Rahul Gandhi turned 56 on Friday, June 19, 2026, as the Leader of Opposition in Parliament and Lok Sabha MP from Raebareli. While the Congress leader marked the occasion quietly, his financial portfolio—disclosed in an affidavit filed with the Election Commission of India before the 2024 General Elections—has drawn fresh attention. The document reveals a net worth of over ₹20 crore as of March 3, 2024, built through a mix of real estate, mutual funds, stocks, and gold.

Unlike many politicians who rely primarily on salary, Gandhi’s income stream is significantly diversified. In the financial year 2022–23, he earned ₹1.02 crore in total annual income. An MP’s basic salary in India is ₹1.24 lakh per month, plus a ₹2,500 allowance—far below what Gandhi reported. Parameters of his wealth suggest investments have played a bigger role than parliamentary remuneration.

As of March 3, 2024, Gandhi held ₹26.25 lakh in savings accounts across two major banks: State Bank of India (SBI) and HDFC Bank. The SBI account showed ₹2.22 lakh, while HDFC held ₹24.03 lakh. Only ₹55,000 in cash was kept at home, indicating a clear preference for formal financial instruments over holding physical money.

His mutual fund portfolio alone stands at ₹3.81 crore. Gandhi is known to be an active mutual fund investor, with a diversified bag including Parag Parikh Flexi Cap and HDFC Small Cap Funds. He also holds mid-cap and debt-oriented schemes, showing a balanced approach to risk.

Stock market exposure is even larger. Through his demat account, Gandhi has invested ₹4.33 crore directly in equities—more than his mutual fund SIP route. His portfolio leans heavily on blue-chip, large-cap companies: Infosys, TCS, Titan, Nestle India, Asian Paints, ICICI Bank, and ITC. The biggest wealth creator in his equity holdings appears to be Pidilite Industries, the company behind Fevicol adhesives.

Beyond equities, the Raebareli MP holds corporate bonds, including one from Britannia Industries Ltd, India’s largest biscuit manufacturer. For safety, he also invested ₹15.21 lakh in Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs), issued by the Government of India. Physical gold and jewellery add another ₹4.2 lakh to his portfolio.

Real estate forms the backbone of Gandhi’s wealth. His real estate holdings in India total ₹11.15 crore. In Gurugram, he purchased commercial properties in 2014 at ₹7.93 crore; by March 2024, their value rose to ₹9.04 crore. In South Delhi’s Mehrauli, he is co-owner—alongside sister Priyanka Gandhi—of 3.77 acres of agricultural land, valued at over ₹2 crore. This is ancestral property. He also owns a farmhouse in South Delhi, jointly with Priyanka, valued at ₹15 lakh, which he disclosed as not inherited.

The affidavit paints a picture of a politician who treats investing as a serious side profession. His asset mix—mutual funds, equities, bonds, gold, and commercial real estate—reflects a long-term strategy rather than speculative trading.

Further details on how this portfolio has changed post-March 2024 are not publicly available. The Election Commission requires updated affidavits only during election cycles, so newer figures may emerge ahead of the next polls.

For now, as Gandhi celebrates another birthday, the conversation around his finances underscores a broader trend: Indian politicians increasingly appear as informed investors, navigating markets with the same seriousness as corporate professionals. Whether this influences public perception remains to be seen, but the numbers themselves are clear—investment, not salary, has built the bulk of RaGa’s wealth.
