Cashflow

Besides allocating these resources, he will have to starting an SIP of Rs 11,247 in a diversified equity fund. However, due to lack of surplus, he can start with Rs 10,000 for now and increase it to the required amount after a rise in his income. This will help him achieve the goal in the specified time.
Insurance Portfolio
