Marrying in India is expensive. From the venue and the jewellery to the catering and the honeymoon, there is much to consider. Having a solid Rs 1 crore corpus before you tie the knot gives you a lot of freedom.

It allows you to say "yes" to the destination wedding you want, to put down payment on a house, or simply to start married life without money stress. For young Indians in their 20s or early 30s, this goal is achievable through disciplined saving and smart investing.

Here are some calculations which show how to reach a corpus of Rs crore by investing in Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and gold.

Investing In Mutual Fund SIPs:

Monthly investment needed: Rs 65,000

Time Duration: 5 years

Expected returns: 12%

Total investment: Rs 39 lakh

Estimated returns: Rs 13.72 lakh

Maturity corpus: Rs 52.72 lakh

Investing In Gold:

If you want to invest smaller amounts, you can consider starting early and hit the Rs 1 crore-mark over a much longer period.

The above calculations show how you can achieve a corpus of Rs 1 crore for your wedding. Please note that the actual rate of interest can differ from the amounts assumed above.

Tips To Achieve Rs 1 Crore Pre-Marriage Investment Portfolio

Reaching Rs 1 crore requires a combination of high savings rates, time, and the magic of compounding. You can use an online calculator to check how much you can get by investing in various instruments.

Diversification

You can diversify your investments across assets such as fixed deposits, gold and mutual funds. Accordingly, you can diversify and manage risks. 

To conclude, the journey to Rs 1 crore takes discipline and patience. It requires you to say "no" to short-term pleasures. For more informed decision-making, you can also consult financial professionals.
