Lump Sum — Frequently Asked Questions

How is lumpsum investment return calculated?

A lump sum compounds as FV = P × (1+r)ⁿ, where P = amount invested, r = annual return and n = years. For example, ₹5L at 12% for 10 years grows to about ₹15.5L. CAGR works backwards: CAGR = (Final/Initial)^(1/years) − 1.

Is lumpsum or SIP better?

It depends on cash flow and markets. SIP averages your entry price and suits regular income, reducing timing risk. A lump sum can outperform when invested early in a rising market because the full amount compounds for longer. Many investors do both — a lump sum when they have surplus, plus an ongoing SIP.

How is a lumpsum investment taxed?

By asset: equity LTCG above ₹1.25L/year at 12.5% (>1 year), STCG at 20%; debt funds at your slab; gold and real estate at 12.5% LTCG (≥2 years) else slab; FD interest at slab; PPF is fully exempt (EEE). All rates reflect Budget 2024.
