I am 29F and earning 13LPA. I have been working for 4 years of which 3.5 years I had very low pay and close to 0 savings. I have been able to save 6L now.

My investments below:
* Elss funds - 2 (total 1.5L annually)
* Large cap mutual funds - 6 (total 40K sip per month) current portfolio of 4L
* FDs - 2 of 25K each
*Medical insurance - company provided

Can someone advice if this is a good investment plan for future? What can I do better? Do I need another Insurance? Where else to invest?

1. Get rid of all your loans. If you have a housing loan then get rid of it upto 50%, post which you can continue to only pay EMI.
2. In case u have dependents buy a term life insurance of life cover upto Rs 1 Cr to 2Cr (yearly premium should be around 10 to 25K)
3. Generally people move from one company to another and the premium increases as u age, so better buy a medical insurance on top of ur company provided insurance now. Buy an insurance cover of Rs 10 lakh+
4. U need to build an Emergency fund of 1 year avg expenses (I.e., 12 * your Avg monthly expense). For Ex: if u have Rs 25000 expense per month then u need to have Rs 3,00,000 in non risk liquid investment avenues. Ultra short term debt mutual fund is preferred. In this once Rs 3 lakh is achieved you can set up a STP (Systematic Transfer Plan) to nifty index mutual fund to make it inflation proof.
5. Build a Retirement Fund: 10-20% of ur take home salary (post tax) can be invested in high risk equity mutual fund. You can chose ELSS funds + Equity index funds + top performing active equity mutual funds in the past 2 decades.
6. Rest of the money can be used to build a General Investment Fund: For GIF u can allocate 50% in debt and 50% in equity mutual funds. Whenever you have financial commitments like Marriage/ Children’s Education/ Car/ Housing/ Vacation etc, u can withdraw from your debt funds and subsequently withdraw from equity funds when the markets are at the peak.
7. U can allocate upto 5% of ur total corpus in Gold/Silver/ Crypto currency/ NFT etc.

Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
