Questions people ask
What will ₹50 lakh be worth in 20 years?
About ₹4.82 Cr at 12% a year, or ₹3.36 Cr at 10%. In an FD at 7% it would be about ₹1.93 Cr.
How long does it take to double?
About 6.1 years at 12% a year. A quick rule: divide 72 by the return — 72 ÷ 12 = 6 years, or 72 ÷ 7 ≈ 10 years in an FD.
What is it worth in today’s money?
With 6% inflation, the ₹1.55 Cr you’d have after 10 years buys what ₹86.71 L buys today. Growth above inflation is your real gain.
Should I invest it all at once?
Over long periods, investing at once has usually done better because the money is in the market sooner. If a fall soon after would worry you, spread it over 6–12 months with a systematic transfer plan (STP) from a liquid fund.
How are the gains taxed?
In an equity fund held over a year, gains above ₹1.25 lakh a year are taxed at 12.5%. Selling within a year costs 20%. Use the capital gains calculator to see the tax on your sale.
