Rs 1 crore is quite a large amount for many Indians, and it may be the corpus size you may want to retire with. But can it give you a lifelong income? The answer lies in your monthly income expectation from the Rs 1 crore corpus. Do you want to withdraw Rs 30,000, Rs 50,000 or a higher amount from the corpus?
