Advice on saving for Marriage

Hi All,

I'm 29 M, recently switched to a new job. I am currently earning ₹1.2 lakh per month. I plan to get married within the next year, and I estimate the marriage expenses to be around ₹10-12 lakh. I would like advice on how to save at least ₹8 lakh over the next year to help cover these expenses.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

What’re your expenses per month ?

Don’t over complicate matters - just siphon off whatever your savings into a sweep in - sweep out account. Automatic near FD rates apply.

No need to short term products - liquid funds, arbitrage, etc. Not worth the hassle.

What is sweep in - sweep out account?
Im 30F, planning to get married soon.
I have some savings for the wedding but I really don’t know when the wedding can happen, so, for this reason, I can’t take the risk to invest the money. Due to this Im unable to grow the money. Any suggestions? :)
