1/9SIP is perfect for beginners. Some SIPs in mutual funds let you invest small amounts like Rs 100 regularly. It's convenient too, with automatic deductions, so you won't miss a payment. Just keep in mind, your returns will depend on the fund's performance and market conditions.
SIP lets you invest a fixed amount in mutual funds regularly - daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. You can start with just Rs 100 and change the amount as needed. It's a flexible way to invest and grow your money.
