EPF interest rate is currently ~8.15% (2025-26). Your final EPF corpus depends on your contribution, employer contribution, and interest accrued. The default ₹2,40,000/year assumes a corpus of ~₹30,00,000 at withdrawal.

₹

PPF interest rate is currently ~7.1% (2025-26). PPF has a 15-year lock-in period, with partial withdrawals allowed from the 7th year. Maturity amount depends on your annual contribution (max ₹1,50,000/year under Section 80C).

NPS is market-linked. At age 60, you can withdraw up to 60% of the corpus tax-free, and use the remaining 40% to buy an annuity. The default assumes a monthly annuity amount. NPS offers additional tax benefits under Section 80CCD(1B) up to ₹50,000.

APY provides a guaranteed monthly pension based on your contribution tier (₹1,000 to ₹5,000 per month). The default assumes you are eligible for the minimum pension. APY is primarily for workers in the unorganised sector.

Indian Coast FIRE Insights

Key considerations for Coast FIRE planning in India.

🏛️

EPF — The Foundation

EPF is a mandatory scheme for salaried employees with a current interest rate of ~8.15%. Contributions are tax-deductible under Section 80C, and the maturity is tax-free. It's a risk-free, high-return asset that forms the backbone of your Coast FIRE plan.

💰

PPF — Long-Term Tax-Free Growth

PPF offers a 15-year lock-in period with a current interest rate of ~7.1%. It's a great debt option for long-term goals. Contributions up to ₹1.5 lakh/year qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C. Use PPF as your safe, tax-free bucket.

📈

NPS — Market-Linked Tax Efficiency

NPS provides additional tax benefits under Section 80CCD(1B) (up to ₹50,000). It is market-linked, so returns depend on your chosen asset allocation. At retirement, 60% of the corpus is tax-free, and the rest is used to buy an annuity.

👑

APY — Guaranteed Pension

APY is a government-backed scheme offering a guaranteed monthly pension (₹1,000 to ₹5,000) to workers in the unorganised sector. It provides a safety net and reduces the savings required for Coast FIRE by providing guaranteed income.
