Category: Financial Planning · Published 2026-03-07 · by Priyanka

The single biggest mistake new investors make is jumping into stocks or crypto before doing the basics. Here is a 6-step beginner plan every Indian should follow.

  1. Emergency fund: 3–6 months of expenses in a high-interest savings or liquid fund.
  2. Term life insurance: if you have dependents — 15× annual income.
  3. Health insurance: minimum ₹5–10 lakh floater (plus employer cover).
  4. Start a monthly SIP: index fund + flexi-cap for long term.
  5. Tax-saving ELSS / PPF: for 80C if old regime.
  6. Retirement planning with NPS: add employer NPS + ₹50K self for double benefit.

Use the goal planner to set concrete milestones.
