வரி சேமிப்பு 2019-2020

வரி செலுத்துபவர்கள் வரியை குறைக்க மிகவும் முயற்சி செய்வார்கள். அவகர்களது  நிலைமை எந்த மருந்தைத் தின்றால் பித்தம் தெளியும் என்பது போல் இருக்கும்.  அவர்களுக்கு நான் மிகுந்த பக்கவிளைவுகள் இல்லாத பித்தம் தெளியும்  மருந்து பற்றி கூறுகின்றேன். அந்த எளிய மருந்து இ.எல்.எஸ்.எஸ் (ELSS) எனப்படும் ஈக்விட்டு லிங்கெட் சேவிங்கிஸ்  ஸ்கீம் (Equity Linked Savings Scheme). இந்த மருந்தை எந்த வரி செலுத்தும் வயதினரும் பயன்படுத்தலாம். 

முதலாவதாக, வருமானவரி சட்டத்தில் 1.5 லட்சம் வரை முதலீடு செய்து வரிச் சலுகை பெறலாம். பெரும்பாலோனர் நாடுவது  தபால் அலுவலக சேமிப்பு திட்டம், காப்பீடு அல்லது வரி சலுகை உள்ள வங்கி வைப்பு. இவை அணைத்திலும்  முதலீடு செய்ய குறைந்த காலம் 5 வருடங்கள். மேற்கூறிய திட்டத்தில் முதலீடு செய்ய குறைந்தபட்ச காலம் 3 ஆண்டுகள் மட்டுமே.

இரண்டாவதாக, வருமான லாப விகிதங்கள் அட்டவணையை பார்க்கவும். வரிச்சலுகையை உள்ள முதலீடுகளில்  அதிக லாபம் தரக்கூடிய வகையில் உள்ளது நான் கூறிய இ.எல்.எஸ்.எஸ் (ELSS) என்பது தெளிவாக தெரிகின்றது. இந்த வருமானம் சந்தையின் லாபத்திற்கு ஏற்றவாறு அமையும் என்பது முக்கிய அம்சம். மூன்று வருடங்கள் அவசியம் முதலீடு செய்திருக்க வேண்டிய காரணத்தால் நாம் மூன்று வருட லாப வகிதங்களை அட்டவணையில் தந்துள்ளோம். அது மற்ற வருமானத்தை விட அதிகமாக இருப்பது கண்கூடு.

மூன்றாவதாக, இ.எல்.எஸ்.எஸ் திட்டங்களில் முதலீடு செய்து பராமரிப்பது மற்றும்  உபயோகிப்பது மிக மிக எளிது. தற்போது கணணி மயமான உலகத்தில் இந்தத் திட்டங்களை வாங்குவதும் விற்பதும் கணினி மூலமே. இது சிறந்த எளிமையான அம்சமாகும்.

(B) When the investment is regular.


In both cases, table is created in excel using the actual date and amount invested. In the case of SIP it is regular. Once done, using the XIRR function, we can feed the inputs as given in the following image and arrive at the return. XIRR will always give annualised return. Cash flow out will be marked as negative and final cash flow in or market value is shown as a positive figure.

Click here to read the PREVIOUS article about using EFFECT functionIn the case of bank deposits, Bank gives an annual interest of 7%. Here is the variation. One bank gives interest once a year. Another bank gives interest every six months but at the same 7% annual interest rate. If another bank gives interest once every three months, then we have to choose the bank which gives interest for a short period of time. This will give higher yield, which is slightly better than 7% per annum. Let us find how yield differs from bank to bank in the above example using excel effect function.

Excel in Personal Finance - Part 3 - Function 'Effect'

Let us learn 5 Excel functions that are useful for personal finance


Click here to read: Excel Part 2 - Function FV

Function 3 - Effect

Effective Interest Rate (Effective rate)

Example: In the case of bank deposits, Bank gives an annual interest of 7%. Here is the variation. One bank gives interest once a year. Another bank gives interest every six months but at the same 7% annual interest rate. If another bank gives interest once every three months, then we have to choose the bank which gives interest for a short period of time. This will give higher yield, which is slightly better than 7% per annum. Let us find how yield differs from bank to bank in the above example using excel effect function.

The function Effect is used to compute the yield.

Used factors / variable:


Information to input: (You can understand how to enter the Excel by seeing the picture below)




The yield for 7 per cent interest per annum is 7.19% when we receive interest once in three months.

Refer the table below to understand effect of getting monthly interest. It pushes the yield up by 7.23% per annum, even when the interest rate is only 7% per annum. 


Interest Frequency
Yield
Once in quarter
7.19
Once in half year
7.12
Once in month
7.23

In another example in Nov 19, popular NBFC is giving 7.72% interest – Interest distribution is every month, using the effect of 12 npery and rate of 7.72%, using effect function in excel we get 8% per annum interest.
