| Monthly SIP, if returns are | 8% | 10% | 12% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Same amount every month | ₹1,68,649 | ₹1,30,600 | ₹1,00,085 |

Reading this honestly
A 12% yearly return is a common long-run assumption for a diversified equity fund, but it is not guaranteed, and real returns arrive unevenly. The 8% column is closer to what a balanced or debt-heavy portfolio might earn. If you can afford the 10% column, you have built in a margin of safety.
Inflation matters as much as returns. At 6% a year, ₹10 crore at age 60 has the buying power of about ₹3.12 crore today. To have ₹10 crore in today's money, you would need about ₹32.07 crore by then.
