Putting the number in context
- Inflation: at 6% a year, ₹4,12,432 in 5 years has the buying power of about ₹3,08,193 today.
- Time matters most: staying invested 5 more years (10 in all) at 12% takes the estimate to ₹11,61,695, on ₹6,00,000 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.
