Key Questions Answered
According to Agra-based Chartered Accountant Sunil Kumar Singh, out of a 30,000 rupee salary, 7,000 rupees goes to rent and about 3,000 rupees to essential bills like electricity, leaving 20,000 rupees. By budgeting for groceries, commuting, and entertainment, and setting aside money for essentials right when the salary arrives, one can save around 6 to 7 thousand rupees monthly.
The CA advises setting aside money for essential expenses immediately upon receiving the salary, such as keeping about 3,000 rupees for transport or petrol and around 1,000 rupees for mobile phone recharges. The beginning of savings should focus on building an emergency fund to handle unexpected medical or job-related situations.
After setting up an emergency fund, individuals can consider bank savings accounts, fixed deposits (FDs), or starting a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) of about 3,000 rupees in mutual funds. Long-term SIP investments can provide the benefits of compounding, though they carry market risks and non-guaranteed returns.
