The online tool designed for members of the Indian Railway Medical Fund (IMRF) helps estimate retirement benefits specifically for the defined contribution scheme. This supplemental savings plan allows members to contribute a portion of their salary, which is then invested and grows over time. An example would be a railway doctor using this tool to project their accumulated savings based on their contribution rate and estimated investment returns.
Providing this resource empowers IMRF members to plan for a financially secure retirement. By inputting various contribution levels and considering potential market performance, members can gain a clearer picture of their future retirement income. This awareness encourages proactive financial planning and enables informed decision-making regarding contributions and investment strategies. The availability of such tools reflects a broader trend towards greater transparency and member empowerment in retirement planning.
