Mutual fund SIP strategy: While mutual funds are often considered a means of building a sizeable corpus, they are much more than that. With proper planning, they can even provide a cushion for old age. These funds could easily generate lakhs of rupees per month. Here's how one could generate Rs 2 lakh monthly pension by 45 with Rs 11000 monthly SIP. Also, explore mutual fund schemes that have delivered average returns of over 20 per cent CAGR for the past 10 years.
If you start investing Rs 11,000 monthly in a mutual fund scheme at the age of 25, and opt for a step-up SIP, that is, increase your investment by 10 per cent every year, then if this investment yields an average return of 12 per cent per year, you could accumulate a corpus of over Rs 2 crore.
After 45 years, once these mutual fund schemes have grown into a corpus of Rs 2 crore, you can start a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP). By withdrawing Rs 2 lakh every month under the SWP, your corpus can remain around Rs 2 crore, assuming a 12 per cent annual return, while providing you with a steady monthly income of Rs 2 lakh.

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) is a mutual fund facility allowing investors to withdraw a fixed or variable amount at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, annually). It acts as a reverse of a SIP, providing a steady income stream while the remaining investment continues to grow. It is ideal for retirees or those seeking regular cash flow, often offering higher tax efficiency compared to traditional interest-bearing options.
