10.5 years

At ₹25,000 a month with a 10% annual step-up and 12% returns, you cross your first ₹1 crore in about 10.5 years (126 months). The encouraging part: at that growth rate your SECOND crore arrives in roughly half the time, because compounding works on a much bigger base.

Why the second crore is faster than the first

Wealth compounds on the base you have already built. By the time you reach ₹1 crore, the annual growth on the corpus alone (at 12 percent) is ₹12 lakh a year, more than most people contribute. From there the corpus does the heavy lifting and your contributions become the smaller part. This is why the wealthy seem to pull away: the gap is not effort, it is time spent compounding.
