Best SIP Plans? How to choose them? These are some of the common questions that occur in the mind of investors when thinking of investing in Mutual Funds through a SIP or Systematic Investment plan.
SIP investment is one of the most disciplined Investing options when investing in Mutual Funds. Moreover, the minimum amount of investing in a SIP Mutual Fund is as less as INR 500. This makes investing in Top SIP plans much convenient.

SIP investment in Mutual Funds is the most convenient way to inculcate the habit of saving. Too often the youngest generation of earning people do not save much. To have a Systematic Investment Plan one does not require a massive amount of investing as the starting amount is as low as Rs 500, and some funds even offer SIP for INR 100 monthly. From an early age, one can get into the habit of making their savings as a form of investment. SIP, thereby sets aside a fixed amount to be saved during each month. Systematic Investment Plans are therefore one of the most important tools of smart investing.
SIP’s help you prepare for your Financial goals in a hassle-free manner. Having a SIP is extremely convenient as the Mutual Funds require the paperwork to be done only one time after which the monthly amounts are debited from the Bank account directly without intervention. As a result, SIP’s do not require the efforts required by other investments & savings options.
