Putting the number in context
- Inflation: at 6% a year, ₹37,95,270 in 25 years has the buying power of about ₹8,84,293 today.
- Time matters most: staying invested 5 more years (30 in all) at 12% takes the estimate to ₹70,59,828, on ₹7,20,000 invested.
- Costs and tax: the figures are before exit loads and capital gains tax. Direct plans have lower expense ratios than regular plans, which adds up over 25 years.
