Experts Advise Personalized Retirement Planning Over Fixed Corpus Targets in India
Retirement planning in India requires personalized calculations rather than fixed corpus targets like Rs 1 crore or Rs 5 crore. Experts emphasize that factors such as monthly expenses, inflation, retirement age, healthcare costs, debt, and dependents significantly influence the required savings. For example, Rs 1 crore may support modest monthly withdrawals but may not maintain purchasing power over time due to inflation. Additionally, outstanding loans and future large expenses like education must be included in retirement goals to determine an individual's true financial freedom number.
