Question 1

What is the Financial Scenario Planner?

Accepted Answer

The Financial Scenario Planner is an interactive simulation tool designed for Indian families to model unexpected life events—such as salary drops, job losses, high inflation, medical emergencies, or family expansions—and see their exact impact on household cash flow and retirement stability before they happen.

Question 2

How does this tool differ from investment calculators?

Accepted Answer

Traditional investment calculators tell you how much money you will make if market returns are fixed. The Financial Scenario Planner simulates real-world life changes. It measures your household financial resilience, emergency fund runway, and inflation protection rather than pitching financial products.

Question 3

What is the Financial Stability Score?

Accepted Answer

The Financial Stability Score is a unique 0–100 index that measures your household's resilience against unexpected shocks. It evaluates your income stability, expense-to-income ratio, emergency liquid fund runway, medical shock protection, and inflation resilience.

Question 4

How does inflation affect my future financial planning in India?

Accepted Answer

In India, headline inflation (averaging 5.5% to 8%) and specialized inflation (education at 10–12% and medical at 12–14%) rapidly erode purchasing power. Scenario planning helps you build an inflation-proof savings cushion in sovereign government-backed schemes.
