What is SIP?
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is a method of investing a fixed amount regularly in a mutual fund scheme. It allows you to invest small amounts periodically (monthly or quarterly) and benefit from the power of compounding and rupee cost averaging.
How ₹10,000 Monthly Can Become ₹3 Crore
To reach a target of ₹3 Crore, here’s how the math works:
| Monthly SIP | Duration | Expected Return (CAGR) | Final Corpus |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹10,000 | 25 Years | 12% p.a. | ₹3.0 Crore |
| ₹10,000 | 20 Years | 14% p.a. | ₹2.5+ Crore |
Monthly SIP plan
👉 Note: The longer you invest and the higher the return, the faster you reach ₹3 Crore.
