Sustaining corpus ₹10,00,000 · 63% reached
₹6.31 lakh of ₹10 lakh: 63% of the way to sustaining one scholarship. ₹3.69 lakh more and the fund sustains the award every year.
The Trust’s rule: a fund of ₹10 lakh sustains one ₹50,000 scholarship a year. That is 20 times the award. At the assumed 7% a year, this fund earns about ₹44,148.
The 7% rate is the Trust’s assumption for the interest estimate, not a promise. Real interest depends on bank deposit rates.
