A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is one of the two ways to invest in mutual funds. Through this, you can invest a fixed amount on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly basis. You don't need to invest a big amount at one time. SIPs can make you a disciplined investor and help you create a savings habit.

SIP has several benefits. Some of them include:

Flexible investment amount: In SIP, you can adjust your investment amount as per your capability.

Market knowledge: To invest in an SIP, you don't need to have too much market knowledge.

Diversification: You can diversify your portfolio to minimise the risk. 

Rupee cost averaging in SIP: With the rupee cost averaging method you can take advantage of market volatility. This means when you invest a fixed amount regularly, SIP can average out the value of each unit.

Minimum investment in SIP and annual returns estimations

There is no limit to the amount you can invest in a SIP. The minimum amount that you can invest is Rs 500 per month. You can get around 12-15 per cent annual returns in the SIPs.
