But still we feel little scary in paying our hard earned money. So don’t worry cut down your tax and pay less money because you are not obliged to pay tax for which you are lawfully liable.

  • Minimize your stocks
  • It is always better to sell stocks which are slow and less profit is oriented from it. The stocks attract taxes.
  • Talk your landlord and try to cut down the rental cost by leaving the areas that are not excessively used by you.
  • Paying bill on time is good but never pay it too early. You can use early payment discount if offered.
  • Never sell your product in loss. Making profit in business is very critical and it will only decide you are in profit or not.
  • Rely on credit cards, it is easy and have interest free period utilize it.

Planning is always for one’s own good. You, yourself are responsible for personal financial planning and investment. The success rate of the investment totally depends on your thoughtful skill and envision.

Entrusting any decision related to investment motivated by professional advisers may attract severe financial risk. So it is always better to go for adequate personal knowledge, control and better understanding to minimize the risk of investment.


Individual personally should read the offer page document to understand the risk of the investment. Any carelessness from the investor side may indulge him in  dreadful challenges for definitive success. this situation arises due to lack of financial planning and knowledge.

However a genuine investor can argue with me on the point, ‘how to gain knowledge’? And I have still not a very strong point to defend myself. The information coming out of investment industry is not very appropriate and also lacks detail. Electronic media and different financial news channel and internet have tried to disseminate information and it has been successful to some extent.

Still you have to be very careful as investing money is not buying it is actually earning, so earn for your own good.

We have discussed almost all the concept related to annuity and finally I have moved to the last blog. And in this, I will talk about the most important point according to user’s perspective i.e. ‘payment’ and ‘payment terms’.

Paying annuity premium makes you entitled for monthly pension after your retirement. It is up to you to choose from variable annuity or fixed annuity payment (see the first one in the series). The amount of payment depends upon the investment you made. Now an option is with you, to choose from, when the mode of payment is concerned

There is lifetime payment. It gives very smart scale of pension making you able to live extra large life. The demerit with this mode of payment is that there is no survivor benefit. Means, your dependent will not get any benefit from your annuity.

The second mode of payment is period annuity; you have to decide particular time frame say 20 years or 15 years for which you want payment. You will be getting payment for that time frame and in the worst case if you die before the time frame your beneficiary will be continued with the payment

The third one is survivor annuity; this is for your loved one. Your dependent will receive payment even after you die.

Please note any withdrawal before the age of 60 will attract 10% of withdrawal penalty.

we have talked about annuity, its type and tax benefit of the same. Today I will talk about the charges behind the annuity.

Sometime your agent may ask for some charge for certain annuities. This may give you wrong impression, but it is true. There are some fees associated with some annuity. And it becomes more authentic when it comes, the case of variable annuities. Common variable annuities may include following monetary need.

·          Administrative fees

·          Charges for Mortality and expense risk

·          Some charges for sub accounts

·          Charges for special riders.

So, to avoid any kind of complexity, it is always suggested for annuity user to read the annuity prospectus very carefully. They are also requested to go for a comparable study before going for any investment. The second point I want to make clear regarding annuity is that, in case for any reason you break the annuity before its maturation, you need to pay certain charges. This charge is categorized as surrender charges. These charges start at 7% and continue to decrease until it reaches to 0%. However there is some product available which has no surrender charges. The annuities with no charges are liquid annuities. It has higher operating charges.

Lastly a universal truth regarding annuity, one is charged with 10% withdrawal fees, if he/she takes money out before the age of 60. So plan your annuity very carefully and enjoy the life after retirement.
