Putting the number in context
- Inflation: at 6% a year, ₹20,62,159 in 5 years has the buying power of about ₹15,40,965 today.
- Time matters most: staying invested 5 more years (10 in all) at 12% takes the estimate to ₹58,08,477, on ₹30,00,000 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 5 years.
