Any thoughts here on leasing a car versus buying? Live in a city that requires a car but not a ton of driving can definitely keep my mileage under 12000 a year. The car I’m interested in is a brand new model so used is not an option.

Best financial route is to buy a 3 year old, certified used car and keep it +10 years. With 3 years, the car has had its steepest depreciation drop off and leasing is essentially rent money lost.

Consider that leasing is profitable for dealers because what you'll pay to lease is greater than depreciation over the same term. That math works in their favor. When you buy, it works in yours.

If you plan to change out cars often lease.
If you plan to keep it for 5+ years you buy.

I am in your position, I’ve just been holding off because I’m really not driving much since wfh started. I suggest using https://leasehackr.com they have a forum and calculators for you to maximize value. Some users are also lease wholesalers that will get you a much better deal than you could on your own for a fee.

Assuming a city car is likely to get dinged up regularly, maybe a lease makes sense?

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
