Win a free comprehensive financial plan from Hemant Beniwal
Hemant Beniwal is a certified financial planner, and is currently the director of Ark Primary Advisors Pvt. Limited.
He has graciously agreed to sponsor a free comprehensive financial plan (which normally costs Rs. 12,000 – Rs. 15,000), for one lucky OneMint reader, and here’s your chance to get some professional advice on your finances.
The comprehensive financial plan covers the following aspects:
- Strengths and Weaknesses
- Assumptions
- Financial Statements
- Emergency Fund
- Life Insurance Planning
- Health Insurance Planning
- Retirement Planning
- Goals
- Accumulation
- Asset Allocation
- Investment Strategy
- Suggestions and Action Plan
- Disclaimer and Disclosures
So, you can see that Hemant covers a pretty broad array of topics, and this is a great chance to get a financial plan done, and get a good financial roadmap done for yourself.
Hemant blogs at The Financial Literates, so you can check out his work there.
Here’s how you can enter the contest:
How to enter this contest?
There are two ways of entering the contest:
1A) Like the Facebook page of OneMint, AND The Financial Literates
OR
1B) Subscribe to the daily email newsletter of OneMint AND weekly email newsletter of The Financial Literates
2) Leave a comment on this post or OneMint’s Facebook page letting me know that you have done so.
Doing one of the above means that you have one entry, and if you do both then you have two entries in the contest, so it makes sense to do both, and if you don’t see value in the newsletters or Facebook updates then you can always unsubscribe later.
I will close the contest at 5 PM IST on 27th January 2011. I will then create a list and select a lucky winner at random and declare the winners on 30th January 2011.
All the best and I will write another post detailing out my reasoning to keep the contest in this manner for those of you who are wondering why this format is different from what I did earlier.

I have ‘Like’d both OneMint and The Financial Literates on Facebook. I would like to enter the contest.
Hi Manshu,

Thanks Manshu for introducing me to your readers.
I believes that Financial Planning is the only way through which people can achieve their Financial Goals. Financial Planning gives you more clarity in life; it provides direction and meaning to your financial decision. It helps you to provide right balance between your present and future lifestyle.
I think interaction over next 10 days will help your readers to understand right meaning of Financial Planning.
I am waiting for the lucky winner. 🙂

Hi
this book will not only help in financial planning but also educate the person on financial related things. I just love One mint and hopefully Hemant’s book would be a good read to one and all.
Well, actually it’s not a book, he will create a financial plan tailored to you. So it’s a plan which is designed specifically keeping your needs in mind.
Hi manshu,
i just discovered your site today when researching on Gold Etfs in India. i was very surprised to learn from your ‘about me’ section that you are not a finance professional because there is so much relevant information here. What i loved was that all of it is written in such a simple language with not much technical jargon that i have no problems understanding it.
…. And as a bonus there is a contest going on 🙂 which i have entered by subscribing to the emails.
Thanks for all the great work
Great timing Swati! I’ll just reiterate that I’m not a professional, and the mistakes I sometimes make probably show that!
I Have done the needful. Done both. Please count me in for the contest.
Include me in the contest, subscribed to newsletters. Thanks.
Hey Manshu,
I have ‘liked’ One-Mint and The-Financial-Literates . So that’s one entry.
I am already a mail subscriber of your blog, now I have subscribed The Financial Literates also. That’s second one.
Looking forward to win this plan.
Fulfilled both the requirements for a double entry.

Manshu, I was supposed to get two entries.
Thanks,
Swaroop Rao
In your comment you state that you have Liked both sites, so that’s why I’ve put you for one entry.
I guess you subscribed to the emails as well, but didn’t state that?
Manshu,
That’s correct. I have also subscribed to both newsletters.

Re: Enter the giveaway, double your chances, and verify your entry
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for your prompt action Bunny.
Thanks to you..have a great time! Keep posting the good stuff!
Cheers!!!
Have completed both , two entries :).
Apart for the Contest, general questions, I know having many subscribers is good for the blog, however what i wanted to check is, i am subscribed to your blog via Google reader, and subscribing to email alert is like having the same things twice, Readers who subscribe to your blog via readers are not considered on total Subscriber to blog??
Yes, Google Reader subscribers are counted, but then there is no way to verify that if you are running a contest. That’s why the request for email subscription. In your case, I’d recommend unsubscribing from the OneMint email after the winner is declared.
Sounds Good, Thanks Manshu.
