I believe it's better to settle in tier2/tier 3 cities post retirement. Generally spending cuts is about 30% due to this. I believe if any individual has 1 lakh fix spends then may be one needs close to 3 cr to maintain lifestyle and make it double for margin of safety. So put you numbers in place of 1 lakh a month. Assumption is you have your own house. (Maybe not in tier1 city but your city of choice post retirement)

Keep adding inflation every year, otherwise doesn’t make sense to have this by 2035..

Should cover stable income and unexpected issues for rest of the life including beating inflation.
