How much risk can you take when investing? Know the difference between your risk tolerance and risk capacity
Siddharth Mehta, a young lawyer and senior partner in a top law firm, has taken insurance and has started investing for his goals. Seeking a comprehensive plan, he has consulted a financial adviser. However, he's confused by a lengthy questionnaire assessing both his risk-taking capacity and risk tolerance— terms that sound identical to him. What should he do? Siddharth Mehta may be confused because both risk tolerance and risk-taking capacity relate to risk. However, in financial terms, they are not the same. Risk tolerance is a subjective measure. It reflects how much risk Mehta is willing to take and his comfort with potential losses and market volatility. Risk capacity , in contrast, is an objective evaluation of how much risk he can afford to take, based on his income, expenses and financial goals . Risk-taking capacity is Mehta's actual ability to take on financial risk. Since he is decades away from retirement, his risk capacity is higher than someone nearing retirement. Similarly, a high-net-worth individual has greater risk capacity than someone with limited resources. That's about how much risk he can afford to take, not just what he's comfortable with. This is assessed through questions like, 'Would a 20% market dip seriously hit your finances?' 'Do you have sufficient reserves to withstand it?' 'Do you have enough time to recover before needing the funds?' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eu usei estas meias japonesas e aliviei minha dor nas pernas NeuroFit Undo Risk tolerance is the emotional or psychological willingness to take risk, while risk capacity is the ability to take risk without jeopardising financial goals. Mehta may have the tolerance for risk but not the capacity—or vice versa. Content on this page is courtesy Centre for Investment Education and Learning (CIEL).

Govt cuts import duty on crude edible oils to 10 pc; move to cool prices, protect local industry
India imports more than 50 per cent of its domestic edible oil requirement. Earlier, the duty on these three crude edible oils was 20 per cent. New Delhi, May 30 (PTI) The Centre on Friday reduced the basic custom duty on crude palm oil, crude soyabean oil and crude sunflower oil to 10 per cent, a move aimed at bringing down the retail prices of cooking oils and protecting domestic processors. India imported 159.6 lakh tonnes of edible oils during the 2023-24 oil marketing year (November to October), valuing Rs 1.32 lakh crore. A notification in this regard was issued by the finance ministry on Friday with immediate effect. When contacted, Union Food Secretary Sanjeev Chopra said the government has slashed the basic custom duty on crude edible oils to 10 per cent from 20 per cent. Industry body Solvent Extractors Association of India's (SEA) executive director B V Mehta said the basic custom duty on crude palm oil, crude soyabean oil and crude sunflower oil has been reduced to 10 per cent from the earlier 20 per cent. The effective import duty (including the basic custom duty and other charges) on these three products will now be 16.5 per cent as against the 27.5 per cent earlier. The basic custom duty on refined oil remains unchanged at 32.5 per cent. At present, the effective duty on refined oils is 35.75 per cent. Industry bodies SEA and the Indian Vegetable Oil Producers' Association (IVPA) welcomed the decision. They have been demanding increasing the duty difference between the crude and refined edible oils to protect the domestic processors. In a late-night statement, SEA president Sanjeev Asthana said, 'The government's decision to increase the duty differential between crude and refined oils from 8.25 per cent to 19.25 per cent is a bold and timely move. It will discourage imports of refined palmolein and shift demand back to crude palm oil, thereby revitalising the domestic refining sector.' The reduction in duty on crude oil will help reduce domestic prices, benefiting consumers, he added. Mehta pointed out that imports of refined palm oil have risen of late, because it is cheaper than the crude palm oil. India imports palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia. Soyabean oil comes from Brazil and Argentina. IVPA president Sudhakar Desai said, 'We thank the government for accepting the IVPA recommendation to increase the duty differential between crude and refined edible oils to 19.25 per cent.' It is a significantly bold move towards ensuring Make in India and also protecting the sector from the influx of refined oils, causing capacity injury to the vegetable oil sector, Desai said. 'This is a win-win situation for vegetable oil refiners and consumers, as the local price will go down due to the lower duty on crude oils,' Mehta said. On September 14, 2024, the basic custom duty on crude soyabean oil, crude palm oil and crude sunflower oil was raised from 0 per cent to 20 per cent.

Illegal gambling platforms putting minors and youth at risk: Report
A new report on Sunday raised serious concerns about the growing threat of illegal online gambling platforms in India, especially to vulnerable groups like minors and young adults. The report by public policy think tank CUTS International warns that these platforms are not only targeting impressionable users with addictive, high-risk games but are also bypassing basic safety checks, such as age verification and identity confirmation. It highlights that the scale of the problem is massive. Between April 2024 and March 2025, there were more than 5.4 billion visits to the top 15 illegal gambling platforms, spread across 40 mirror websites. Some platforms like Parimatch, 1xBet, Stake, Fairplay, and BateryBet are among the most visited. In fact, Parimatch's web traffic in March 2025 was higher than popular platforms like Google India, Amazon, Wikipedia, and Hotstar, revealing the alarming reach of these operations. CUTS International estimates that users are depositing close to $100 billion annually into these illegal betting platforms. Many of these platforms are based overseas and use loopholes in India's payment systems and advertising networks to operate freely, posing a major risk to both consumer safety and national security. Pradeep Mehta, Founder and Secretary General of CUTS International, said that illegal gambling operators are exploiting India's digital infrastructure while evading any form of accountability. "This presents a major national security threat and also exposes Indian consumers to serious harm," Mehta said at the report's release. One of the most disturbing findings of the report is how easily minors can access these gambling sites. These platforms often avoid even the most basic checks like KYC (Know Your Customer) or age verification. Some even offer cash-on-delivery payment options, allowing teenagers with no access to digital wallets or cards to gamble repeatedly without any supervision. The use of high-stakes, psychologically addictive game designs makes them even more dangerous for young, sensation-seeking users. The report also reveals how these platforms attract such massive traffic. Around 66 per cent of users visit directly, often through saved links, private messages, or bookmarks, giving a false impression of trust and legitimacy. Big media campaigns, celebrity endorsements, billboards, and SEO-boosted search visibility further increase their reach.
