Fishes, help me out with a minor confusion.

I have been doing SIP of 26K lately, hike is making it 1L

I'm thinking of opting NPS (will take 30k monthly from the corpus/ very high base pay ) and 50K in SIP and use the rest to build my emergency fund and then slowly add a debt component. I can do a 100% equity as well.

Targeting to retire from working under someone in next 15 years.

Other savings to date

MF-11L
EPF-11L
PPF - 3.5L
NPS - 1.5L
Cash - 2.4L

15.5L loans

Please suggest.

Reduce the NPS component 10-15 K per month and invest the rest of the amount in other Mutual fund/equities directly.
Or buy a property in tier-2/3 city and start a small EMI.

NPS is very very long commitment and if you are planning to retire after 15 years, that 60% lumpsum 40% annuity will not be suitable.

Hello, to my knowledge we can withdraw the complete corpus if we opt for NPS for less than 3 yrs and the corpus is less than 5Lkhs
Now my question is - can't we withdraw the corpus and again start the NPS..
Correct me if I am wrong

You can go with the bonds issue by RBI. Check RBI direct website or you can check in coins(website)

Reduce NPS it only helps post age 60.. you can build other corpses by then and this will append that as another income source

That's an area that I do not know how to. The nps contribution is the default 10% of base pay that I've opted to put in to Tier I. I personally don't like the 60-40 split and annuity. But haven't seen another way. My pay structure just has the base pay and HRA and a petty cash allowance. So the nps number is high. So is the pf. Monthly employee + employer pf goes approx 32

You can opt for NPS from bank rather from the employer there you dont have any restriction in the amount

Like PM1 mentioned above, if I can bring down the 10% lower, I'll opt to do that and then move it to equity.

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
