The ₹10 lakh mark comes at year 15
Keep ₹2,000 going for 15 years and the estimate crosses ₹10 lakh, at about ₹10,09,152. What surprises most people is the split. Only ₹3,60,000 of that is money you put in. The other ₹6,49,152, about 64%, is estimated growth.
At 5 years the picture is the opposite, with ₹1,20,000 invested and just ₹44,973 of growth. The longer you hold, the bigger the share that comes from growth rather than from your pocket.
