Why Indian Navy Financial Planning via Praarabdh

Deployment-aware liquidity

When you're at sea, your spouse needs operating money. We help structure a joint operating account + SIP autopay + standing instructions so nothing breaks during a 4-6 month deployment.

NPF + DSOP layered correctly

Don't pick one, they serve different purposes. NPF is the long-horizon corpus; DSOP is the medium-term tax-free buffer. The mix changes with rank.

Post-PMR transition

Pre-Mature Retirement after 20 years is increasingly common. We model the resettlement bonus + pension + reskilling allowance into a complete civilian income plan.

Indian Navy Financial Planning, frequently asked

Is sea-going allowance fully tax-exempt?

It's exempt under Section 10(14) up to the limits notified by the IT department. Most sailors leave the calculation to their unit accountant, who tends to be conservative. With a finance-aware CA you can typically reclaim ₹15-30k/yr.

How do I plan SIPs around irregular deployments?

Set the monthly autopay from a joint or family-operated account, not your sole account. Configure SIP pause-on-failure to skip a missed month instead of stopping. We help set this up across AMCs in one onboarding session.

Should I take a home loan from the Navy housing scheme or open market?

Navy schemes (where available) usually win on rate. But construction-linked disbursal can be slow. Many officers take a parallel pre-EMI from the open market and refinance once the Navy loan disburses.

What's the difference between NPF and DSOP?

NPF (Navy Provident Fund) is the navy equivalent of EPF, contribution from salary, matched by govt, ~8% return, withdrawn on retirement. DSOP (Defence Services Officers Provident) is a separate voluntary scheme on top of NPF, also tax-free, with limited mid-service withdrawal.
