Nothing can beat a spreadsheet but for anyone who’s starting their financial journey, INDMoney is an awesome product that covers almost everything (Investment, Debt, Ins)
e.g. Stocks, Mutual Funds, FD, EPF/PPF, Bonds, PMS, and other instruments.
But for few other use cases, I also like Kuvera (@Kuvera_In) Simple, easy to use, and smooth reporting for taxes, capital gains, etc.
There are few other offerings e.g. Remittances, Digital Gold, Tax Harvesting and Insurance, etc.
Quite biased here, Love the offerings, from Transfer, Credit Cards, Wealth Management, I've found them covering almost all my banking needs in a single app.
The credit card offers better fraud protection as compared to debit cards, most of them come with a fraud liability cover that saves you from any fraudulent event.
Just dispute the transaction immediately and the bank will do the job further.
From Underwears to Room Fresheners and pencil to electronics, groceries, and apparel. Amazon is selling almost everything on their own just by rebranding,
Thanks to our regulators for giving them an opportunity to eat the business of our Indian Sellers.
Don’t trust me? ⬇️🧵
Just go through this Wiki, Many Amazon brands are already available in India.
It’s absolutely fine to learn from people who are younger than you, experience does play a significant role but it’s not a bar anymore.
I keep writing on personal finance, credit cards, my startup exp, etc and surprisingly I got some bad wishes and hate today. Here’s a note.⬇️
Some day to day commentary I come across:
I'm older so I probably know better.
How you can earn 3-4x of me?
How you can be a good leader with just 4-5 years of work ex, I’ve 15 so....
You shouldn’t talk about Personal Finance without spending 10 yr in the market... etc etc.
Just a bit of an Introduction. I started earning from part-time gigs when I was just 16-17. Proudly funded my 10+2 education and coaching fee, took admission in engineering, got my first credit card, made mutual fund investments, did solo traveling to almost 15 states in India.
Credit Score tells a lot about one’s discipline with finance and credit management.
Unlike the US, we’ve only a few firms checking CIBIL scores for employment. I highly believe it should be part of the recruitment and background check function.
Any startups doing this practice?
Okay so this is blowing, Thanks to trollers.
First of all Credit Card and Credit Score is not at all related to any privileges or elite class.
If you believe it is, stop reading this thread right here!
Now anyone can get credit cards regardless of your credit score, profession, and salary amount.
Just make a fixed deposit of a minimum of ₹10/20k and you will be assigned a 90% credit limit of your FD amount.
SBI, HDFC Bank, Axis, ICICI, BoB, all leading issuers support this.
Papa has a suitcase full of LIC bonds, I wanted to dig around returns so went LIC office yesterday to get the surrender value quotes. 📈
Read this Mini Thread 🧵 before your family LIC uncle tries to sell you the next policy!
‘Don’t mis insurance with an Investment.’
So LIC Agents earn the commission for the policies they sale. LIC offers 25% to 35% commission on the policy premium for the first year, then 7.5% for 2nd & 3rd Year + 5% till the policy maturity.
Now, I wouldn’t call this a SCAM but for sure it’s the biggest MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) scheme ever, well marketed/sponsored by authorities.
You can sell anything in India if you can play around emotion and trust, LIC has built a robust network of branch, distributors/agents.
