Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good SIP return rate to assume?
For equity mutual funds, 10-±14% p.a. is a reasonable long-term assumption. Debt funds typically return 6-±8%. Use ±12% as a conservative estimate for equity.
What is Step-Up SIP?
Step-Up SIP increases your monthly investment by a fixed % each year. If you start with ₹5,000 and step up ±10% annually, year 2 becomes ₹5,500, year 3 ₹6,050, etc. This dramatically increases your final corpus.
Is SIP better than Lump Sum?
SIP averages out market volatility through rupee cost averaging. Lump sum works better when markets are at a low. For salaried investors, SIP is generally recommended.
Are SIP returns taxable?
Equity fund gains held over 1 year: 10% LTCG above ₹1L. Short-term (under 1 year): 15% STCG. Debt fund gains: taxed as per income slab.
