Based on the information provided, here's a comprehensive investment plan to help you make the most of your retirement corpus:

Investment Objectives 1. *Income Generation*: Create a steady income stream to supplement your pension. 2. *Capital Preservation*: Safeguard your retirement corpus while generating returns. 3. *Growth*: Invest in assets that can grow over time, providing a hedge against inflation. Asset Allocation

To achieve the above objectives, consider the following asset allocation: 1. *Fixed Income (40% - 50% of retirement corpus)*: - Bank FDs: Rs. 40 lakh ( approx. 2.5% interest) - Post Office MIS: Rs. 15 lakh ( approx. 7.5% interest) - Consider investing in other fixed income options like bonds or debt mutual funds 2
