On this episode of Paisa Vaisa, CA Isha Jaiswal sits down with Anupam Gupta for a deep dive into the changing rules of money, parenting, and privacy in the digital age. As a new mother and a seasoned CA, Isha shares her controversial take on "Financial Parenting"—explaining why she plans to hire her own toddler for odd jobs rather than handing out a traditional allowance. We discuss the death of the old-school tax regime and the rise of a system that rewards cash flow over traditional saving. From the technicalities of the Annual Information Statement (AIS) to the legal ways you can pay rent to your parents to maximize your HRA, we cover the hacks that your CA likely hasn't told you yet. This is a masterclass for anyone who wants to stop being a passive earner and start being a strategic wealth builder, ensuring that their family is protected from both inflation and corporate overreach. Key Takeaways The 5/50 Success Rule: Sacrificing 5 years of intense grind in your 20s secures 50 years of a "Queen-Sized" life; choose your "hard" early. The Variable Pay Trap: HRs often inflate CTCs with variable pay that is hard to earn; always negotiate to convert variable into fixed salary. Joint Taxation Proposal: The new shift toward "One Family, One ITR" could allow husbands to use their homemaker wives' exemptions to save massive tax. The Privacy Shield: Your boss cannot track your private income through your PAN or AIS portal unless you give them access; your data is safer than you think. Employ Your Kids: To teach kids the value of money, hire them for "odd jobs" and pay them, instilling a "work-for-money" mindset instead of "allowance" entitlement.From decoding your personal finances to demystifying business models, Paisa Vaisa delivers candid, insightful, and jargon-free conversations.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, JioSaavn, Gaana & more Watch full episodes right here on YouTubeExplore more at ivmpodcasts.comConnect with Anupam Gupta: Twitter: @b50Instagram: @b_50 LinkedIn: Anupam Gupta Follow IVM PodcastsWe’re @ivmpodcasts on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you tired of watching your Fixed Deposit returns get eaten away by high taxes and inflation? In this deep-dive episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta sits down with Sailesh Jain, Fund Manager at Tata Asset Management, to unlock the mechanics of Arbitrage Funds. Many investors overlook this category, yet it remains one of the most efficient ways to park your spare cash while enjoying the tax benefits of equity. Sailesh Jain explains the concept of "riskless profit" through a simple mango market analogy, showing how buying in the cash market and simultaneously selling in the futures market locks in a predictable spread. Unlike traditional equity funds, arbitrage funds thrive on market volatility. When the market swings, the price mismatches between cash and futures expand, allowing seasoned fund managers like Sailesh Jain to "harvest" higher returns for their investors. We explore why these funds have become a staple for HNIs and retail investors alike, especially with the 2026 tax regulations offering a significant edge through 12.5% Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG). Sailesh Jain provides a rare look into the "special situations" that drive Tata’s consistent outperformance, including dividend arbitrage and corporate actions. Whether you are managing corporate treasury or just looking for a better alternative to your savings account, this episode provides a clear roadmap. We also look ahead to the 2026 Budget and the broader Indian economic outlook, with Sailesh Jain projecting why India remains a superior market for both debt and equity investors despite global geopolitical tensions. By the end of this conversation, you will understand how to build a "linear" and steady portfolio that lets you sleep peacefully even during market turbulence. Key Take away Understanding Arbitrage Mechanics: Sailesh Jain explains how to generate profit by exploiting price gaps between cash and future markets. Volatility as a Tool: Discover why market swings during major events actually increase the earning potential of arbitrage strategies. Taxation Advantage in 2026: A breakdown of how the 12.5% LTCG rate makes arbitrage funds more profitable than FDs on a post-tax basis. Risk Management and Safety: Insights into how Tata AMC protects capital during extreme market crises like COVID and GFC. Economic Outlook for 2026: Sailesh Jain shares his projections for 15% earnings growth and India's position in the global economy.From decoding your personal finances to demystifying business models, Paisa Vaisa delivers candid, insightful, and jargon-free conversations.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, JioSaavn, Gaana & more Watch full episodes right here on YouTubeExplore more at ivmpodcasts.comConnect with Anupam Gupta: Twitter: @b50Instagram: @b_50 LinkedIn: Anupam Gupta Follow IVM PodcastsWe’re @ivmpodcasts on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This comprehensive episode of the Paisa Vaisa podcast features host Anupam Gupta in an deep-dive conversation with Amit Agarwal, the CEO and co-founder of NoBroker, to decode the complex Indian real estate market for 2026 . We begin by exploring the disruptive journey of NoBroker which started in Bombay back in 2013 to solve the massive problem of fly-by-night brokers and high commission fees that have plagued the property market for decades . Amit explains the critical math behind the rent versus buy dilemma that every Indian professional faces today, highlighting why renting often makes more financial sense because typical residential rental yields are only between two to four percent while home loan interest rates hover around eight percent . The discussion provides a detailed analysis of the Model Tenancy Act which balances the rights of both owners and tenants by capping security deposits at two months and establishing a hierarchy of rent courts for sixty-day dispute resolution . We also address the infamous bachelor tax and societal discrimination where single tenants are often charged a premium despite being high-value renters with more disposable income than traditional families . This video is a masterclass for anyone looking to understand the real estate ecosystem from property appreciation and wealth generation to navigating the strict rental processes of Mumbai versus the more casual documentation found in other major Indian cities Key Takeaways The 8% Rule: Buying a home is often financially inefficient in India because rental yields (2-4%) are far lower than home loan interest rates (8%) . Commercial Potential: Investors can achieve up to 12% rental yield by targeting small commercial shops instead of residential apartments . Deposit Laws: The Model Tenancy Act aims to stop the "Bangalore trend" of high deposits by capping them at a maximum of 2 months. Bachelor Advantage: Landlords should stop the "Bachelor Tax" as single tenants often pay more rent and have higher disposable income . The Amenity Trap: Post-COVID luxury boom has pushed many into paying high maintenance for amenities they rarely use . Investment Zones: For 2024, Pune offers "great deals" for investors while the NCR market is currently a zone to be "most careful about" From decoding your personal finances to demystifying business models, Paisa Vaisa delivers candid, insightful, and jargon-free conversations.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, JioSaavn, Gaana & more Watch full episodes right here on YouTubeExplore more at ivmpodcasts.comConnect with Anupam Gupta: Twitter: @b50Instagram: @b_50 LinkedIn: Anupam Gupta Follow IVM PodcastsWe’re @ivmpodcasts on Facebook, Twitter & InstagramSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
