Planning for retirement may not seem urgent when you’re in your 20s or 30s, but the truth is — the earlier you start, the more secure your future will be. With increasing life expectancy, rising healthcare costs, and inflation, retirement planning is no longer optional — it’s essential.

At PTIC India, we guide individuals at every life stage to secure a financially independent and comfortable retirement. Here’s why starting early makes all the difference.

🕰️ Why Start Early?

When you start planning for retirement in your 20s or 30s, time becomes your biggest advantage. The power of compounding ensures that even small, regular investments grow significantly over time.

Example:

Investing ₹5,000/month from age 25 could give you more than double the corpus compared to starting the same investment at age 35 — assuming a 10–12% annual return.

💸 The Impact of Inflation

What costs ₹1 lakh today could cost over ₹4 lakhs in 25 years. If your retirement is 20–30 years away, you’ll need a substantial corpus to maintain your current lifestyle. Starting early allows you to:

Beat inflation

Accumulate a larger corpus without financial strain

Avoid risky, last-minute investments close to retirement

🎯 Setting Retirement Goals

Before you begin, ask yourself:

At what age do I want to retire?

What monthly income will I need in retirement?

Do I want to travel, start a business, or support my children post-retirement?

Once you identify your goals, PTIC India can help you design a personalized retirement strategy that aligns with your aspirations.

🧾 Retirement Planning Options in India

Here are some popular and effective options to build your retirement fund:

✅ 1. Employee Provident Fund (EPF)

A government-backed savings scheme that builds a retirement corpus through monthly contributions from both employee and employer.

✅ 2. Public Provident Fund (PPF)

A long-term investment option with tax benefits under Section 80C and guaranteed returns. Ideal for conservative investors.

✅ 3. National Pension System (NPS)

Offers market-linked growth and the option to withdraw a lump sum and annuity at retirement. Tax-efficient and flexible.

✅ 4. Mutual Funds (Especially ELSS & SIPs)

Equity mutual funds, particularly SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans), offer high returns over the long term and are perfect for wealth creation.

Ensure you’re covered for medical expenses and life risks so your retirement savings are not impacted by unforeseen events.
