Inflation erodes purchasing power over time. At 6% inflation, your corpus will have less buying power in the future than its nominal value suggests.
How SIP Works
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows you to invest a fixed amount (₹3,000) every month into mutual funds. The power of SIP comes from rupee cost averaging (buying more units when prices are low) and compounding (your returns generate their own returns over time).
Over 1 years, your total investment of ₹36,000 can potentially grow to ₹38,428at 12% annual returns — that's a wealth gain of ₹2,428, or 7% on your invested amount.
The longer you stay invested, the more dramatic the compounding effect becomes. Even small monthly investments can grow into substantial wealth over 15-20+ years.
