  1. Mr Gupta has retired after what can be called a very fulfilling career with a leading engineering company. His only daughter is married and well settled in US. He owns a large house in Pune — worth about INR 80 lakh (INR 8 million), but he has limited savings (including PPF and EPF) of INR 10 lakh (INR 1 million) to generate any major income. He is not expecting any pension either. His worry now is to pay for his modest monthly expenses of INR 15,000. The only option he had earlier was to rent his house and move to a smaller house himself or to sell his house altogether and invest the proceeds to earn a higher monthly income. Either way, in his old age, he will be forced to look around for accommodation and keep on worrying about the rising rents — not a very happy prospect.

Is there a better way out for him?
