When There Is A Will…….
Submitted as: Artham Vidya
My great grandfather, on my mother's side, was a local zamindar of sorts and he left a load of property to be distributed among his heirs. His will was not very detailed and just indicated a rough intention of how all his wealth and real estate holdings were to be disposed off after his death.
My grandfather died young, without leaving a will and now all that property – worth several hundreds of crores and consisting of prime property – are being battled over by his heirs and descendants, which include my mother and us. The case has been dragging on for more than two decades now and meanwhile many of the original claimants have already died.(read

Dividend Yield Funds: Investing Strategies
Submitted as: Artham Vidya
What kind of an investment strategy do Dividend Yield schemes follow?
Dividend yield schemes offer limited protection in falling market scenarios as such dividend paying stocks usually do not fall as much as the broader market. These schemes focus on the cash generated by the companies in which they invest business and this provides for stable returns even in volatile market conditions.
The dividend yield on a stock is inversely related to its price – that is, when the dividend yield (pay out) is high the lower is the price of the stock and the other way round. When the market goes up and stock prices are high, the dividend yield falls. On the other side, when markets are falling and stock prices are low, dividend yields rise. In either case, fund managers manage to make profits – in the first case from high prices and in the second case from higher yields.(read

Five Reasons Why You Should Start Investing Early
Submitted as: Artham Vidya
Most people – at least three-fourths of the population and this is applicable globally – do not start building their wealth when they are young. When I say young, I mean when you are in your early or mid-twenties and when you have just started on your career.
There are some rare individuals who do it and those are the people whom we point out and say that they are successful. You may become an entrepreneur at a late stage in your life and then win world renown but I am talking about building wealth very what you earn.(read

Switching Your Housing Loan: Some Tips
Submitted as: Artham Vidya
For a while now, I have been toying with the idea of shifting my home loan to another bank or housing finance company. While the service is great, the interest rates have become pretty high.
I am on a floating rate scheme so if there are any changes in the rate, my bank loses no time in applying the new rates. Unfortunately, over the last few years, there have been a series of hikes (in interest rates) and now I am feeling the pinch of the higher interest.(read

What You Should Know About Reward Points On Credit Cards
Submitted as: Artham Vidya
How Do these Reward Points Work?
Credit card issuing banks usually award you a point when you spend a certain amount of money with their card. This can vary from Rs 40 to Rs 100 depending on the bank (which issues the card) and where you buy it. This means that on every Rs 40 you spend, you get one reward point. So if you went on a shopping spree, spent Rs. 6000, and put all the payment on one credit card, you would have collected 150 reward points.(read

Why Do You Need Life Insurance?
Submitted as: Artham Vidya
I am not a great believer in life insurance. I know you may find this hard to believe but the fact is that I somehow find the whole idea of somebody benefiting from one's death rather distasteful.
I would rather invest the amount paid as premiums for a life policy, on some other instrument, which would give me higher returns.(read

The Necessity Of Health Insurance – What You Can Expect
Submitted as: Artham Vidya
A couple of years back my mother underwent a cataract operation. Cataract surgeries are very common and can be done anywhere, but we wanted to provide her with the best possible experience (my mother is terrified of hospitals).
She was admitted to a multi-speciality, which provided good care while we ensured that the lenses being used were of high quality. The entire package, including the one-day stay in hospital and other medications came to just about Rs 80,000.(read
