Understanding Step-up SIPs and SIP Investment Rules in Specialised Investment Funds
Step-up Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) allow investors to gradually increase their monthly contributions, aligning with salary hikes and inflation to better meet long-term financial goals. Meanwhile, Specialised Investment Funds (SIFs) also permit SIPs, but require a minimum investment of Rs 10 lakh at the PAN level before starting systematic investments. Investors should understand these thresholds and conditions, including withdrawal and transfer rules, to effectively plan their investments in both mutual funds and SIFs.
