Here&#8217;s a suggested plan:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High-Interest Savings Account or Fixed Deposits:<\/strong>&nbsp;While interest rates are relatively low, parking a portion (e.g., \u20b92 lakhs) ensures liquidity and earns some interest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monthly Income Schemes (MIS) from Post Office:<\/strong>&nbsp;Investing a portion (e.g., \u20b93 lakhs) can provide stable monthly income, though the returns are in the range of 6-7%.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Debt Mutual Funds with Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP):<\/strong>&nbsp;Allocating around \u20b92.5 lakhs in high-rated debt funds and setting up an SWP can provide a regular monthly income. They tend to offer better post-tax returns compared to FDs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dividend Yielding Stocks:<\/strong>&nbsp;Invest in stocks of well-established companies known for paying consistent dividends. While \u20b91 lakh might not fetch a huge dividend, it&#8217;s a start and offers potential capital appreciation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts):<\/strong>&nbsp;REITs invest in commercial real estate, generating rental incomes.
