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NPF (Navy Provident Fund) is the navy equivalent of EPF — contribution from salary, matched by govt, ~8% return, withdrawn on retirement.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.
