Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why is goal inflation planning important?
Because an expense costing ₹50 Lakhs today will cost over ₹1 Crore in 12 years at a moderate 6% inflation, meaning standard savings targets would fall short.
What inflation rate should I use?
For general domestic goals in India, 6% to 7% is a safe and conservative benchmark. For education or healthcare, 8% to 10% is recommended.
