Retirement planning

Planning for retirement starts when earnings commence. Once retirement is reached it is often too late to plan effectively for later years. One of the primary goals of retirement planning is to establish and maintain financial independence on what becomes a more fixed income and lifestyle. The enemy of all retirees is inflation and the maintenance of spending power, given limited financial resources.

Another factor to consider is increased life span. Generally we are all living longer, due to the wonders of medical science. Retirement planning is thus an essential element of any financial plan. It is a comprehensive process for determining how much money you will need when you retire. Retirement planning also helps you identify the best ways to save for retirement given your financial situation.

Proper retirement planning requires a much longer period of time -- from the day you start working until well beyond your actual retirement date. In fact, it's never too early to start planning for your retirement. In India, many of us put off retirement planning because we are too busy trying to meet our immediate financial needs to think about what will happen 20 or 30 years hence.

Finally, a successful retirement plan requires your active involvement and long-term commitment. Some goals, objectives, wishes our retired and elderly clients have identified are:

  • to meet retirement with growing grace, confidence and respect
  • to maintain spending power of income in retirement
  • not to be a burden to our children in old age
  • to maximise wealth passed down the family
  • to maintain dignity and independence in old age
  • to provide fully the needs of the surviving spouse

Tax planning

Nobody can avoid TAX & Death. All you can do is take tax efficient decisions to ensures peace of mind. There are many tax laws which appear to be easy but are complicated and needs lot of surveillance.

Tax planning services may include evaluations in areas such as the rental or sale of real estate, exercise of stock options, calculating the tax impact upon the sale of investments etc. Proper estate plan ensure that you pass on your assets to the intended person only. We also offer advice on nominations, power of attorney and will as these factors play very important role in estate planning and their effective use is warranted.
