  1. Such a great share on Filing Income Tax Returns. It will be useful for many people that have no knowledge regarding all this. I am also one of those who haven’t dealt with the investments, taxes and money management. Would like to learn about the investment options as I have just started earning. Can you share some details about investment options for beginners and Risk Profiling and how much risk to take?
