Can you please review my balanced fund SWP

The funds you have selected are okay. The monthly SWP withdrawal amount of Rs. 18,000 from investment corpus of 27 Lakhs is also right! Therefore, you need not increase or decrease the monthly SWP amount and should continue with the same.

However, in future, if you find that the market is doing good and your corpus is also increasing then you might think of increasing the monthly withdrawal amount at least to the extent of prevailing inflation rate at that point in time.

For example, you are now withdrawing Rs. 18,000 per month and after 1 year the inflation rate is 5% then you might think of withdrawing Rs. 18,900.

With regards to increase in corpus after 10-12 years, post SWP withdrawals, it is difficult to answer. However you may refer to historical returns based on your example and may guess this. But as I said, you can only guess based on certain rate of return %, as past performance of mutual fund is no assurance of future returns.

Now, let us see what was the past performance ? We have calculated based on the historical performance of Birla Sun Life Balanced 95 Fund in which you have already invested 9,000 and withdrawing 6,000 per month. we have assumed the investment date as 1st December 2004. Following is the result -

You have withdrawn 8.64 Lakhs through 145 installments in the last 12 years and the current value is 35.28 Lakhs.
