Investment in the Public Provident Fund (PPF) with discipline and systematically can lead to a sizable retirement corpus. We have created a calculator that will tell you how much your corpus would be at the end of 15 years, 20 years or 25 years. Click to download the PPF Excel calculator.

- 100% secured investment, offered by Government of India

- Withdrawal up to 50% of your balance before the 4 years of the year of withdrawal
- After the end of 15 year period (actually 16 years), the PPF account can be extended for another block of 5 years, indefinitely.
- In an event of bankruptcy, no one can touch your PPF balance, not even Government of India

Below is a quick introduction of how to enter your PPF/EPFs and the type of reports you can generate with it. We show you an existing PPF, how to enter a new PPF and reports you can create to view your PPF/EPF investments.

MProfit has made the process of managing your ULIPs (unit linked insurance plans) and insurance policies easier.  Once you have decided which products to buy then you can easily enter in the details in MProfit and start tracking your investments.

Below is a quick introduction of how to enter your ULIPs and the type of reports you can generate with it.

Customers ask why we don’t automatically update the prices of ULIP products. The reason is because when you have a ULIP the expenses get deducted by selling some of your units. So, if we automatically updated the prices but you forget to update the quantity then you would have an incorrect amount for the total value. Hence, we recommend you update the policy value based on what your ULIP providers sends to you via mail. In addition, ULIPs are very long term products (15-20 years) so to track them on a daily or weekly basis is not really required.

Many mutual fund investors face a common problem which is getting a summary of all their mutual fund investments.  Since each mutual fund house will send their own report it is up to the investor to summarize the data. Luckily, the two major mutual fund registrars – CAMS and Karvy provide a facility to allow a customer get their mutual fund information from one location.

If you use CAMS then you can request your data via an Excel file. Click here for more information.

If you use Karvy then you can login to your account and automatically import the data into MProfit. Click here for information.

Once your data is imported into MProfit you can print asset allocation reports for ALL your financial holdings such as stock, property, gold, FD, Insurance and more. You also get a daily update on all your holdings from a single screen which makes it very easy to track all your assets with MProfit.

The Family Office is a concept from the West where the management and investment decisions for a single wealthy family occur centrally. Although we don’t call them Family Office’s in India, most families are run like Family Office’s since the investment decisions affect the entire extended family. When we designed MProfit we took a look at the India Family Office concept and made it a central part of the software via our Groups feature. Our grouping feature allows you to aggregate all your individual personal portfolios into a single group view. This single group view is similar to how most Indian families view their portfolios as a single portfolio and not just individual portfolios.

The Grouping feature is very powerful when you create reports within MProfit. One example is the Group Asset Allocation report for Stocks, with this report you can easily see where you major stock holdings are for your entire family. Without the Grouping feature you would have to manually figure out each individual’s stock allocation and the add them together in Excel…not very efficient or easy. With MProfit, it takes just one click to generate the report.

Overall, MProfit is actually a Family Office software solution for Indian households and our easy to use interface is the perfect way to manage all your assets. Other family (group) features:

• Consolidated view of entire family (group) networth
• Create and manage multiple family (group) portfolios in various combinations of your individual portfolios
• Group Annualised Return (XIRR) for any asset, asset category or family portfolio
• Group Holding report which gives you detailed holdings for group members
• Asset Allocation report for the entire family (group)
• Due Date report for the entire family (group) for insurance premium payment, maturity and lock-in

We have updated our Reporting Overview video to reflect the new reports and the changes to some existing reports. MProfit has 5 main categories for reports: Analytical, Transaction, Capital Gains, Accounts and Miscellaneous.
