Hello Munish, Index funds can generate 10% annualised returns on average. In 8 years, your 10K sip can turn to be Rs 14.8 Lakhs and in 10 years, it can be Rs 20.6 Lakhs. You are on the right path. However, I would suggest, keep increasing some money every year (since your income also increases). This is the best way to keep accumulate money for 8-10 years.
Suresh, I greatly appreciate your hardwork, research and passion to keep the masses informed about Investment Products. I have been going through your blog for more than 2-3 years now.
It has been very helpful.
Thanks to you and your team!
Thank you Jaysun
