outstanding bills like home loans or any other liabilities.

3. Remainin 30% can be invested in debts.

I’m just anybody like you, so please lets wait for Sreekanth’s inputs on this.

Thanks,
Ravi A.

Hi dear, Is your mother dependent on the income generated by this corpus (Rs 7 Lakh)? Whether she has any other source of income to lead comfortable retirement life? Does she has adequate health cover? Is she dependent on you?
