I want to invest in equity. Should I choose equity mutual funds or invest directly in stocks? If I go with stocks, should I open a demat account with a zero-brokerage platform or a full-service broker? How are they different?
Mutual funds offer diversification, professional management, and suit long-term goals even with small systematic investment plans (SIPs), making them ideal for beginners.
Investing in direct stocks offers potentially higher returns and zero expense ratios, but requires significant market understanding and analytical and research skills. They also carry higher risks. For newcomers, a better alternative is to start with index funds to understand stock markets, before attempting to invest in direct equities.

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.
