SWP in context
A systematic withdrawal plan sells units each month to fund a fixed cash amount โ unlike dividends, you control the amount (subject to available units and fund rules). Returns are not constant; we use one rate for illustration.
The 4% rule (popular in the US) is a rough withdrawal heuristic from a stock-heavy portfolio โ inflation and market crashes can break simple rules; Indiaโs inflation and product mix differ.
Tax: SWP is often discussed as potentially tax-efficient versus arbitrary dividend choices because you withdraw based on cost basis โ confirm with a CA for equity/debt fund rules.
