It is very difficult to answer as to what would the returns after 15 years on the balanced funds that you have invested in. This is simply because, mutual funds returns are not assured and there are many factors which influences the returns of a balanced fund. Some of these factors could be – stock selection by the fund manager, how debt markets does in the next 15 years and also on the funds that you have invested in and how they are doing currently.

Accordingly, if you benchmark the same return for your investments, then you can expect a corpus of Rs. 2.67 Lakhs. However, if you consider the category returns of 3 and 5 years, then it is 19.39% and 12.60% (according to valueresearch website).
