Inflation Guide

What is Inflation?

Inflation is the rate at which prices of goods and services increase over time. If inflation is 6%, a product costing ₹100 today will cost ₹106 next year.

Why does it matter?

Inflation reduces your Purchasing Power. If your savings are earning 4% interest in a bank account but inflation is 6%, you are effectively becoming 2% poorer every year. To grow wealth, your investments must beat inflation.

Typical Inflation Rates in India

  • General Inflation: 5-7% (Household expenses).
  • Education Inflation: 8-10% (School/College fees rise faster).
  • Medical Inflation: 12-15% (Healthcare costs rise the fastest).
