So, total support needed for the two school-going children for the entire year excluding uniform: 24,000 + 23,500 = Rs. 47,500.

Monthly deposit (for 11 months) (47,500/11) =Rs. 4,318.18.

However, since we are already at the end of Bhadra (Aug.-Sept.), the fifth month of 2073, the first deposit will be Rs. 59,409.09, which includes the following:

  • the deposits for the past five months and the upcoming month of Aswhin (Sept.-Oct.) (Rs. 25,909)
  • uniform (Rs. 9,000)
