Special feature of SIP
The good thing about SIP is that you can increase or decrease your investment anytime. Financial expert Deepti Bhargava says that for better returns, everyone should invest by increasing a little amount every year. Even if you increase only Rs 500. This is not so difficult because your income also increases with time. Apart from this, the average return in SIP is 12 percent, but if you get more returns than this, your money will grow in even less time. At the same time, you can stop the SIP midway if needed and can start it again from there as per the time.
