What is your favourite investment instrument and why?
People often ask me what my favourite investment product is—equity, mutual funds (MFs), portfolio management service (PMS), or something else. No instrument is good or bad. It’s only as good as its alignment with the person using it.
However, if I had to choose one vehicle that truly creates wealth for the long-term, it would be a well-constructed, diversified MF portfolio. Because it allows you to own high-quality businesses and helps you participate in the growth of India and the world, bringing discipline through systematic investment plans (SIPs). Most importantly, it provides a transparent, low-cost, and tax-efficient way to build wealth. More often than not, the real question is not what to invest in, but when.
Could you explain the importance of goal-based financial planning?

ITR Filing 2025: What Last-Minute Filers Must Keep In Mind
As the extended income-tax filing deadline of September 15 approaches, many last-minute filers are rushing to gather documents and avoid penalties. While the basic method of filing income tax returns (ITRS) stays the same, there are a few changes you should note when filing your returns for financial year 2024-25 (FY25) or assessment year 2025-26 (AY26). These include changes in ITR forms, revised Form 16 disclosures, and expanded reporting requirements for crypto assets and foreign income. For instance, deduction disclosures under Sections, such as 80C and 80D, have become more detailed. Also, the tax deducted at source (TDS) schedule has been updated and requires you to mention the exact section under which tax was deducted. It's important for taxpayers to pay closer attention this year.
