Our Expenses : We have no Loans/Debts, Our Average Monthly Expenses are Rs 8 Lakhs, Health Insurance Rs 1.5 Lakhs per annum, Total College Education abroad for 2 kids for next 6 years estimated to be Rs 6 CR on an average 1CR per year, Old Aged Parents Expenses Rs 2 Lakhs per month.
Ans: Hello;
Just summarizing your assets available for generating retirement income:
1. Domestic FD: 2 Cr
2. Gold(3 Kg) valued at~:2.64 Cr
3. Jewellery valued at~:2 Cr
4. Flat1: 3 Cr
5. Flat2: 1.5 Cr
6. Land: 1.5 Cr
7. Overseas House: 6 Cr
8. Overseas FD: 12 Cr
9. Self occupied property: 18 Cr
10. Stock & AIF: 1.8 Cr
Total: 50.44 Cr
(Gold price considered: 88 K per 10 gm)
However we can subtract assets at serial no. 3, 7 and 9 from this and we get a corpus of 24.44 Cr. The 44 L may be kept aside for transaction costs, taxes etc.
It is advisable that you sell the flats in India offering low rental yield and also physical gold and the land property.
Now the corpus of 24 Cr may be split into two parts:
20 Cr may be invested in MFs for SWP at 5% yielding post tax income of around 7.3 L per month.
4 Cr may be used to buy immediate annuity from a life insurance company. Assuming 6% annuity rate you may expect a post tax monthly income of 1.4 L.
So your post tax monthly income may be:
7.3+1.4+2*=10.7 L as desired.
*Rental from overseas House
Since the kid's higher education is not finding place here I suggest you work for few more years, while putting this retirement income plan in place, for funding their higher education.

ListenGood morning Milindji, is it okay if I start taking positions in magnificent 7 stocks from today using my offshore funds... I was thinking 20 % of funds in the 6 stocks (minus tesla) of Magnificent 7... I have a time horizon of 3 years... n I am looking for 10-15% annual returns.
Ans: Hello;
I am bit circumspect about stock market performance in the short to medium term(1-3 years), be it US or India, due to tariff wars, geopolitical tensions and such other events.
However you may cross check with an expert on the US market(Big-6) for return expectation over 3 years.
Best wishes;
