What ₹58.08 lakh is actually worth in 2036
Nominal numbers flatter long horizons. At 6% average inflation, the ₹58.08 lakh you receive after 10 years has the purchasing power of about ₹32.43 lakh in today's money. That is still comfortably ahead of the ₹30.00 lakh you put in, but it is the figure you should plan a real-world goal around.
This is the single biggest reason a ₹25,000 SIP that looks adequate on paper can fall short of an actual goal 10 years out. Always check the inflation-adjusted column before deciding the amount is enough.
Why a step-up beats a flat ₹25,000
Keeping the SIP frozen at ₹25,000 for 10 years assumes your income never rises. Increasing it by just 10% a year — roughly a normal appraisal — takes the same plan to about ₹84.36 lakh, which is 45.2% more without ever feeling like a bigger sacrifice.
Most fund houses let you set this up once as a "step-up SIP" or "top-up SIP" mandate so it happens automatically every April.
Equity SIP versus the same money in a deposit
Putting ₹25,000 a month into a 7% recurring deposit for the same 10 years would end at roughly ₹43.52 lakh — before tax. Deposit interest is taxed at your slab rate, so a 30%-bracket saver keeps closer to ₹38.77 lakh.
Equity returns are not guaranteed and a 10-year window can contain long flat stretches. The trade-off is the point: you accept volatility in exchange for an expected ₹14.56 lakh of extra corpus.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much will I get if I invest ₹25,000 per month for 10 years?
At a 12% annual return you would accumulate about ₹58.08 lakh — ₹30.00 lakh of contributions plus ₹28.08 lakh of growth. At a more conservative 10% it is ₹51.64 lakh, and at 15% it is ₹69.66 lakh.
Is ₹25,000 a month enough for 10 years?
It depends on the goal, not the amount. ₹58.08 lakh nominal is roughly ₹32.43 lakh in today's purchasing power after 10 years of 6% inflation. Compare that against what your goal actually costs today and increase the SIP if there is a gap.
What return rate should I assume for a 10-year SIP?
For diversified equity funds, 12% is the conventional planning assumption and 10% is the conservative one. Indian equity indices have delivered roughly 11-13% over long rolling periods, but no rate is guaranteed. Plan with 10-12% and treat anything above as a bonus.
Will I pay tax on this ₹25,000 SIP?
Equity mutual fund gains held over a year are long-term capital gains, taxed at 12.5% above the ₹1.25 lakh annual exemption. Because SIP units are bought monthly, each instalment has its own holding period, so redeem oldest-first to stay long-term.
Can I stop or pause a SIP midway?
Yes. SIPs have no lock-in except in ELSS funds, which lock each instalment for three years. You can pause, reduce or stop at any time without penalty, and existing units keep compounding.
