Legal Will: How it works and it's Importance

In Italy, the doctors have been unofficially told to write their ‘will’. A ‘will’ is a ‘deed’ that declares who will own the assets of the person after they die. Though the concept of will is not new to India, it is unpopular. Will is largely considered a taboo as it is interpreted as a trust deficit between parents and children, or just amongst children. In India, familial ties are considered sacred and hence, the concept of will goes against the moral structure of the society. However, with time it is important to be sensible and practical enough to declare a will. If done properly, it can also help in tax savings for the beneficiaries, which mostly happen to be the family members.

Coronavirus has hit the Indian billionaires hard.What happened to them? COVID-19 is probably one of the worst pandemics world has ever seen.

Long gone are the days where we had to wait for our favorite movie or serial to be aired on TV. Now viewers can stream the content of their choice in any device from anywhere without any wait or hassle. Thanks to apps like Netflix and Hotstar with which everything is brought under our fingertips.

US President says that Crude Oil price war may be over.But, what’s exactly going on with oil and oil producers? There’s a basic difference between a ‘need’ and a ‘want’.

The forthcoming of future group?

Can RBI save the Economy?

You might have read a story in your childhood about 2 trees which faced a thunderstorm at the same time. One of them which had a nice built, stayed upright in pride while the other one was a bit flexible and started bending with the wind. The proud tree which was upright looked at the other one and laughed. It said “you’re dancing with the wind. Look at me, I’m strong and the strong wind can’t even move me.” The intensity of the wind increased and increased further. Slowly this tree started feeling the force and losing its balance. The other tree on the other hand kept dancing with the wind and stood its ground. Finally, when the thunderstorm’s intensity reached its peak, the stronger tree got uprooted. While, the flexible tree was still alive. With the relief package declared by RBI, our economy is probably showing the required flexibility to tackle the thunderstorm of Coronavirus.

How Annuity Helps to Plan Better Retirement?

As many say, retirement is the start of a new adventure. It is that time of your life where you are relieved of all your responsibilities. But things are never going to be the same while you retire as it is today. Inflation is going to touch new peaks along with your ever-growing needs. So, without a steady flow of income, your new adventure will soon turn to be nothing more than a horror story. In no time you might be forced to return to the workforce once again. I am pretty sure that most of us don’t want to get back to work, rather than enjoying the perks of old age. So what should you do?

Will Coronavirus Lead to a Recession?

Coronavirus has hit the economy hard indeed.Are we entering into a recession post lockdown? There’s a funny Cricket video on YouTube in which a fielder on the boundary puts in an intense dive and slides to save the boundary and also manages to save it but, in his effort takes off the pants (the lower slips off due to the impact of dive and slide). On the one hand, the spectators appreciate the effort but they can not stop laughing when they see the player without pants. Now, imagine the boundary as pandemic and pants as the economy. While the government is doing everything to control the spread of the pandemic, the economy is suffering in parallel.
