FAQs
Is SIP better than lumpsum investment?
In rising markets, lumpsum wins. In volatile/falling markets, SIP wins by averaging cost. For most investors, SIP is better because: (1) reduces timing risk, (2) builds discipline, (3) works with salary pattern.
Should I increase SIP every year?
Yes, if possible. Increase by 10-20% annually matching salary growth. This boosts final corpus significantly without much effort. ₹5k → ₹6k in year 2 → ₹7.2k in year 3 compounds wealth beautifully.
What return should I assume for equity vs debt funds?
Equity: 10-12% (historical average, can vary). Debt: 6-7%. Balanced/Hybrid: 8-9%. Gold: 6-8%. Remember these are estimates. Conservative investors use 1-2% lower. Don't expect guaranteed returns.
Can I pause or withdraw my SIP?
Yes, most funds allow pausing for 3-6 months. Withdrawals are possible but trigger capital gains tax. If forced to withdraw before 1 year, you face short-term capital gains tax (30% for equity). Avoid if possible.
