Ans: MF's - Roughly 3.25 cr assuming 12% returns on the investment for the next 8 years.
VPF, PF, EPF is difficult to say as the rate keeps changing

Ans: To estimate your corpus after 7 to 8 years, let's assume an average annual return on your mutual fund SIPs at 10-12% and a similar return on your other investments.

For Mutual Funds:

Future Value of Current Investments: Using the future value formula, considering an average return of 10-12%, your current 1.09 crore can grow to approximately 2.2 - 2.5 crores in 7-8 years.
Future Value of Additional SIPs: Investing 35k per month for 7-8 years, at an average return of 10-12%, you could accumulate around 50 - 60 lakhs from SIPs alone.
For Other Investments:

Future Value of Current Investments: Assuming an average annual return of 10-12%, your current 1 crore can grow to approximately 2 - 2.4 crores.
Future Value of Additional Investments: With 80k monthly investments for 7-8 years, at an average return of 10-12%, you could accumulate around 1.5 - 1.8 crores.
Total Corpus After 7-8 Years: Combining both, your total corpus could range from 5.2 - 6.2 crores.

Retirement Planning:
Considering your monthly expense is 1 lakh, with a corpus of 5.2 - 6.2 crores, you can generate approximately 40-50k per month (assuming a 7-8% withdrawal rate) post-retirement. This should be sufficient considering your current expenses, but inflation and unforeseen expenses should also be considered.

It's advisable to consult a financial advisor for a detailed plan tailored to your needs, considering inflation, tax implications, and other factors.

Ans: It is really great to see that you have started to plan for your post-retirement life and you have accumulated ample amount till now.

If you continue in the same way with a monthly SIP of Rs. 80,000, I am convinced that you will have enough corpus to support yourself throughout retirement.

Accumulated corpus in 8 years with monthly investment of 80,000 and present value 1.09 Crore will likely be 4.12 Crores. Rate of return considered for the calculation is 12% CAGR.

Assuming that you want to maintain your current monthly expense of ₹1 lakh in retirement, it is important to factor in inflation, which will erode the value of your money over time.

Since you have other avenues as well to support your expenses, this will help to create a heftier corpus.

Recommendations:
• Invest in a mix of equity and debt mutual funds to diversify your portfolio and reduce risk.
• Rebalance your portfolio regularly to maintain your appropriate asset allocation as per your requirement.
• Consult with a financial advisor to develop a comprehensive retirement plan.

Ans: You are on the right track Subho. Longevity has increased. Post-retirement risk free interest rate has come down. Inflation has gone up.

So when planning for retirement corpus, back-of-the-envelope calculations won't work. You need to project your financial life from now to retirement and retirement to life expectancy. If it is not possible for you to do that, then approach a financial planner who will be able to create a financial roadmap.
