Best place to park 25 lakhs for Pensioned Employee?
Folks, this is for my parents. Let’s suppose we have huge amount in FD, and want to divert some portion of that to any place other than FD, from Tax saving perspective, what is the Best avenue? Please note that it is hard earned retirement money, risk appetite will be a moderate. What all are best lump-sum investment ways? Index Funds? Actively managed Mutual Funds? Anything else?

Never move retirement funds to anywhere other that secur3d investments like FD or RBI bonds.
Mutual fund sahai hai is all ok until shit hits the roof. The same people will come say that markt crash hogaya and walk away.
Good point. But my father is fed up of high tax deduction, due to tax on FD. If that amount is shifted to MF, all that taxation will be escaped until redemption; and that too may be just 10% tax. So I was thinking from that angle. Is there anything less risky than equity MF, but better than FD?
I'm assuming they also have other income streams which are getting them to taxable slab. Have a look at SWP - Systematic withdrawal plan. Keep it in large cap fund and withdraw only a portion of the amount as monthly expenses.
Diversify your lumpsum into FD, real estate(may be a small plot in your hometown), SGB(gold), senior citizen schemes
I hope they already have good health insurance. They can claim that in new regime.
Yeah, huge FD money is causing large tax outgo. How is taxation done on SGB? How does one get that?
Senior Citizens Savings Scheme, backed by the government.
It seems as bad as FD, except for the 80c benefit. Wanted to avoid FD like TDS deduction, as that causes 20+% tax deduction. For ex, equity has 10% tax feature, great for me. Is there anything similar to equity based MF?
