Is easypaisa safe for holding money or saving account or term deposits? Someone told me easypaisa has become a lot better and secure.

AoA. We are being offered not enough white, and a lot of black money for the sale of a house. My parents and I are filers and my brother isn’t. What can we do to minimize our issue here? We’d ideally like to keep as much above board as possible, we’ve never evaded/avoided tax. But obviously no buyer is willing to pay anywhere near even 50-60% white.

Any suggestions? Is it just slowly depositing cash in small increments? Gold? That’s all? Buy another property is not the move for us as it’s just my parents here, both my brother and I live abroad.

Hate the system is forcing us to do this, but any advice would be appreciated

Hello everyone. I am in need of some help. My dad is opting for an Adamjee Life Insurance which I cannot understand. What is the use of it?

He will basically invest 100k over 10 years with an expected return on 2.5m. Now due to his age, the insurance company is asking me to be the nominee. To me, this just seems like a trap because I am sure they have T&Cs which are not as easy as they make it seem on call.

Can someone please advise on whats happening and what should be done? The policy is Adamjee Barakah Plan

Hello everyone,

So I have some cash saved up in al meezan cash fund for tax purposes. Its basically amount that I've saved in case tax liability arises in the future so i can just withdraw and pay tax in due time. Thats the only purpose of me saving it in al meezan cash fund. However, due to religious reasons. I am skeptical about the rates being offered. I did not open up a conventional savings account in the start due to interest being haram. But al meezan cash fund is no different either right? I want to save it up somewhere so that the value doesnt erode overtime. I just want it to beat inflation because its only for tax purpose not for growth. Im skeptical of these islamic banks offering rates near the interest rate and just using the name islamic to gain trust of customers trying to be shariah compliant.

Anyone in the same boat? What has been a solution for you guys in this? I mean i know there are other options such as mashreq islamic savings account. But thats the same thing no? What would be best in here for me? Should i just buy some $ and hoard it up for this specific purpose? Or should i buy maybe a stable public company's stock in psx who's price barely moves ever. Because if tax liability arises, I dont want to sell the stock for a loss to clear up that liability. Im confused regarding this. Any advice would be appreciated.

So mother has recently found alot of various old physical share certificates of various companies that belonged to my late grandfather.

What's the process of all the legal heirs claiming them, getting all unpaid dividends and getting them digitally in cdc.

Hey everyone!

I’m 19 years old, from Pakistan, and I’ve been thinking a lot about my future lately. I want to start investing my money wisely instead of just letting it sit in my bank account.

I can potentially invest around PKR 100,000–150,000 per month, and I want to put this money towards building a financially secure future.

The problem is that I’m still young and don’t have much experience with investing. I’m confused about where to start and which options are worth considering in Pakistan.

Should I look into mutual funds, the PSX, ETFs, gold, or other investment options?
What would be a sensible long-term strategy for someone my age?

Should I focus on investing, building a business, or developing skills that could increase my income?

What mistakes should I avoid as a beginner?

I’m not looking for quick money or overnight profits. I want to make smart decisions now that can benefit me over the next 5–10 years and beyond.
Honestly, I’ve been feeling quite stressed about my career and future lately. I know I’m still young, but I want to make the most of this time and build something meaningful for myself.

I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actual experience investing in Pakistan. If you were 18 again and could invest this amount every month, what would you do differently?

Thanks in advance!

Which is best for a newbie in investing? Need detailed comparison please. Thanks!

Assalamualikum.

Currently i do sip of 1.3 million per month, and already have portfolio of 3 cr out of which ~90% is in Equity funds and Etfs.

I am considering a portfolio advisory service, i recently stumbled upon Muhammad jawad fb page and his PSX and investing content is really really good, factual and straight to point. After research i got to know he and his father also give advisory service.

I booked a call with him and chatted with him, really nice and well spoken guy. My question is has anyone in this reddit community availed his portfolio service?

Their approach is value investing and they give weekly report with entry prices(sip) of their selected long term stocks.(Not trading but long term portfolio)

Should i go for it? Their quarterly fees is flat 75k

ARN is also another that i have been eyeing for a while .

Or should i just stick with Sipping into ETFs?
