Preparing for retirement should always be a well-thought-out and detailed process. After all, when you finally have the time and the chance to spend your days with your family, pursue your hobbies, travel, or start something of your own, you should not have to worry about the finances.
And this is why retirement planning should start at a stage when you are earning enough to allot some savings for your future expenses. There are a variety of retirement plans that allow you to accumulate your money over the years and then receive a steady flow of income that will support you during your post-retirement life. To understand retirement planning better, take a look at all the aspects of the term.
What is Retirement Planning?
At every stage of your life, you will need financial resources to help you meet your goals and commitments for yourself or your family. These can range from the smallest daily expenses like groceries and household bills to major purchases or expenditures such as education fees, business investments, buying a new car, etc.
Retirement planning involves making a long-term plan well before your retirement to ensure that you and your family are able to lead a comfortable life and fulfil all your retirement goals with the help of a guaranteed regular income or an assured lump sum of funds.
It is important to understand that every person’s retirement needs will not be the same. Depending on the number of family members and one’s individual goals, the funds you will need to sustain yourself and your family will vary. And hence, there are several retirement plans which you can choose from and customise by selecting a guaranteed sum assured, a policy term, a premium payment term, and a payout mode of your preference. This will help you ensure that the golden years of your life are financially secure and that you can enjoy them with dignity!
After 30-40 years of professional service, your body and mind need to relax and get rid of the stress, which is why you give up your professional duties. However, this also means the lack of a steady monthly salary that sustains you and your family. A pension plan provides this sustenance in the absence of a salary.
With a higher life expectancy rate in today’s time, you will need to ensure that you can save enough for your retirement fund to sustain you and your family through your retirement years. This means planning well in advance to ensure regular income for a greater number of your retirement years.
Given how inflation affects the prices of all commodities, you will need a regular stream of income to fulfil your daily and basic needs. You can decide the sum assured of your pension plan after factoring in the inflation rate so that the increasing cost of goods does not stop you from leading a comfortable life.
In your retirement years, if there is a medical emergency, you need to be equipped with the financial resources to face the challenge. While your savings may not be enough, retirement planning, or a pension plan can effectively help you get through the expenses of the treatment.
After your retirement, you are left with a lot of time which you can spend with your family and try some new hobbies and aspirations. If you have always wanted to start a business, a workshop, or an art boutique of your own, a retirement plan can provide the financial support you need.
If you have been employed in the private sector, you are not entitled to a government pension on retirement which makes it necessary for you to make one of your own. A retirement insurance plan can help you with the regular pension funds just like a government-backed pension plan

Having a retirement plan in place lets you live your post-retirement life in peace since you do not have to worry about your family’s daily expenses or about the fulfilment of major goals. The pre-planned retirement policy will help you earn a guaranteed* regular income which will be adequate.
The life insurance cover in a retirement plan is meant to ensure that your family is looked after in case of your untimely death. Your family will be paid out the sum assured as a death benefit in case you pass away during the policy term.
With the help of a regular income from your retirement plan, you can focus on your short-term and long-term goals. This will help you set aside some money in case you have some major expenses coming up while helping you and your family out for your day-to-day sustenance.
The tax# benefits that come with retirement planning can help you save more for your retirement so that your retirement corpus can be directed towards meeting the needs of your family. There are tax deductions and tax exemptions under Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act.
Your retirement plan is designed to grow your wealth such that the inflation rate over the years does not eat into your savings. Hence, by the time you have accumulated your retirement funds, you will have adequate resources since the returns are not affected by the inflation rate.
When you retire, your retirement funds should not only suffice for your basic needs but also for emergencies which may be too expensive for your savings. A retirement plan lets you accumulate and save any amount of funds for various emergencies which you should be able to meet effectively.

These are the broad steps that show the working for a retirement plan
Along with the maturity benefits, the life cover of a retirement plan also offers death benefits if you, the policyholder, happen to pass away during the policy period. This life insurance will provide your family with a death benefit that will help them sustain their livelihood in your absence.
Preparing for retirement at least 15-20 years before your retirement age is a safe bet since it allows you to save adequate retirement funds during this term. A longer tenure means you do not have to compromise on your other expenses while investing in the pension policy.
Decide which annuity option will work better for you, your family, and your financial goals. You can choose if you want to accumulate your funds through premiums and then receive the benefits on maturity or invest a lump sum right before you can start receiving the benefits.
It is always better if your retirement plan allows you to increase the payout benefits through a top-up. Such a feature can help you avail of a greater regular income in case you need to fulfil additional and unplanned financial goals later on during your retirement years.
Having a reliable insurance provider is important since their claim settlement ratio and reputation in the industry will determine if your claims will be settled on time and what are all the options they have to offer when it comes to getting you a suitable retirement plan.
