Retirement & Pension Plans in Ahmedabad
A lump sum in a fixed deposit is not income — it is a countdown. Retirement planning converts money you have into a monthly payment that cannot run out: LIC Jeevan Akshay VII starts pension the very next month at a rate locked on day one, for as long as you live.
Every engagement starts with the same five numbers — true monthly expense, years to fund, guaranteed income already coming, the gap, and the corpus the gap demands — worked out free on one sheet of paper before any product is discussed.

Retirement Planning — common questions
How much corpus do I need to retire in Ahmedabad?
Subtract guaranteed income (EPF pension, rent) from true monthly expenses to get the gap, then multiply the annual gap by roughly 16–18 at current annuity rates. A Rs 20,000 monthly gap needs about Rs 40 lakh in an annuity — exact quotes come from LIC’s calculator, free.
FD vs LIC pension plan — which is better after retirement?
An FD pays interest from a pile that shrinks with every withdrawal and every rate cut. An annuity like Jeevan Akshay VII pays a contractually fixed amount for life, immune to market and rate movements. The standard architecture: pension for fixed expenses, FD for 6–12 months of emergency liquidity.
What are joint-life and return-of-premium options?
Joint-life continues the pension to your spouse after you; return-of-premium refunds the purchase price to nominees at the end. Both cost a small reduction in monthly payout and are usually worth it — modelled side-by-side in your illustration.
