Frequently Asked Questions
How much corpus do I need to retire in India?
A general rule is to have 25× your annual expenses as retirement corpus (4% withdrawal rule). For ₹50,000/month expenses, you need approximately ₹1.5 crore at today's value, but accounting for inflation at retirement, the actual corpus needed could be ₹5-10 crore.
At what age should I start retirement planning?
The earlier the better. Starting at 25 vs 35 can make a 3× difference in the required monthly SIP, thanks to the power of compounding. Even small amounts started early grow substantially by retirement.
What return rate should I assume for retirement planning?
For accumulation phase (working years): assume 10-12% for equity-heavy portfolio. For distribution phase (retirement): assume 7-8% for balanced portfolio. Always use conservative estimates to avoid shortfall.
