The retirement income problem

Saving for retirement and funding it are completely different skills.

Every withdrawal matters. Sequence-of-returns risk can make or break the same corpus.

Retiree A · Bull market entry
28 yrs

₹1.5 Cr corpus · ₹75,000/mo · 10% avg return. Retired into a bull market - money lasts 28 years.

Retiree B · Bear market entry
16 yrs

Same corpus. Same withdrawal. Same avg return. Retired into a bear market - money runs out at 16 years.

"Same corpus. Same returns. Same withdrawal. Completely different outcomes."

This is sequence-of-returns risk - the silent killer of retirement portfolios. You need a strategy that manages the order returns arrive, not just the average.

Why FDs & annuities fail

Your FD isn't protecting your money. It's quietly shrinking it.

Fixed Deposits

  • -~7% pre-tax → <5% post-tax (30% slab)
  • -Inflation 6-7%: real return turns negative
  • -Buys 40% less in 10 years
  • -Interest taxed at full slab, always

Annuities

  • -Money locked permanently
  • -6-7% payout, no inflation adjustment
  • -No liquidity for emergencies
  • -No inheritance in most plans

Goal-den Years

  • Monthly income, automated
  • Income grows with inflation
  • Full liquidity anytime
  • Corpus passed to your family
The Strategy

The 3-Bucket approach to retirement income

Your corpus divided by time horizon. Money always working, never at risk when you need it most.

1
Immediate
0-3 Years

2-3 years of living expenses in liquid & ultra-short-term debt funds. Your SWP draws from here. Market can crash - you won't feel it.

Low Risk · Liquid
2
Medium-Term
3-7 Years

Balanced Advantage, hybrid, multi-asset funds. Grows steadily and refills Bucket 1 periodically. Participates in equity upside, cushions downside.

Moderate Risk
3
Long-Term
7+ Years

Pure equity - flexi-cap, multi-cap, index. Untouched for 7+ years. Generates 10-14% CAGR. This makes your retirement last 30 years, not 15.

SWP · Systematic Withdrawal Plan

Your monthly paycheque in retirement

A SWP automatically redeems just enough units each month to deliver your income. The rest stays invested and keeps compounding.

Tax-efficient
Each withdrawal = return of capital (untaxed) + gains. Equity LTCG above ₹1.25L taxed at 12.5%. FD interest? Taxed at your full slab from day one.
Fully flexible
Increase, decrease, pause or stop anytime. Medical emergency? Withdraw more. No annuity locks you in.
Leaves inheritance
Whatever remains in your portfolio goes to your family. In most annuity plans, the money ends with you.

FAQs

Questions we hear most

How much corpus do I need for ₹50,000 per month?
At a 5% withdrawal rate, approximately ₹1.2 crore. At 4%, approximately ₹1.5 crore. Use the calculator above for a more precise number based on your situation.
What if the market crashes right after I retire?
The bucket strategy handles exactly this. Your first 2-3 years of income comes from liquid instruments unaffected by equity crashes. By the time you need to touch equity, markets typically recover.
How is SWP taxed compared to FD interest?
Each SWP withdrawal = return of capital (untaxed) + gains. Equity LTCG above ₹1.25L/year is taxed at 12.5%. FD interest is taxed at your full slab rate from day one - making SWP significantly more tax-efficient.
Can I change my monthly withdrawal amount?
Yes, anytime. Increase, decrease, pause or stop your SWP - fully flexible. Unlike annuities which lock your income permanently.
Can I start if my investments are on other platforms?
Absolutely. We work with your existing holdings regardless of platform. We consolidate the view and structure the plan around what you already own.
What about health emergencies?
Your mutual fund units can be redeemed anytime - no lock-in. We recommend keeping 6-12 months of expenses in liquid funds as a buffer outside your regular SWP.
