Hi,
One of the answers to the above question (Question no: 7 ) “The tax exemption available on interest paid on a loan is available for 8 years” :- Is it so..??
Also, it is not clear what kind of loan. Whether its an education or home loan, I think there is no such time limit. Please clarify.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, I missed the word education loan and have corrected the question now. The answer remains correct. Thanks Soubhagya for pointing it out.

Got the liquidity question between FDs & FMPs wrong. Can u explain?
I have an online fixed deposit with SBI for emergency purpose.
If I apply for redemption between 8am to 8pm I get the money immediately & if I apply between 8pm to 8 am I get the money at 8 am.
I had done this once. Applied for redemption around 11pm. Got an sms aroung 8:15am informing me that the money had been transferred to my account
The point is that FMPs are traded and so one can get out of them more easily than FDs.
I beg to differ.
Because my money is illiquid for a maximun of 12 hours.
I meant to say that I can apply for redemption at night (8pm-8am) and get the money in the morning & if I redeem during the day (8am-8pm) I get the money immediately.
Apart from the time, the probability of making the money liquid is also a factor. This is a debatable answer and that is why there was a 3rd option inthe answer which said Both of them are liquid, however I put the correct one as FMPs. Let me see whether I can do an article on this to showcase with some examples.
An article will be really helpful.
And what would be your real name ?
It’s 6.
When I went to ICICI bank to open my PPF account (you can downlond form online at http://www.icicibank.com), they rejected saying I cannot mention more than one name as nominee in PPF account :(.
6 is not bad at all.
