After 60, the financial job changes completely: stop growing money, start guaranteeing it. I tell every senior citizen who visits my Shela office the same thing — your saving years are over, your income years have begun.

This guide covers the three moves that matter after retirement: pension, health buffer, and paperwork your children can actually use.

Convert corpus to pension with Jeevan Akshay VII

Provident fund, gratuity and maturities sitting in savings accounts earn little and get nibbled monthly. Converting a portion into an immediate annuity locks a monthly pension at day-one rates, with joint-life so your spouse keeps receiving it and return-of-purchase-price so capital returns to nominees.

The rule: pension money must be guaranteed, never market-linked. The monthly gap is non-negotiable, so its funding must be too.

Keep health shocks out of the pension

One hospitalisation should never eat the pension corpus. Arogya Rakshak-style hospitalisation cover and Cancer Cover-style lump-sum protection sit beside the pension, while 12 months of expenses stay liquid in a senior-citizen FD for roofs, admissions and emergencies.

Insure the shocks separately and the pension survives them — that separation is the whole architecture.

Leave paperwork, not puzzles

Old policies with missing nominees, forgotten maturities and unknown branches are the commonest inheritance I untangle. Bring date of birth and PAN; I trace branches, register nominees, and consolidate everything onto the one-page sheet your children can act on.

Policy tracing and claim support cost nothing and need no prior relationship — call or WhatsApp +91 98240 25435.
