SWP vs Lump Sum Withdrawal

Compare drawing income monthly against withdrawing everything now.

Withdrawing a corpus in one go stops all future compounding and can push the entire gain into a single tax year. Staying invested and drawing monthly keeps the remaining balance growing: on ₹1 crore at 8%, an SWP of ₹60,000 a month pays out ₹1.8 crore over 25 years and still leaves a balance.

How this works

Tax is the hidden cost of a full withdrawal

Redeeming everything in one year stacks all gains into that year, uses up your ₹1.25 lakh equity exemption once, and can push you into surcharge territory. Spreading redemptions across years uses the exemption repeatedly.
