Frequently Asked Questions

How much will ₹50,000 SIP give after 15 years?

At 12% annual returns, a monthly SIP of ₹50,000 grows to ₹2,52,28,800 in 15 years. You invest ₹90,00,000 and earn ₹1,62,28,800 as returns - a wealth gain of 180%.

Is SIP better than FD for long-term goals?

For 15+ year goals, SIP in equity mutual funds has historically outperformed FDs significantly. An FD at 7% would give you around ₹2,54,86,347 on the same ₹90,00,000 lump sum, vs SIP's potential ₹2,52,28,800 through regular investing.

What if returns are lower - say 10% instead of 12%?

At 10% annual returns, your ₹50,000/month SIP for 15 years would grow to ₹2,08,96,213. At 8% it would be ₹1,74,17,257. Starting early and staying invested matters more than chasing the exact return rate.

What is the best SIP amount to start with?

Start with what you can sustain consistently. Even ₹500/month builds the habit. The real power of SIP is rupee cost averaging - buying more units when markets fall, fewer when they rise. Increase your SIP by 10% every year (step-up SIP) to dramatically boost the final corpus.

How is SIP taxed in India?

Each SIP instalment is treated as a separate investment. For equity funds: gains held over 12 months are LTCG taxed at 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh exemption (post Budget 2024). Gains under 12 months are STCG at 20%. For debt funds, all gains are taxed at your income slab rate.
