What is inflation?

Inflation reduces the value of money over time, making goods and services more expensive. 

What is inflation rate?

Inflation rate refers to the percentage increase in the price level of goods and services in an economy over a specific period, usually measured annually. 

Inflation rate in India: The average inflation rate in India has historically been around 5-6%. This rate can significantly affect the future value of money.

Future value calculation: The future value of Rs 1 crore can be calculated using the formula: Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Inflation Rate) ^ Number of Years.

Using an average inflation rate: Assuming an average inflation rate of 6% for simplicity, we can plug the numbers into the formula.

Result interpretation: This means that by 2050, Rs 1 crore would have the purchasing power equivalent to about Rs 4.29 crore today, assuming a 6% inflation rate.

Variability: Keep in mind that actual inflation rates can vary, and factors like economic conditions, government policies, and global events can influence these rates.

Therefore, Rs 1 crore today may lose significant value over the years, and it is essential to consider investment options that can outpace inflation to maintain wealth.
