Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)?▼
A Systematic Investment Plan is a method of investing a fixed sum of money into a mutual fund scheme at regular intervals (typically monthly), instilling financial discipline and averaging out market volatility through rupee-cost averaging.
Is SIP better than investing a lump sum?▼
SIP is generally preferred for salaried investors because it eliminates the risk of bad market timing and matches regular monthly income. Lump-sum investing can generate higher total returns if deployed during broad market downturns, but carries higher timing risk.
What is a realistic expected return for equity mutual funds?▼
Historically, broad diversified Indian equity funds (like Nifty 50 or broad multicap funds) have delivered annualized returns between 11% and 13% over rolling 10-year periods. Debt mutual funds generally deliver 6% to 7.5%.
How are equity mutual funds taxed?▼
Under Indian tax regulations, equity mutual fund gains held for longer than 12 months are subject to 12.5% Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax on profits exceeding ₹1.25 lakh per year. Gains held for less than 12 months are taxed at 20% Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG).
What is the difference between Direct and Regular mutual fund plans?▼
Direct plans have lower expense ratios because they do not pay distributor commissions. Over a 15-to-20 year investment horizon, the 0.5% to 1% expense savings in Direct plans can increase your final maturity corpus by 10% to 15%.
Can I change my SIP amount in the future?▼
Yes. Most fund houses allow you to pause, stop, or increase your SIP contributions at any time without financial penalties. You can also configure automated "Step-Up SIPs" that increase your contribution annually.
