Inflation
The rise in prices over time, which means the same money buys less each year.
At 6% inflation prices double in about 12 years. Plan goals in future rupees: a ₹20 lakh education cost today is about ₹40 lakh in 12 years.
Savings that earn less than inflation lose value even if the balance grows.
