If you start SIP for a girl child with Rs 1000 at the time of her birth, then you can save more than Rs 14 lakh for her by the age of 18. For this, you just have to invest 10 percent top-up in SIP every year. Top-Up SIP is a facility in which you can add some amount to your regular SIP. You have to increase the amount of investment by 10 percent every year, which is not a very big amount.
This is how you can save ₹14,41,466
Suppose you started a SIP of Rs 1000 just a month after the birth of your child. Deposit only Rs 1000 for one year. Next year you will have to increase it by 10 percent of Rs 1000 i.e. Rs 100. In this way your SIP will become Rs 1100 next year. Next year you have to increase 10 percent of Rs 1100 i.e. Rs 110 more i.e. your SIP will become Rs 1210. Similarly, every year you have to add 10 percent to the existing amount.
You have to run the SIP with this formula for 18 years. In this way, in 18 years you will invest a total of Rs 5,47,190. But at the rate of 12 percent, you will get Rs 8,94,276 as interest. In this way, after 18 years you will get Rs 14,41,466 from the SIP which you can spend on the necessary expenses of the child. On the other hand, if you get higher returns i.e. up to 15 percent, then after 18 years you will get Rs 19,44,527.
