|---|---|---|---|
| Same amount every month | ₹2,08,906 | ₹1,49,489 | ₹1,05,394 |

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, ₹20 crore at age 60 has the buying power of about ₹4.66 crore today. To have ₹20 crore in today's money, you would need about ₹85.84 crore by then.
