Basic Rules for Advance Financial Planning
Nominal Rate: Basic rate which is without any adjustment or compounding
Effective Rate: Compounded rate
Investment rates: Annual Effective rate. E.g. equity shares, mutual funds, gold ETF etc.
Savings rate: Annual Nominal rate. E.g. bank FD
Loan rate: Annual Nominal rate
Rule 1: When investment is made every year, use Annual Effective rate as i/y
Rule 2: When investment is made M/Q/S, use M/Q/S nominal rate.
Note: The rates of return quoted on investment are the maximum return which can be achieved. So if we consider those rates as nominal our effective return will be more than the rate quoted, which is not possible.
Rule 3: When withdrawals are subject to inflation use fisher’s real rate equation.
Real rate = [(1+r)/(1+i)] – 1
Where: r = rate of return, I = rate of inflation
For M/Q/S withdrawal we need M/Q/S nominal real rate.
Components of Loan Amortization Schedule
Step 1: calculation of EMI
Process:
PV = loan amount
N = no. of period
i/y = applicable loan rate M/Q/S/A
pmt = EMI (always use end mode of calculation)
Step 2: Repayment Schedule (assume 1,00,000 loan, rate 12% and period is 10 years)
Month |
Opening Balance |
Interest |
EMI |
Capital |
1 | 100000 | =100000*0.01=1000 | 1435 | =1435-1000=435 |
2 | =100000-435=99565 | =99565*0.01=995.65 | 1435 | =1435-995.65=439.35 |
Loan and Taxation: Interest on housing loan is eligible for deduction u/s 24 and principal component is eligible for deduction u/s 80C up to maximum of Rs.1,00,000.
Pre-construction interest is to be amortized equally over period of 5 years after the construction gets over.
Public Provident Fund Account:
Interest | 8% |
Compounding | Yearly |
Minimum Investment | 500 |
Maximum Investment | 70,000 |
Tenure | 15 year tenure, extend in a block of 5 years |
Tax Benefit | 80C |
Loan | After 3 years – 25% of the 2nd preceding year |
Premature withdrawal |

Who can invest? | Individuals |
Maturity of PPF is 15 full financial years i.e. account continues for 15 years after the year in which the account is opened. If the account is opened on 1st January 2000, then doesn’t mature on 31st December 2015 but it matures on 1st April 2015.
Deposit in the account should be made within first 5 days of the month to get the interest of that particular month. There can be maximum 12 monthly deposits in this account per year. Interest on monthly investment is calculated on simple basis during the year and gets compounded at the end of the year.
Example: deposit of 1000 every month in an account which is opened on 1st January 2000.
For the financial year 1999-2000 the accumulated value will be:
Deposit |
Months for which interest to be calculated |

20.00 |

Total |

Hence accumulated value on 31st March,2000 is 3000+40 = 3040.
Loan would be available from this account form 1st April,2003 which will be 25% of the balance of the year ended on 31st March 2002.
Loan eligibility is only for 2 years after that withdrawal option commences. In the same case it commences from 1st April,2005 and eligible amount will be 50% of the closing balance of the year ended on 31st March 2002.
This account can be extended in the block of 5 years. Number of extensions is not limited.

In Exam 5 the questions which scares everyone the most are either of educational goal or travel goal. Publishing some more questions for better preparation.
Question No.16 (Very important structure to get through in Exam 5)
Tax efficient strategy to accumulate funds and derisk with switches periodically
Strategy:
Funds are withdrawn closer to goal from Debt fund, while funds are switched from a Feeder Fund, generally Equity Fund systematically with tax efficiency in mind.
Goal:
As a tax efficient strategy to meet entire education expenses, a Debt Fund and an Equity Fund is started today with initial investment of Rs. 5,00,000 each. Different SIPs are also started immediately, in Debt Fund for 4 years and in Equity Fund for 10 years. Debt Fund is used to meet entire Basic Education expenses. The Debt Fund is also used to meet the yearly expenses of secondary education and higher education from lump sum amounts switched at certain intervals from the Equity Fund in the following manner: First; at age 8 to meet secondary education expenses from age 11 to 13; Second, at age 11 to meet the secondary education expenses from age 14 to 16; Third, at age 14 to meet the higher education expenses. The expenses due in a year are withdrawn in the beginning. What should be the amounts of monthly SIPs in Debt Fund and Equity Fund today?
Question No.17 (This concept was there in exam a year before, now reintroduced)
Accumulation for goal by investing in Inflation Indexed Bonds
Concept:
Conventional Bonds: The maturity value is the face value. The coupons are in the range 7% – 9% generally by a small margin over the expected inflation of the period of bonds.
Inflation Indexed Bonds: The maturity value is indexed to inflation. The coupons are small 1.4% – 1.5%, but are paid every year on the indexed face value.
In order to meet the goal of higher education of his son after 15 years, a person chooses to invest in two series of Inflation Indexed Bonds, each having a 10-year maturity period. One series is to be invested immediately and the other after 5 years. A sum of Rs. 10 lakh is invested in the first series, while the invested sum is increased to Rs. 15 lakh in the second series. The real coupon is 1.5% while average inflation over the entire period is estimated to be 5% p.a. The coupons to be received and the maturity proceeds of individual bond series are invested in risk free instruments at 6% p.a. till required for higher education. What would be the extent of accumulation for the higher education goal?
Question No.18
Accumulation through SIP and derisking by switching periodically for gradual utililization for goal
Situation: | ||
Holiday expenses coating today | 1,00,000 | Rs. p.a. |
Cost escalation of holiday expenses | 7% | p.a. |
Holiday expenses required annually after | 20 | years |
Number of years for which holiday expenses required | 25 | years |
Strategy:
The goal being aspirational initially high risk is assumed by investing a fixed amount monthly in an aggressive asset allocation yielding 12% p.a. for 15 years. Beginning at the end of 16 years 30% of accumulated funds are switched to a defensive asset allocation yielding 8% p.a. every alternate year until full switch after 20 years. The holiday expenses are annually drawn from this defensive asset allocation.
What amount is required to be invested every month in the aggressive asset allocation starting immediately?
