Steps to Becoming a Millionaire: How to Create a 3 Crore Rupee Fund, What is the 10-12-30 Formula for Becoming Rich? The 10x12x30 formula is a structured approach to wealth creation through systematic investment, particularly through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in mutual funds. This method emphasizes consistent monthly contributions, a target annual return, and a long-term time horizon to build a substantial corpus. By adhering to this formula, individuals can leverage compounding to transform modest savings into significant wealth over decades. The formula is divided into three core components: monthly SIP contributions, expected returns, and the investment duration. Investors are advised to allocate approximately 10,000 rupees each month through SIPs. This regular, disciplined approach ensures that a portion of income is consistently invested, reducing the impact of market volatility. The formula assumes an average annual return of 12%, which is achievable through diversified equity mutual funds over the long term. The time frame is set at 30 years, allowing the invested amount to grow exponentially through compounding. Over 30 years, the total investment under this formula would amount to 36 lakh rupees (10,000 rupees per month multiplied by 360 months). However, the power of compounding significantly amplifies this sum. With an average annual return of 12%, the corpus could grow to approximately 2.72 crore rupees. If market volatility is lower than anticipated, the final amount could reach around 3.08 crore rupees. This demonstrates how consistent, long-term investing can turn small contributions into substantial wealth. The compounding effect is central to the success of the 10x12x30 formula.#mutual_funds #10x12x30_formula #systematic_investment_plans #compounding #wealth_creation
₹89,000 करोड़ किसके हैं? शेयर बाजार में लावारिस पड़ी है बड़ी रकम, कोई दावेदार नहीं नई दिल्ली: बैंक से लेकर शेयर बाजार तक में कई भारतीयों की बड़ी रकम लावारिस पड़ी हुई है। इन रकमों पर कई वर्षों से कोई दावा नहीं किया गया है। 1 फाइनेंस मैगज़िन की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, दिसंबर 2025 तक लगभग 89,000 करोड़ रुपये की रकम 1671 लिस्टेड कंपनियों के शेयरों में फंसी हुई है। यह रकम ईपीएफए (Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority) के पास है। रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, बैंक डिपॉजिट, शेयर, इंश्योरेंस और ईपीएफ जैसे सेक्टर में कुल 2.2 लाख करोड़ रुपये से ज्यादा की संपत्ति ऐसी है, जिसका कोई दावेदार सामने नहीं आया है। यह पैसा न केवल बेकार पड़ा है, बल्कि महंगाई के कारण धीरे-धीरे अपनी वैल्यू भी खो रहा है। रिलायंस समेत कई कंपनियों के शेयर शामिल रिपोर्ट में बताया गया है कि करीब 166 करोड़ शेयर ऐसे हैं जिन पर किसी ने दावा नहीं किया है। इनमें बड़ी कंपनियों का भी बड़ा हिस्सा शामिल है, जैसे रिलायंस इंडस्ट्रीज लिमिटेड। कुल जितनी कंपनियों के शेयर 'लावारिस' हैं, उनमें अकेले रिलायंस की हिस्सेदारी 15% से ज्यादा है। समय के साथ इनकी वैल्यू कई गुना बढ़ चुकी है, लेकिन सही जानकारी या नॉमिनी न होने के कारण ये मालिकों तक नहीं पहुंच पाए। कहां फंसा है कितना पैसा? बैंक डिपॉजिट में सबसे ज्यादा 97,545 करोड़ रुपये अनक्लेम्ड पड़ा है। यह पैसा रिजर्व बैंक (RBI) के DEA फंड में जाता है, जहां इस पर सिर्फ 3% साधारण ब्याज मिलता है। बीमा में 20,062 करोड़ रुपये अनक्लेम्ड हैं। यह रकम मैच्योरिटी, डेथ क्लेम या सरेंडर वैल्यू के रूप में है। ईपीएफ में 10,915 करोड़ रुपये 'लावारिस' पड़े हुए हैं। 38% ईपीएफ अकाउंट 5-10 साल से निष्क्रिय हैं, वहीं 21% अकाउंट 20 साल से ज्यादा समय से क्लेम नहीं हुए। म्यूचुअल फंड में 3,452 करोड़ रुपये अनक्लेम्ड हैं। इस रकम पर अभी तक किसी ने दावा नहीं किया है। क्यों नहीं कर पा रहा कोई दावा? एक्सपर्ट्स के अनुसार इसके तीन मुख्य कारण हैं: निवेश करते समय नॉमिनी का नाम न जोड़ना या अपडेट न करना। निवेश की परिवार...#reserve_bank_of_india #mutual_funds #epf #relays_industries_limited #investor_education_and_protection_fund_authority
Unclaimed Assets Worth ₹2.2 Lakh Crore Remain Unclaimed in India A recent study by 1 Finance Research reveals that a staggering ₹2.2 lakh crore in unclaimed assets is sitting idle in Indian financial systems, with no rightful owner to claim it. These funds are locked in bank deposits, shares, insurance policies, and Employee Provident Fund (EPF) accounts, highlighting a significant gap in financial management among Indian citizens. The report, released in April 2026, underscores how millions of rupees remain unaccounted for due to outdated information, forgotten nominees, and lack of awareness about claiming procedures. The study highlights that as of December 2025, approximately ₹89,000 crore in unclaimed funds were tied up in 1671 listed companies’ shares. Additionally, ₹97,545 crore in bank deposits, ₹20,062 crore in insurance claims, and ₹10,915 crore in EPF accounts remain unclaimed. These assets are now vulnerable to inflation, with their value eroding over time. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) channels unclaimed bank deposits into the DEA Fund, where they earn only 3% simple interest, further diminishing their worth. The unclaimed assets span multiple sectors, including banking, insurance, and mutual funds. For instance, mutual funds hold ₹34.52 billion in unclaimed investments, with 38% of EPF accounts being inactive for years. The report emphasizes that these funds could be reclaimed by individuals who have not updated their nominee details, failed to inform family members about their investments, or neglected to follow up on maturity or death claims. The root causes of this issue are multifaceted. Many investors overlook critical steps, such as designating a nominee or updating their contact information, leading to their assets becoming unclaimed.#reserve_bank_of_india #mutual_funds #1_finance_research #employee_provident_fund #unclaimed_assets
Sebi Eyes Gift Cards and Prepaid Instruments to Boost Mutual Fund Investments The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is considering a proposal to allow investors to use gift cards and prepaid instruments to make contributions to mutual funds, aiming to simplify the investment process and encourage wider participation. The regulatory body has suggested imposing a cap of Rs 50,000 per investor per financial year for investments made through such instruments. This measure is intended to prevent excessive use of these tools while promoting their adoption as a convenient investment option. Under the proposed framework, registered trading agents (RTAs) acting on behalf of asset management companies (AMCs) will monitor individual investments made through gift cards, prepaid payment instruments (PPIs), e-wallets, and cash. If a transaction resulting from the redemption of a gift card or PPI exceeds the Rs 50,000 limit, the RTA will reject the transaction. The face value of the redeemed PPI will then be refunded to the issuer's escrow account, ensuring compliance with the cap. Gift cards and prepaid solutions have traditionally been used for retail purchases, but their adoption has grown significantly in recent years due to the rise of digital payments. These instruments offer convenience, instant delivery, and enhanced security, making them increasingly popular among consumers. Sebi's proposal seeks to leverage this trend by integrating these tools into the mutual fund investment ecosystem, potentially expanding access to financial markets for a broader audience. The move aligns with efforts to modernize investment mechanisms and reduce barriers to entry for retail investors.#gift_cards #sebi #digital_payments #mutual_funds #prepaid_instruments
