Tax saving options to help meet your long-term goals: Know them before you invest !!
The last date to save tax on income earned during the financial year 2020-21 is March 31, 2021. In the previous year, the last date was extended by the government, but may not be extended this time. For many of us, tax saving time begins only when there is a call from the accounts department. Instead of being a one-time affair, efficient tax planning should begin in the start of every financial year. This approach helps you not only save tax but also link your tax saving investments to your medium to long term goals.

Mutual Fund: How Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) Help You Save For Long Term Goals
Mutual funds have emerged as one of the simplest financial tools for an investor to achieve financial goals. Whether one has the need to save for short-term goals or for long term goals such as children education, arranging a down payment for a home loan or for one’s own retirement, there are mutual funds available in all variations. What defines the working and the performance of each of them is the underlying asset-class.

Buying The Right Health Insurance Plan: Know The Variants And How They Work!
