So, what is a passive income and will it answer the question as to  how to become rich in India fast:

This is the money that you make while sleeping, eating, doing all the routine stuff every passing day. Coming straight to the point, invest in equity market via systemic investment plan (SIP) as early as possible to embrace the power of compounding. A little amount invested periodically can go a long way to accumulate wealth in some years. Pay heed to what Warren Buffett says in the following quote, and simply get on with passive income: 

If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die – Warren Buffet

Motilal Oswal Most Focused Multicap 35 Fund - Rs 4000

Here is what Shweta Jain, certified financial planner suggested to Yadav on Zee Business Mutual Fund show:

1) The current SIPs are not enough to accumulate Rs 1 crore in 10-12 years. At least Rs 32,000 per month investment will be required to collect inflation-adjusted Rs 1 crore during the said period.

2) The expert advised him to increase his time horizon along with investment amount to become a crorepati by late thirties.  

3) The expert cautioned him against investing lumpsum in mutual funds. "Instead of shelling out lumpsum in equity funds, better to do that in liquid funds, and then moving money from liquid to equity via Systemic Transfer Plan (STP)," she advised. 

Thus, being crorepati is not that difficult as it appears. All one needs is discipline and patience to enjoy rewards from the stock market.
