Insights
Guaranteed cash flow: SCSS + POMIS + RBI Floating Rate Bond give you ₹41,867/month of sovereign-backed, predictable income.
Market-linked income: Mutual fund SWPs contribute ₹13,075/month. This fluctuates with markets but grows with equity — your inflation hedge over a 20-25 year retirement.
Gap warning: Your corpus depletes 3 year(s) before your expected life span. Options: tighten expenses by 8%, shift 10-15% more into hybrid/equity SWP, or review annually with a CFP.
Tax tip: At 20% slab, interest from SCSS/POMIS/FDs is fully taxable. Consider secondary-market tax-free bonds (Sec 10(15)) and MF SWP where equity LTCG caps at 12.5% beyond Rs 1.25L/year — a meaningful post-tax edge.
Note: Figures are illustrative at 2026 rates (SCSS 8.2%, RBI FRSB 8.05%, POMIS 7.4%, senior FD ~7.25%). Actual yields reset quarterly/semi-annually. Mutual fund returns are expected — not guaranteed.
