I am 31 years old and so far I only invest in PPF but it will not be enough for a stable retirement income. I am aiming to create a 2 crore corpus in 20 years approximately; how much will I need to invest in mutual fund SIPs and what are the recommended funds for me? I am open towards taking a little risk. 

Also how should I proceed with my current PPF account as I want to continue with it as well in a limited manner?

Omkeshwar Singh:

1. Please continue with PPF
2. Rs. 16,000 per month for 20 years will create a corpus of Rs. 2 crs
3. Funds that you may consider are as below

• HDFC Index Fund - Sensex Plan - Regular Plan - Growth
• Samco Flexi Cap Fund - Regular Plan - Growth
• UTI MNC Fund - Growth Plan
• Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund- Regular Plan Growth

VIJAY PANCHAL: My Goals are given below:

Child Marriage -- 80 Lakh

Retirement -- 2.5 CR

My age is 38 Yrs. I still can work for another 15 to 20 yrs.

Current value of the Mutual fund is 10.5 lakh for the below given funds. My invested funds are given below:

Also My EPF is around 15 K each month. I am ready to put in 10 to 15 thousand. Please suggest if these funds are good to meet my target or need to make any changes.

Omkeshwar Singh: Too many funds, however most are good funds.

Do a goal based planning and attach schemes to goals, that way there will be discipline.

One set of investment with multiple goals is not advisable.
