How to Generate ₹1 Lakh/Month Using SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan)
Retirement planning is no longer about saving a lump sum — it’s about creating a stable monthly income. One of the most efficient ways to do this is through a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP).
Goal: Generate a consistent ₹1,00,000 monthly income without exhausting your investment corpus.
What is SWP?
SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) allows you to withdraw a fixed amount from your mutual fund investment at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, etc.).
Instead of earning interest like a Fixed Deposit, your money remains invested and continues to grow while you withdraw income.
How Much Corpus Do You Need?
To generate ₹1 Lakh/month (₹12 Lakhs/year):
👉 Assuming ~10–12% annual return
👉 Safe withdrawal rate: 6–8%
Required Corpus: ₹1.5 – ₹2 Crore
