Your Situation
Doubles SCSS limit (Rs 30L → Rs 60L) & lifts POMIS to Rs 15L
Risk Appetite

Tax Bracket

Assumptions
Your Monthly Income (Post-Tax)
Corpus sustainability: 17 years at 6% inflation — lasts till age 82.
Longevity Risk
At this withdrawal rate and 6% inflation, your corpus lasts 17 years (till age 82). Life expectancy 85 → gap of 3 years. Consider lowering expenses, increasing equity tilt, or topping up the corpus.

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 ₹13,300/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 10% 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.
