Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start retirement planning?

The ideal time to start retirement planning is in your 20s or early 30s. Starting early allows you to benefit from compounding and requires smaller monthly contributions. However, it's never too late to start - begin as soon as possible regardless of your age.

How much retirement corpus do I need?

A common rule of thumb is to aim for 25-30 times your annual expenses at retirement. For example, if you need ₹6 lakhs per year (₹50,000 per month), you should target ₹1.5-1.8 crores corpus. However, this varies based on lifestyle, inflation, and life expectancy.

What is the 4% retirement rule?

The 4% rule suggests that you can withdraw 4% of your retirement corpus annually without running out of money for 30 years. For example, with a ₹2 crore corpus, you can withdraw ₹8 lakhs per year. This rule considers inflation and investment returns.

How does inflation affect retirement planning?

Inflation reduces purchasing power over time. If inflation is 6%, ₹50,000 today will be equivalent to ₹1.07 lakhs in 15 years. Your retirement corpus must account for inflation to maintain your standard of living throughout retirement.

What are the best investment options for retirement?

Diversify across EPF/PPF for safety, equity mutual funds for growth, NPS for tax efficiency, and debt funds for stability. The allocation should become more conservative as you approach retirement age to protect your corpus.
