Divide your retirement corpus into buckets based on timeframe. Money flows from Bucket 3 → 2 → 1 as you age:
SWP lets you withdraw regular income from your corpus while keeping the rest invested. This allows compounding to continue.
Example: ₹2 Cr corpus with ₹80,000 monthly SWP. How long does it last at different return rates?
SWP is superior to lumpsum withdrawal because the remaining corpus continues earning returns. Even at lower market returns (8%), your corpus lasts 18+ years. At 10% returns, you never run out of money!
