Creating a sufficient corpus for your child’s higher education will take years of planning and effort. You would want to invest in a risk-free option that is secure from the ups and downs of the equity market and the uncertainties associated most of the investment options. You would not want to take a chance when it comes to your child.
Most people opt for fixed deposits (FD). An FD carries a far lower risk and offers decent returns on your investment. It also allows you to pursue longer term investment options by allowing you to invest for up to 60 months and renewing it for another 60.
Omkar ji’s son Sudhan recently went to the USA for his undergraduate studies. Just the first year’s fee was Rs. 45 lakh. Omkar ji had started planning for this day ten years in advance. He started his first FD in 2012 of Rs. 2 lakh. In 2014, he added FD of Rs. 5 lakhs followed by another one in 2017. All this while, he kept renewing his previous FDs while starting the new ones. When the day came Omkar ji and his family were rejoicing rather carrying the burden of how to arrange for the funds.
Just like Omkar ji, Mr. Deo started his smart investment when his daughter turned 12. He wanted to set aside a corpus for Geetanjali’s high school. He was keen that she should go one of the leading world schools in India. Mr. Deo started small with Rs. 1 lakh and added another one of Rs. 10 lakh three years later.
Mr. Deo and Omkar ji did not have to worry about the market crash of 2012 and 2020. Their investments were safe and life goals were intact.
