Dear Mr Bala, You seem pretty well diversified! Since you are retired an should not take much risk, you can consider investing the balance of capital into MIP's or FMP's for higher returns and tax benefits. Any increase in monthly pension can be used to increase SIP amount in your equity funds. Rgds
