Rs.7500 per month
f) Medical insurance taken care of by ex-employer, Hindustan Petroleum. No payment is required.
Rough monthly income per month including from mutual fund, dividend from equity, interest from FD is 70,000.
2. Requirements
His short term lifestyle requirements are a monthly income of Rs.50000 per month and Rs.3 lakh per year that are required to buy assets and funding a trip to the USA to meet children. He is clearly not interested about long term investment planning as he is aged, and children are well off.
Risk Appetite:
The major emergency requirement of medical emergencies for himself and spouse is taken care of by his ex-employer on an actuals basis.
Even though he has a net worth of roughly Rs.12cr including all investments and most of them are liquid enough to be encashed when required he is not interested in risky investments at all( he could not quantify) because he has worked hard to reach current net worth
