From your query we could find that you have two goals – 1) Child education after 7 years from now, the current cost of which is Rs 20 Lakhs 2) Goal amount of 2 Crores for your retirement but you have not mentioned whether it is at current cost or future cost?

Please note that education inflation in India is approximately 15%, therefore, the future cost of your child’s education would be around Rs 53 Lakhs – Please refer this tool https://www.advisorkhoj.com/tools-and-calculators...

To meet the above goal of Rs 53 Lakhs after 7 years, you should have minimum Rs 40,000 worth of monthly SIPs in equity mutual funds (we have assumed 12% annualized returns). From your query, it is not very clear what your current monthly SIP amount is? But since you now know the required SIP amount you may plan accordingly if there is a shortfall. You have also mentioned about some lump sum investments in mutual funds, these are around Rs 10 Lakhs. If we assume that you will remain invested in these funds for next 7 years and the returns are at 12% per annum then, you can have a corpus of around Rs 22 Lakhs https://www.advisorkhoj.com/tools-and-calculators...

If this amount is also used for your child’s education goal then you should plan for creating a corpus of Rs 31 Lakhs only (Rs 53 Lakhs – Rs 22 Lakhs) through monthly SIPs – Rs 24,000 worth of monthly SIPs will be enough to meet this goal.

Retirement goal of Rs 2 Crores after 15 years – To meet this goal you should have minimum monthly SIP of Rs 40,000 (assuming 12% return from equity mutual funds). Your current monthly SIPs are enough to meet this goal after 15 years. We have assumed that the Rs 2 Crore goal amount is required at your retirement. But if it is at current cost, then try this tool to know the future value of this goal https://www.advisorkhoj.com/tools-and-calculators...

Your overall fund selection looks good but you must review their performances annually. We also suggest that you should consolidate your investments in few good funds. Currently you have too many funds and that can become unmanageable in the long run.

We could have replied better if your query was more clearly written. Any ways, you can put your queries further by replying through the DISQUS comment section.

Wishing you mutual fund investing success!
