Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises, causing purchasing power to fall over time. Understanding inflation is crucial for financial planning because a fixed amount of money will buy less in the future than it does today. Historically, India has experienced average inflation rates between 4 to 7 percent annually, which means the real value of your savings diminishes unless your investments earn returns above the inflation rate.
