This is how a corpus of ₹1.2 crore was created.

According to a case study by wealth advisory firm TheFynprint, Ajay, a retired engineer from Vadodara, made smart use of the NPS. He took advantage of Systematic Lump-Sum Withdrawal (SLW), a lesser-used feature of the NPS, and converted his ₹1.2 crore (approximately $12 million) retirement corpus into a disciplined and tax-efficient monthly income.

Aim to Make Big Money

Ajay transferred his entire post-retirement corpus to NPS in 2020 and continued contributing for the next five years. His goal was to earn approximately ₹90,000 per month. Of this, ₹50,000 would come from SLW and ₹40,000 from a joint-life annuity.
