Is ₹10 crore enough for retirement in India?
At 6% inflation, ₹10 crore in 25 years has the purchasing power of about ₹2.3 crore today. If your monthly expenses are ₹75,000-1,00,000 today, ₹10 crore should provide a comfortable 25-30 year retirement with SWP.
What return rate should I assume for SIP?
For long-term equity SIP (15+ years), 12% CAGR is a reasonable assumption based on Nifty 50 historical returns. For conservative planning, use 10%. For aggressive multi-cap portfolios, 14-15% is historically possible but not guaranteed.
