Not a cash lifafa. A Lyfafa.

Not ours, not yours, nor any drawer's.
Theirs from day one.

Which one are you?

Parents open it, and everyone who loves them fills it.

Papa & Mumma

Everything begins with you. You open your child's Lyfafa, the money sits in their name from day one, and the whole family gets a place to put their shagun.

Dada-Dadi & Nana-Nani

The shagun you'd press into their palm, invested in their name instead, with your blessing sealed till they turn 18. Gift on birthdays, or set a monthly SIP of your own.

This Rakhi, give the lifafa that doesn't get spent by Monday. A one-time gift by UPI, your note sealed inside, done. No account of your own to manage.

one-time gifts · even from Dubai

SEBI permits monthly SIPs into a child's folio only from parents and grandparents. Everyone else gifts one-time, by UPI or netbanking, after a one-time KYC. NRI details.

Every gift remembered. Every giver named.

Names and amounts are illustrative.

The questions everyone asks first.

What if we need the money before 18?

The guardian can redeem before 18 — the money goes to the child's bank account, nobody else's. The messages stay sealed till 18 either way.

Why UPI or netbanking only?

SEBI rules — and that's by design. Mutual fund gifts move straight from a bank account that can be traced to the giver. The full reason is in the FAQ.

Does my child need a demat account?

No. Mutual fund units sit in a folio in your child's name — no demat needed. You need the child's birth proof or Aadhaar and a minor bank account, plus your own one-time KYC. Full list in the FAQ.

Which funds? Who picks?

Curated, plain fund categories — for example index funds. We never push a particular scheme. How selection works is on the FAQ page.

All ten honest answers →

What will your gift be worth when they turn 18?*

Your envelope is reserved.

A lifafa carries feelings, not just money — and you're trusting us with both. That means everything to us. We'll write to you the moment Lyfafa opens.

शुभ आरंभ।
