Investing decisions for Indian households now span domestic gold and property, cross-border US equities, and short-term instruments competing with rising bank scrutiny after episodes like the YES Bank crisis. This cluster covers the practical, decision-relevant version of each topic — LRS limits, tax treatment, and real historical precedent — rather than generic investing advice.
This is the index to everything we publish on it. Tax and regulatory limits referenced across these timelines (LRS caps, RBI rules) change; always confirm the current figure against an RBI or tax-authority source before acting on it.

How to read this cluster
Start with whichever decision is actually in front of you: the short-term-investments guide and the buy-or-rent framework are both point-in-time decision tools, while the US-stocks guide is the reference for anyone moving money cross-border under LRS. The gold and YES Bank timelines are the context pieces — one explains why gold remains a default Indian household asset, the other is the cautionary case for why bank selection and deposit insurance limits matter.
What we are watching
Any RBI change to the LRS limit, further stock-market structural changes following the new closing auction session, and gold price movement around the festive/wedding demand season.
